2011 August Prayer Concert
We had a wonderful time in Carillo Puerto, Q. Roo leading God's Image seminar. We've faced a number of obstacles before and during the event which led us to disappointment. But through TcD morning devotions, God has lifted us up and encouraged us with a word of hope to minister 41 participants, especially pastors and leaders of the Zacil-Be Presbytery. Most of them gave testimonies of their experiences of healing and recharging for better and healthy ministry.
On our way back we drove into Chiapas' Chol country along with a work team from Los Angeles Christian Presbyterian Church (CA). We are thankful for their dedicated and fruitful ministries (Medical brigade, VBS, haircut, and family photos) to our churches in Chiapas. Our dear brother Cesario and Maria (Palenque) seem to working out for a better marriage relationship after a year long struggles. May the Spirit of God be poured upon them so richly!
Please pray for the following activities in the month of August.
1. July 31: Filadelfia NPC will celebrate its 50th anniversary and Abe will be preaching. This is the key church in Cuernavaca for her historical tradition.
