Back in Yuma






March 25 & 26, 2009
The new church in Nayarit was finished enough for us to dedicate it last night. We had a very nice ceremony with many in attendance. The community and even locals from Delta were there to pray with us and to hear a review from those who built the church. We filled the church, and also had people standing in the back and outside.
Don told us that 80% of the children that attended VBS were from unchurched families. One prayer request for this church is that the men of the community will be drawn to the Lord & will be attending church with their families.
We went back to the Narayit this morning to finish a few things on the new church, and the parsonage, which was the old church. When we got back to Delta to pack, eat lunch, and say our goodbyes, we were surprised with a going away party from the friends we made while staying there. They decorated with balloons, streamers, fancy table cloths, and made us a huge sign on the wall that read, “Thank you for sharing your love with us.” We were so surprised! It was tough to say goodbye, but we were encouraged to know that the Lord’s will was done, and that we were able to touch lives in the way that we did.
Thank you for your prayers! They are so much more than appreciated! Dios le Bendiga (God Bless You!)
