NEWS LETTER: NOVEMBER 2012

Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support dropped to 72.8% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 100% of our budget—our Lord IS faithful..!

* On October 11th our church enjoyed the teaching of Jonathan Planell, a friend and leader from my home church, Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale. Jonathan and his wife spent ten days here with us. Their company was very refreshing in the Lord.

* On October 27th our church had another successful Christian Rock outreach with Mario Garcia. This time we posted the event in Facebook and resulted in about 1000 people reached with the aroma of Christ in one way or another..!

* On November 3rd we had a Koinonia Night at Alejandro Castro's house. Our church is growing strong as our hearts are being knit together in the love of Christ. "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35

* On November 10th 16 people from our church attended this year's Pastors and Leader's Conference at Gracia Calvary Chapel. There I was given the honor to teach on 2 Corinthians 5 and 6. The Lord led me to teach on the Ministry of Reconciliation. We were all refreshed and challenged by the different expositors that taught the Word of God in this conference. Thank You, Father!
