Pastoral duties

Some pastoral duties are more fun than others. Here's Mike attending Lady Plaza's music program at school.

Recent Baños Trip

Two weeks ago, P. Mike and Enrique went to Baños. They usually have ten to twelve people come out to the Bible studies. Some highlights recently have been new believers going out evangelizing and new visitors to almost every Bible study.

Drug Rehab Ministry

The ministry in the Women's section of the drug rehab clinic is going well. Maria Burbano and Carmen Sotomayor from our church go faithfully every week. While Olimpia is in Europe, one of our elders has been teaching, but recently Maria taught for the first time--ever--and loved it! We shopped with her last night for an interactive discipleship resource that she can use with the women--finally deciding on the Navigators series.

Quick Newslets

• Mike and Eduardo returned early this morning from Banos. They spent a lot of time investing into people they'd met and had some first time visitors at the Bible Study. The regulars were asking them to come every week saying that they have a lot of questions and a great need for teaching.
• Bible College is finishing up on Saturday for the semester break. Thanks P. Mike, Eduardo, and Olimpia for teaching those classes.
• P. Mike and Sue are off for the states on Saturday. They'll be there for two months visiting family, going to the GGWO Missionary Conference, visiting churches and Mike will be officiating in the wedding of Mary Cromwell in Annapolis, Md.

Olimpia's Adieu

Olimpia went to England and Romania for the summer with plans to return in July or August. We miss her much even though it's only for a few months. Here are photos of the elders praying for a safe trip for her and of an impromptu drama: Charlie's Angels.

Banos Outreach

The Banos Outreach is going well. Twice a month, Mike and a few others are visiting and evangelizing and having Bible Studies.
