June 2010Dear Friends and Family,
We all have dreams about what we want to accomplish in different ways in life. Many times these are the very things that we think about, talk about, and then live for. Well, in a similar way we have desires of what we want to accomplish as believers and as a church. One of these areas is to evangelize others—simply to be able to share with them the good news about what Jesus Christ has for them.
Bethany—who has been pastoring the young people over the last four years—made an emphasis in this area of evangelism this year, when she took the young people to an event in Zamora “Potencia al Máximo”
(Maximum Potential). They do this event with the intent of preparing the young people to evangelize on the street. Of course, part of that vision is to return and get the young people and others involved in street evangelism.Things were rolling regarding this evangelism in May and June. Bethany asked adults from the congregation to get involved as well. Provision was made to reach the children with a special class at their level. The places that were chosen to evangelize coincided with areas where we had cell groups—to provide follow-up.
Without a doubt this would have an effect on people's lives. They told me
that many left their names and addresses to receive a visit at a later date. One cell group that reached out to another area as a result of this evangelism. Our hats off to all who participated in this outreach!Pray for:
Those who received the Lord as a result of this evangelism.
Those who became open to consider Christianity—faith in the Lord.
For the evangelism to continue.
May God's blessings be on you and multiply what you have given. Thanks for praying for us, and also for being partners together. Dave & Becci
P.S. Want some excitement? Here is a lady in her seventies, who was also “run over” by a car about two years ago and recovered, getting baptized in the ocean![Pictures top to bottom]
