Dear Pastor and Praying Friends,

The work keeps getting stronger and stronger!  This past month has been a month of spiritual growth for the people.  I announced to the church that we will have 3 consecutive soul-winning classes.  Each one was on a Saturday.  We have been averaging 8 people in attendance.  This is a wonderful start.  I have given them all the tools that they need to win souls, but there is just one thing impeding them from actually talking to people: fear.  They are very embarrassed to talk to the people, but I know that they will overcome this.  Though they have fear, they are very eager to work more for the Lord.  We have knocked every door in Campamento, but there is still one town close to that we still need to knock.  They are not used to being part of a church that actually evangelizes the people.  Thank God, He has laid out His plan in the Bible for how to grow His church.

There is one area that the church is still lacking and that is tithing.  I want to eventually start a Missions Conference and be able to support missionaries, but first the people need to learn how to tithe.  We invited Bro. Johnny Castro, an evangelist from La Espada, to preach one Sunday about finances.  The people became very encouraged.  I have been preaching on tithing and the people got a stronger burden for it.  Praise the Lord that one person has tithed and I am praying that many more will follow.

Please pray for our property situation.  We are averaging between 60-70 people on a Sunday morning.  We have made a commitment that we will not stop reaching people even if we have no more room.  Our children’s ministry is averaging between 30 and 40 kids on a Sunday morning.  All these services are being done in our house.  Our car has also been breaking down frequently and we are praying for a new car.  We are also praying for mini buses to pick people up.  If your church is looking for a missionary project please prayerfully consider the ministry in Campamento, Honduras.  Thank you for your prayers and support.

Your missionary in Honduras,
Daniel Jacobo
