Retreat

Hey, all! Just a quick note to let you know that Jon is feeling worlds better. He told me yesterday he feels like a new man! Praise the Lord for that, right? Summer and I are about to head out the door. At last check, there were between 70-75 people signed up for the retreat. Please keep praying!! It's going to be great! I'll post pictures on Monday, most likely.
Thanks again for the prayers!

Another prayer request

Along the lines of my post yesterday, Jon starting getting sick to his stomach this morning and also has a fever! PLEASE PRAY that he gets better, not just for this weekend, but he has several speaking engagements throughout the week as well. Pray that the Lord gives him rest right now and that this afternoon he wakes up with no pain and a renewed strength for the rest of his time here. I'm so thankful that I know there will be people praying for this within the hour. Thanks again, as always!!

Prayer Request - Retreat

This is just a short note to ask for prayer cover for this weekend. We are having our annual church retreat Friday, Sept. 29 through Sunday, October 1. Please be in prayer for this time. The theme this year is 'Caminando en La Fe' (Walking in Faith), based out of Ephesians. We've had to change speakers three times already because of scheduling conflicts and I must admit that I'm a little scared to mention who we currently have for fear that it will change again before Friday! Actually, the way we met our current speaker is totally a God thing. His name is Jon Syrbe and he is only here in Morelia for two weeks teaching seminars in public schools on the value of life. He has an amazing testimony of what God has done and is doing in his life and we are excited about the entire church getting to hear him. I would explain to you how we met him, but I'm not even sure how the story goes. I'll get the full explanation this weekend, I promise.
Also, there are a couple of people who have expressed interest in getting baptized this weekend at the retreat. Please pray that the Lord takes away whatever obstacle the enemy may put in the way and that we will be able to rejoice together in the new births the Lord is bringing about. As you're praying, also ask for no rain and good weather the entire time. And pray for all of the participants. Pray that the Lord will use this time to touch their hearts and draw them closer to Him. We are so thankful to have the opportunity to spend this weekend together and are excited about what God has in store.
Thanks again for your prayers!!

Website

Kudos to Ann on her first ever blog post! I know you all look forward to hearing more from her in the future.
This is just a short update to let you know that the church here has a new website which you can check out here or click on the link on the sidebar. It's all in spanish, so it may test your español a bit, but it will be good practice for you. : ) Or, like my mom, you can just look at the pictures.
Also, I think most of you know this by now, but Summer and I are heading to Texas on furlough on October 10th and we'll be there until the end of the year. We would love to touch base with as many of you as possible while we are there, so if you want us to schedule a meal with you, just post a comment here with a way for us to contact you and we will find a place to fit you in.
Thanks, as always, for your prayers on behalf of the work here. I will post more on the church front in a few days, so keep checking!
