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.
