The Lord blessed us in the ministries this weekend!  We had 25 kids in our kids club!  It is so good to see them come even during their summer vacation.  We are praying for these children and their parents to be saved! Please pray with us!  We praise the Lord for bringing 2 visitors to this morning’s services! Also, she came back this evening with two of her sons and her daughter!  On Sunday mornings we are preaching through Philippians on Striving Together and in our evening studies we have started a discipleship series.  Please continue to pray for the work here!

This morning in our kid’s club the kids were surprised by gifts given to them from the Salem Missionary Baptist Church!  The kids were so excited to be getting things from the U.S.!  Thank you to the children, Sunday school classes and all of Salem M.B.C. (Grayson, Ky.) for thinking of these children and for all the things you sent in the goody bags.  For most children in the U.S. the things that were in the bags would mostly be taken for granted but these kids loved it all!

This morning for our morning services we had our chocolatada. Doing a chocolatada involves giving out hot chocolate, some sort of bread (usually panetone), and a gift.  (Rebecca made nearly 70 cupcakes and 10 liters of hot chocolate!)  We decided to do ours on Sunday this year and invite the children’s parents to come.  The kids sang a verse of 3 different Christmas carols and some of them read the story of Jesus’ birth from Luke 2, and still others read an acrostic for NAVIDAD (Christmas).  The Lord blessed us with a great day and we are praising Him!  We had about a great group of people at church this morning!  About 35 of those were children and we had around 20 adults.  We praise the Lord for bringing 10 of the children’s parents and 2 of those were dad’s!  It was a crazy morning but well worth it!  We were able to preach (briefly) on the Jesus being the true gift of Christmas and present the gospel to those there.  Pray with us that these parents will return in the coming weeks!
