2007 March Prayer Guides
Mexico before God ...
Praise
Spring is around the corner. But it feels like summer here in the city of Eternal Spring. Wherever we go we are pleased to see beautiful colors of bugambilia flower.
Dr. Rene Padilla was in town and blessed churches with studies on holistic missions. Participants have been challenged to do more than what they’ve been doing and search for what they could do even more.
A long-time awaited babyboy was born to Cesario & Maria Guillen last month. They are glad to have this blessing following four girls. Cesario is undecided how to name him. He is flipping over scouring all the genealogies in the Bible. He wants to name him with a biblical name. Any idea? What about "Jairo," which means joy?
Prayer
Emmanuel Presbytery will launch, after 2 years recess, its seminary by extension program to train their lay leaders. On March 3 they will have the opening service. Abe & 3 national pastors will serve the first 3 months as instructors. It will be every Saturday at a church in Temixco.
March 4. El Nazareno RPC will have a special morning service for pastoral transition (leave pastor Julio and pastor Jose Luis in). The afternoon service will be a commission service of the Garcia (Pastor Samuel & Ester Garcia, RPCM pastor) who will soon depart to Morocco on March 6. Please pray for their safe trip to and smooth settle down in this Muslim country.
March 5. Abe will lead monthly breakfast meeting with pastors and study together in Temixco. Pastor Julio will host us.
March 11-14. Abe will travel to Chiapas for Chiapas Bible Institute. In Tocob center, he will teach leadership class.
March 18. Abe will preach at Emanuel NPCM. This church has been without preacher more than a year. Every Sunday the church has had guest preachers. Pray that they will find a good pastor-preacher.
March 25. Abe will preach at Bethel NPCM. This church has been a key church in the city. Pastor Alex Loya submitted resignation letter and his term will be terminated by June 07. May the church find a good mission-minded pastor. The church is moving into that direction. Meanwhile pastor Alex is in a special ministry with professionals.
Brother Cho (a Korean student of Univ. of Estado de Morelos) has been discipleship course with Abe. We could tell the divine will in bringing him to Cuernavaca and had us meet him. Praise God for the growth in him.
Continue to pray for Abe & Elaine’s teaching duty (Missiology, Institutions, & Evangelism II) at Reformed Theological Seminary in DF.
Esdras Concepcion (a seminary graduate who lives in Palenque, Chiapas) has been called to pastor Tenosique RPCM. May his service be real blessing to the church and his family to grow in the Spirit.
Amigos Sin Frontera (Medical brigade) reports another great ministry in Durango State. It was a long and tough travel to and from and in between. Life up all those who met Jesus through this ministry.
Thanks for your concern and care with prayer. In abundant blessings.
