Please pray for the people. For some of the people, the Christian life was exciting in the beginning. They got saved, baptized, and discipled. But now they are finding it hard to make the next step which is service. In order for them to do this there is a lot that they must change. Some are just content to warm a seat in church. We do have workers, but like the Bible says, “…but the labourers are few.” Please pray for more laborers.
I am excited about the future of the work here. One of our members is one of the plumbers for the city. He is telling me that they are fixing the water system so the town will grow. The mayor is starting to do some things to attract more people. I am excited about this because that would mean the potential to reach more people. We also heard of some property that just came up for sale. It is perfect for what we want to do. We are very thankful that a small group of the people is now catching the vision for the church. We also have a couple from the States will be joining us here in Campamento. Doors are starting to open up for us to preach in the surrounding villages. Please pray for the future of the work. We see a great potential for future of Iglesia Bautista Manahaim. I want to thank each and every one of you that have personally sacrificed for missions and that has prayed for us. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Dear Pastor and Praying Friends,
Merry Christmas! As we are entering December, I am reminding the people why we celebrate Christmas. The center is of everything is Jesus. The people celebrate Christmas on the 24th in Honduras. During this time we see a higher rate of drunks walking the streets. Praise the Lord for Iglesia Bautista Mahanaim, a lighthouse to this dark city. It is amazing to see how much progress the people have made in their spiritual lives.
I am very excited for a young 18 year -old boy named Mario. He was saved in September and last month was baptized. He is currently being discipled and is making great decisions for the Lord. He loves going soul-winning with me every Saturday. He expressed an interest to serve in the church. Mario only has a fourth grade education so studying the Bible is proving to be a little difficult for him, but with the Lord’s help, he can be used greatly. I started discipleship with him on Tuesdays. As I arrived, his whole family was there and we did discipleship in front of the family. Throughout the lesson the family was gathered around us as we studied the Bible. Please pray that we would be able to reach Mario’s family as well.
There is an older lady named Lidia that visited as a result of our soul-winning program. She came up to me at the end of the service and asked me about a Bible. I told her that I would love to talk to her about receiving a Bible. When I visited her, I talked to her about the Lord. At the end of our conversation, she got saved. She wants to bring her adult daughters and their kids to church.
We are praising the Lord for these blessings as well as your part in them. We are averaging around 70 people in our house and still growing. Please pray that the Lord would provide for land and a building. Also pray for a new car as well as buses to pick people up. We would also like to announce that we will be adding to the Jacobo Family. Our third child is due in April. Please pray for my wife and the health of the baby she is carrying.
