Blessings
from Chile
FIRST:
Though limited some by the size of the room we gather in on Sundays, we have a
full ministry schedule and lots of weekly gatherings and people involved. Here is how are weekly
schedule is breaking down now: Mon nights is New Believers Bible-Study; Tues is
Men’s Group; Wed is a Dating/Relationships Group; Thurs is Surfers Bible Study;
Friday is Women’s Group; Sunday is our Fuego Urbano gathering at 11am, followed
immediately by our kids ministry Fuegitos. It has been cool to see God move
lately in the people because all these groups were started in response to the
expressed desire of the people themselves. God has been doing some really cool
life-transformation through them: for example the family of Rut & Eduardo.
Rut was invited by a friend to the Women’s Group and then she started coming on
Sundays; she eventually invited her husband Eduardo who came and loved it so
they started coming together and then inviting their kids who are all teens or
early 20-somethings; now the whole family is coming and super hungry and on
fire to know God more. They are all being transformed by what God is doing in
them and it has been awesome to see. I don’t have a picture of them all but I
do have the photo below from our first Men’s Group gathering, and Eduardo is
the 3rd one in on the left. Please pray God will continue to work in
their lives and in all these weekly gatherings, so that more and more people
draw near to Him.
SECOND: One
of our cars has had some problems so we’ve been with only 1 car for the past 2
weeks. We
are hoping to get it back in the next few days but still aren’t sure and also
don’t know how much it will cost in the end; and with only one care we have
been fairly limited in what we can do but God has been faithful in that too. Please
pray God will give the mechanic wisdom to figure out what is wrong, and also
that the mechanic is honest and doesn’t lie or charge us more then he should. Thanks!
THIRD: I
have been surfing lots with people from the Surfers Bible-Study. Even though I don’t have
a car, Gustavo (one of the guys we baptized just before I left for CA) has been
picking me up almost every day to surf with him and whoever else we know who
can on any given day. Gustavo is so stoked and passionate about surfing that he
actually fires me up, and after only 1 year surfing he’s already dropping in on
solid 6ft waves. Here’s a picture from ‘Caleta de Hornos’ from left to right:
Matt from CA who just visited; Eduardo; me; Gustavo. Please pray God continues
to open up the hearts and minds of the surfers here as I develop relationships
with them through surfing.
FOURTH: Please
pray for Pepe as he will be co-leading & organizing an ‘International
Sports Coalition’ training event, focusing on how to use sports to reach and
serve our local communities around the world. They are expecting about 50 people from Latin America and around the world, and
it lasts 10 days so it is quite long and intense. Pepe is in charge of the
logistics so please pray God gives him strength and that God would move in
those who come so they can go back to their own communities and put what they
learn into practice.
