A quick update on what’s been going on through my eyes:

When Bekah and got here we saw a need for deeper growth from within the body at El Puente (the mission base and church that we work with). From our experience with our faith family, our walk changed when we joined a small group. We grew deep in our relationships together and our spiritual growth. We began to serve our city together.

We expressed our desire to see the church at El Puente implement small groups (grupos pequeños) to the base leader and he thought it was a great idea. Last week we hosted a small group leader dinner at our house with the intention of telling people about small group leadership opportunities. 25 people came and we had some of the best shepherd’s pie in the world. It was a big success and the next day we had several people step up to lead a small group.

It’s been amazing to see this actually happen. It has now gained its own momentum. To see God working so clearly has been so refreshing and encouraging. Frankly, working with addicts and alcoholics 24/7 can wear you out (we’re a lot of work!) so to be involved with other ministries has been good for me.

We’ve also begun to really seek God and ask him about our future when our time here is up at the end of August. Please join us in praying for discernment and guidance from God.
