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.

CBH Ministries > For Kids > Keys for Kids > Read & Listen

This is a great resource for Children's Ministries...Kid's devotions, etc. They allow you to choose KJV/NKJV/NIV for the scripture reading. You can either just read the story, listen to it, or if audio doesn't want to play right, you can download it.

We have made this a part of our morning Bible Class. Kids love it!

Blessings,
Joy

Weekly Update...

Today our friends from Battlefield Baptist Church, returned to the US.  We had a very hectic and busy week, but we also had many blessings!

Thursday morning at a local park, the team, along with people from our church invited people to a local park to watch a puppet "show".  After some songs, a puppet skit and Tony giving a brief gospel message, 8 precious children prayed to ask Jesus to come into their heart!

Saturday afternoon, we had over 50 ladies gather for a special Ladies Matinee.  We had 4 first time visitors.  It was a wonderful time of fellowship and teaching.  While the ladies were having their special time together, 15 men met with Tony, Pastor Skinner and the men from the group and they had a question and answer time.  

Sunday morning we had record attendances both in Sunday School, 140 and the Church service of 204.  4 people made public professions of faith!  It was a great morning.  That evening we had over 210 at our Anniversary Dinner.  What a blessing to see God working and moving in hearts.  Many of our church people worked hard preparing and serving the dinner and just making it all a very special time.

Thank you all for your prayers for our family and the ministry here in Manta!  God is doing great things in this place.

Blessings,
Joy

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!
