Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

Happy Anniversary Iglesia Biblica Bautista de Manta!!

Today we will be celebrating the 7th Anniversary of the church here in Manta!  It is pretty hard to believe that 7 years has gone by.  In many ways it seems like it was only last week, that we excited prepared for the first service.

God has blessed us so much.  It is so exciting to look back at the photos of where we were and where he has brought us to.  To view the lives that he has transformed and the souls that he has saved.  What a joy to know that he used us to be a part of this!!

Yesterday afternoon, we had 50 ladies join us for a special "Matinee de Damas"  (Ladies Matinee).  It was such a blessing and we know that 4 ladies that haven't accepted Christ as their Savior were there, and that they heard the gospel message.  God is working in their hearts.

This morning we will be having a special prayer of dedication for Darwin and Jessica as they start their ministry at the church as the Associate Pastor.  Darwin's parents have committed to attend this morning.  He has worked on getting them to church for years now, and they have never come.  Please join us in praying that today would be the day, and that they would receive Christ as their Savior!

God is doing great things!  He is faithful and all the glory and honor belong to Him!

Blessings to you and yours on this Lord's Day!
