Super Sunday

We attend a few churches in the area, but because they are planting a church they occasionally have a community fellowship time. We are going to being hosting these in our home twice a month. Anyone is welcome to attend, members of the team and any Puerto Ricans that we know. We worship together through song, prayer and an informal time of discussing a portion of scripture. Afterward we grilled hot dogs and visited. It's a new and fun for us to experience since we're so used to participating in established churches. Please pray for the community of believers here -that they would be united and that many would be added to their number from people in the area.

The same day Jason and I had the privilege of Holland staying to play. Through this we learned how children can really help in ministry. He wanted to go and meet the children that were riding their bikes in the neighborhood. They only spoke Spanish and were somewhat hesitant at first. As usual with children though, by the end they were all riding together and talking to us. We were able to meet their parents. It's just one more relationship that we were able to build. Jovanka is their mother and speaks good English and the children are Tatiana and Jeovante.

Please pray for more opportunities to talk with these neighbors and that the Garcia's (owner's of the house we live in) would have favor in their eyes when they return through our investment in them. Jason also met a guy named Santiago that was working on his car in the driveway. They found that they had similar interests and Jason hopes to have the opportunity to talk with him again. Just a little example of how naturally we can reach out to those that God has already placed around us if we'll just be watching.
