DIOS ME VE APRIL NEWSLETTER


Brothers and Sisters, thank you so much for partnering with us during the month of April. It has been such a great month of service to the Lord and to the community of the Colonia 89. We are so blessed to be able to write to you all once again. We pray the Lord continues to place it in your hearts to keep us in your prayers. Here is a summary of some of the activities that took place in the Lord’s ministry of Dios Me Ve this past month of April. Thank you for being a part of it all; your partnership is an incredible blessing to us all. We pray the Lord continues to abundantly bless you just as you have abundantly blessed others.   




On April 3rd we were blessed to have the youth Group of Horizon Church come and spend time with the children of the Colonia 89. We are blessed to say that this isn’t the first time that the Lord has allowed us to partner with the youth of Horizon and each of their visits has undoubtedly been a great blessing for us and the community. Our Young brothers and sisters had games and activities planned for the kids, as well as some delicious hamburgers for everyone. We were also able to bless some of the children with backpacks and schools supplies. It was so amazing to see the Lord’s love being poured out onto all the children. From getting used as a canvas to getting splashed with a sponge, from working the grill to serving a plate, each and everything that was done on that day was used as a conduit of the Lord’s abundant love and grace for everyone. We are truly grateful to the Lord for allowing us to continue to serve Him as a His body. Please help us pray that all that was done on that day can transcend through time so that even when those children grow older they may always be reminded that the Lord loves them.



On April 10th we were once again given the privilege to serve alongside our Young brothers and sisters of Horizon. On this occasion the Youth Group came to help us with some construction, cleaning and painting. Since early morning our brothers and sisters were hard at work; while some were helping us install the drainages around the buildings of Dios Me Ve others were painting where needed to be painted in Dios Me Ve and in the community.




We also had the youth help us with some much needed cleaning in the storage and property for the future youth center.  It was all such a huge help and blessing to us and the congregation as these are things that many times we do not have the man power needed to get it done ourselves. We greatly thank the Lord for the willing hearts of our Young brothers and sisters; their service always brings us such great joy. We pray that the desire to serve the Lord continues to fill their hearts and that they may bravely follow the Lord where ever He leads them.



Thanks to God, the congregation of Dios Me Ve is in constant growth. We have recently had more families start attending the Wednesday Bible classes and Sunday services. For years, we only had children attending the bible teachings at Dios Me Ve because their parents would refuse to come, but little by little that has started to change. Now, we have entire families coming to listen to the Word, parents and children together are being edified by the Scriptures. This has been a huge blessing as we have been able to see how the children have motivated their parents to come to Dios Me Ve to learn about the Lord.




Since the recent increase in attendance we noticed that there was a need to have Bible classes for the children. So we prayed and encouraged the congregation to pray about having bible classes for the kids on Wednesdays while the adults were in their own Bible class. We especially prayed for the Lord to place it in the hearts of some of the members of the congregation to teach the Children themselves. After much prayer the Lord answered; the Lord placed it in the hearts of our sisters in Christ, Maria de Jesus and Tere to teach the children, so this past month they have started giving Bible class to the children of Dios Me Ve in the Dios Me Ve children’s building. Maria and Tere have both completed the Firm Foundations bible studies on more than one occasion in Dios Me Ve and they will be sharing the same studies with the children. Please keep Maria and Tere in your prayers as this is the first time that they will be teaching the Scriptures. Pray the Lord gives them His wisdom and His understanding as they disciple the children of the Colonia 89 in His Word. 



On April we also received the invitation to go to the Calvary Chapel Bible College Campus San Miguel for an open house event from the 13th – 15th of April. We had a group of brothers and sisters in Christ from the congregation of Dios Me Ve go and worship the lord, get edified through the biblical teachings, get to know the Campus, have fellowship with other brothers and sisters in Christ, and have fun with many team work activities and games. Those that were able to attend the open house spoke of their experience with joy and great encouragement. We are grateful to the lord for the opportunities that He gives us of being able to fellowship with our family in Christ. Please continue to keep the congregation of Dios Me Ve in your prayers; especially pray for those that went to the open house and felt it in their hearts to study the word of God in the Bible College.




We would like to take this time to thank all of you for constantly praying for us and supporting us each month in all that the Lord guides us to do in His ministry of Dios Me Ve. We are blessed to be able to partner with you all and serve the Lord together. We hope that during the month of May you can continue to feel it in your hearts to keep praying and supporting all that the Lord will do through our lives in His ministry and in the community. We look forward to what the Lord has instore for us all.

Much love and many blessings,

Your family in Christ of Dios Me Ve Ministries.
