Yago's first Sunday at church

Last Sunday was the first one for Yago. Yago is Carlos and Talia's new baby who was born two weeks ago. Carlos and Talia are our neighbors who we have been ministering to since we moved to our home. We're sure most of you know of them and have been praying for them. They have not committed their lives to the Lord yet but they are very thankful to God for the gift they have received in Yago and they wanted Ivan to pray for him. So last Sunday the whole family came to church and listened to the Bible study. Alicia and Eunice sang a song to Yago and Ivan prayed for him and his parents, thanking God for this new life. Our neighbors were thrilled and very thankful for everything.

The other family you see in the picture are Alicia and Antonio's friends, Santiago and Abigail with their babies Keira and Christian. They wanted to visit us and worshipped the Lord with us.

Two weeks ago, the Lord blessed us with a few days off and we went to visit Eunice's parents in Huelva. We enjoyed a great time of rest, good conversations and a beautiful beach. Thank you, Lord!!

One of the things we have been praying for is the possibility of letting the town know about us by some kind of track we can leave in people's letter boxes. Well, the other day a brother from another church offered us his help. He said he had done this many times for church plants before and was willing to help us as well. So this is something you can pray for as we are going to start moving towards making this happen.

More prayer requests... Our dear home church, CC Upland wants us to visit them in October. This would be a dream for us because we love them all dearly and miss them. But the Lord truly has to make this happen if it's His will. So please pray for direction and guidance as we make the necessary arrangements. Pastor Randy also wants a group from the church to come to Malaga next February. Keep this in your prayers also.

There is two more things we have been praying for with Antonio and Alicia. One is the possibility of doing a Bible study during the week with unbelievers who would be willing. Sunday studies can be hard for some people to attend so we thought this would be something important to do. But we are waiting for God's guidance in this matter. The second one is an idea Alicia and Eunice had a few months ago. We would like to invite relatives, friends and neighbors who have kids and show a Christian movie for children. This movie talks about sin, God's love and salvation in Jesus. There's lots of children in this area and we have seen the Lord do wonderful things through Christian children. So please pray for this too.

As you see, your prayers are being heard and God is moving all around us. The sipiritual need is so big that sometimes we get overwhelmed by it. But God keeps reminding us He is the Lord of the church and the Almighty God.
