Smith Prayer & Praise - September 2008
Thanks for praying!
Praise:
- The meeting at the camp last Friday with the Mexican equivalent of the EPA went very well. They seemed to be very impressed with the building plans and the little impact that the plans will have on the environment. They thought the camp should have an answer, most likely approval, in the next month and a half.
- We have had many visitors in both our Sunday service and our Tuesday prayer meeting the last few weeks. We are excited to see new people coming and showing interest.
- Starting this month we are renting a roofed property that is beside our current church meeting place. At the end of the month, after making some adaptations, we hope to begin holding our Sunday service on the property, and use the current meeting area for both kid’s Sunday School classes and, in the future, a community outreach center.
Prayer:
- Please pray for our neighbor, Lucy, and her daughter, Naomi, with whom we plan to start an evangelistic Bible study with this evening.
- Please pray for Rodrigo and Alejandra and their family as they step away from some ministries they have been carrying out in order to focus on strengthening their relationship with the Lord, their marriage, and their family.
- Please pray for an upcoming missions trip from our church to the mountains of the state of Hidalgo September 12-16. Pray for open doors for the good news, safety in our travels, Bryan’s preparation to share a five hour conference on “How to Study the Bible” and a two hour youth conference on “Sexual Purity.” Our co-worker, Bob Buhler, will be giving a five hour conference on “A Healthy Church.” Our oldest daughter, Kendra, plans to accompany Bryan and six other church members.
Thanks again for your prayers! God is answering them and working here in Mexico.
