My mom and dad got off . Their flight was suppose to leave Guayaquil at 1:10am Saturday morning, and it was delayed... they finally left Guayaquil about 3:50am! They were worn out by the time they finally got home to Tennessee, around 3:00pm on Saturday. We really enjoyed having them here and are so thankful that they were able to come.
Our youth group has been meeting on Sunday afternoons, but we moved that this past week to start meeting at 5:00pm on Saturdays. That seemed to work out well. This past Saturday Luis led the devotional time. He and Melanie are doing really well with the young people. Please continue to keep this minstry in your prayers.
We had a good attendance this last Sunday. There were 90 present for the preaching service. We had a family visit for the first time. They had been listening BBN here and called the office in Guayaquil to find out where a church was in Manta. They haven't accepted Christ yet, but were very interested. Please pray for the salvation of Cristobal and Nelly.
We are excited as the day to sign for the property approaches. That is September 3. God has blessed us so much. All the money for this final installment has come in! We are now asking the Lord to provide the $11,400 that we borrowed from our Mission to make the down payment. Please be praying with us that this money will come in. Once that is taken care of, the next step will be to start raising money to build! We can't wait to see what the Lord is going to do here!
Thank you everyone for your prayers for the ministry here in Manta!
God Bless!
