2007 February Prayer Guides
Greetings from Cuernavaca, Morelos. We praise God for His faithfulness in each of us, our life and ministry.
Praise
Abe spent a good week with his grandmother and friends in Paraguay. She suffers from Alzheimer. Praise God that she is in good health for her age (90) and pray that she’d walk in God’s grace day by day.
Praise God for all the pastors of Emmanuel Presbytery started daily devotion with Nuestro Pan Diario (RBC), and study together Lo Que Significa Ser Reformado (CRC) at our monthly "Encuentro con Pastores" meetings.
El Nazareno RPC’s pastoral transition has been settled. Pastor Jose Luis Gonzalez took the call for this church. Thanks for your prayer. However, as a consequence, Maranatha RPC is now in search of a pastor, along with Shekinah RPC whose preacher is moving onto La Hermosa Mission. Abe will preach more often at Maranatha RPC until its search committee finds a pastor. Pray that each church would call for a visionary & mission-minded pastor. Pray for pastor Julio Carvajal whose future is uncertain at this point.
Pray
A mission in Nopalera (Pastor Jose Ocampo) has shown a rapid growth. Last Sunday there were 20 worshippers in a family service. Bless the Salazar family for their openness and hospitality.
Shekinah RPC (Temixco) & Bethel RPC (Guerrero) want to give the finishing touches for their temple. May God provide its construction needs and hands to work.
We will visit a church in Toluca. Pastor Tino, a friend from Chiapas, invited Abe to preach on Feb. 4.
La Hermosa RPC (a mission under Shekinah RPC) will celebrate anniversary on Feb. 11. Abe will preach. May she continue to grow by God’s Spirit.
Mr. Cho (a Korean student of Univ. Auton. de Estado de Morelos) decided to have a One-to-one discipleship with Abe. We have ministered his marriage needs so far. May God reveals His purposes in him through discipleship course.
Dr. René Padilla will be in town for a conference on Feb. 24-26. May it be a blessing for all the pastors of AMEM.
Continue to pray for Abe & Elaine’s teaching (Missiology, Institutions, & Evangelism II) at Reformed Theological Seminary in DF.
Esdras Concepcion (a seminary graduate who lives in Palenque, Chiapas) is desperately awaiting for a church call. Since graduation in 2006, he has barely survived from taxi driving. His presbytery hasn’t shown him the expected ministry care. Pray that he would get a full time position at a church.
Chiapas Bible Institute should be on our knees, too. Pastor Jose is doing his best to get more students and upraise them with the Word. There are 5 new students in Tocob campus. Pray that God’s Spirit would move on that institution.
Amigos Sin Frontera (Medical brigade) targets to reach out Durango State on their upcoming brigade in late February. May they get all the needs to accomplish this upcoming missions. We will not join them this time.
Thanks in advance for your time and effort praying for God’s mission in Mexico.
