지난 바자를 통해 얻은 수익과 헌금은 멕시코 치아파스에 위치한 익투스 초중고 학생들에게 직접 전달 됐습니다. 총 10명의 아이들이 깜짝 장학금을 받았는데요. 아파서 학교에 나오지 못한 고등학생 한명을 제외하고는 모두 직접적으로 장학금을 받아 갔습니다.

아래 여섯번째 사진에 할아버지와 온 학생은 엄마가 암에 걸려서 같이 오질 못했습니다. 힘들고 어려운 환경에서도 열심히 공부하는 학생들에게 지속적인 관심과 기도 부탁드립니다.

바자에 참여하신 모든분들과 관심을 가지고 기도하며 동참하시는 모든 분들께 감사 인사드립니다.

그동안 코로나로 인해 커피 바자 및 각종 모임들을 못해오다가 올해 처음으로 다시 바자를 시작했습니다.

지난 토요일인 3월 22일 오전 10시부터 오후 4시까지 공동체 공간으로 열어 커피와 땅콩, 김치, 고기만두, 김치만두, 해물파전과 녹두전을 판매했는데 많은 분들이 오셔서 동참해 주셨습니다.

오랫만에 열어서 사람들이 올까 걱정했었는데 다행이 많은 분들이 다시 찾아 주셨습니다. 음식 판매 뿐 아니라 선교와 장학 헌금으로 동참해 주신 많은 분들께 너무나 감사 드립니다. 앞으로 몇번 더 열어 함께 모일 수 있는 소중한 시간들을 만들도록 하겠습니다.

감사합니다.

“19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. “ Ephesians 3:19-21

IGLESIA REFORMADA SOLA GRACIA
First, we appreciate your prayers and we were able to have our conference with the theme of “The Church” in the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez. The Lord in his mercy provided us to rent a comfortable and spacious room. We host speakers from the United States and nearly 30 pastors and ministry leaders from local and surrounding cities. We had the joy of receiving brothers from Guanajuato, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, San Cristóbal and other places. We are very grateful to the Lord for allowing us to bring healthy growing in the Word for the churches of the Mexican Southeast.

One of the speakers, Pastor Randall Easter wrote a summary of the conference in the following words: “It would be impossible to express how well the conference went. The relationships, the joy, the laughter, the friendship, the tears, the prayers, the singing, the thunder of the gospel, and the only phrase I could use is: It was a little taste of heaven. It is the climax of joy for me to be able to preach to a people who have a true
desire to hear the word of God.”

PENETRATING THE DARKNESS MINISTRY.
Every Thursday I am preaching in the women’s house of the ministry while also every week from Monday to Wednesday, other brothers preach the gospel in the men’s house. The Lord allows the ministry with the indigents of Chiapas to continue and the Lord continues in his faithfulness by providing food, medicine and everything necessary to assist almost 200 people in their homes. His fidelity is amazing. Within a couple of months, the Lord willing, we will be receiving as members of the church 7 people who are leaders of the Penetrating the Darkness ministry. We are very grateful to the Lord for that.

CHIHUAHUA.
We were also able to have a refreshing time visiting my family in the north of the country and at the same time visit beloved brothers in the state whom we had not seen in almost 20 years. We are glad to reconnect with them and be able to pray better for them and their churches.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. Please pray that our church will continue to grow in adherence to the Word and bearing witness to Christ everywhere.
2. Pray for the network of pastors whom the Lord has brought us together as we seek to honor Christ through strict adherence to the Word. There are already several churches in the Southeast of Mexico and others in Central America. We pray that the Lord strengthen us and help us to remain faithful.
3. Pray for the fruit in the churches that were participants in the last Conference. May the Lord bring fruit for his glory from all the effort made.
4. But please also pray for healthy churches in the Word to be formed in the following states of our country: Guanajuato, Veracruz, Tabasco, Chiapas and in Mexico City, places from where we will receive visitors.
5. Please pray for the work in Ecuador. That through Pastor Julio and his team we can establish a teaching and edification plan for local leaders. May it be the Lord guiding everything so that his Word spreads and is glorified in that country. There has been no progress on this yet. But we really believe that it is necessary for the Quechua churches of Ecuador to be taught in the gospel of Christ.
6. Pray for every pastor and worker in the Altos de Jalisco region in the same way.
7. Pray that the Lord will raise up more workers to work in his Sola Gracia church here in Chiapas. In two months we will again have the opportunity for the church to recognize more officers to join the ministry.
8. Pray for strength and grace for each of the servants of the Piercing the Darkness Ministry. They spend 24 hours a day taking care of people with problems in their mental faculties and they need to take care of them, clean them, feed them, heal them and much more. Only the Lord can give our brothers the ability, the strength and the patience to do this every day all the time, year after year.
9. Pray for the migrants from Algodonera especially for those who have joined the church. Three weeks ago they closed the doors to us to preach in the cotton field because the authorities were changed, as well as their protocols. We ask for your prayers so that through the mediation of some people we know, they can receive us again to proclaim Christ.
   Thank you for joining this ministry team through intercession!
