our Holy Holy God

i´ve tried unsuccessfully to update the blog 5 times now over the past few days... everytime i get the latest happenings typed up(4 days worth now!)... the computer crashes, the internet goes out, or the site stops working! so here is what you need to know: a girl by the name of Clarissy who lives in Miami and visits her grandmother here in Corongo each summer accepted Christ on Wednesday and Sarah is beginning to disciple her. We were able to lead 6 young men in the prayer of salvation Wednesday night. one of them showed up for discipleship today- his name is Eduardo. I dont have the other guys´names with me right now, they´re in Matthew´s journal. Tito is becoming ever closer to receiving Christ. He returns from his weekend trip tomorrow- please continue to pray for him. Also, there´s a 15yr old named America who seems to knock on my door late in the nite quite frequently--in regards to English lesson questions from school! She really wants to be able to speak English and travel, I continually share the gospel with her. She has lots of questions and reservations but is dilligently pursuing a relationship with me that is open and comfortable. please pray for her salvation as well!

My upper respiratory infection is ALMOST gone (four weeks now haha!) but Matthew´s is in the full-blown stage. Pray for his healing. Also, we both got a little yucky stomach thing earlier today- pray for protection over all of us.

We have our FIRST house church tomorrow morning! At 10am we will be gathering together and singing praises to our Father, learning from the Word in a bible study-like set-up and teaching what it means to be in a LIVING RELATIONSHIP with Christ instead of being bound by dead religion. Everyone that we´ve invited has liked the idea of an intimate gathering where you can ask questions and truly learn. So far, there´s all sorts of people coming: some already evangelical christians, some ´´catholics,´´ and some lost friends seeking the Truth! Pray dilligently!
i hope to put up some pics of us soon... got lots of pics of new believers and people to pray for in regards to salvation! you never got to see our travel pics- sorry! Let´s just say corongo´s internet has been less than appetizing lately and that they almost lost a few computers due to my throwing stones!

i´ll try again later to update with the pics- thank you for the time you spend on your knees! we love you ALL:)

Gracias a Dios! Gloria a Dios! Que Dios les bendiga!- jlr<><
