Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support dropped to 57.8% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 100% of our budget—our Lord IS faithful..!
* On January 26th we officially launched our discipleship program Deep Faith and are now offering it to the church at large. This is the first ministry that is being run entirely without me. Thank You, Father, for allowing me to see the sheep making disciples on their own.!!
* On February 7th Karla and I, along with another couple from our church, had the blessing to assist a marriage conference led by Carlos Casco at Gracia Calvary Chapel.
* On February 10th our unborn child, Adrian Enrique, was diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia. Thankfully, the eco-cardiogram performed by a cardiologist showed a complete and otherwise healthy heart. The doctor said to not worry about it, that it may just go away in time as the heart continues to grow… We are praying for a steady heartbeat in his next checkup.
* This month the Lord has rekindled our ties with the local Christian Surfers ministry as my sons and I started surfing ourselves. We are looking forward to further develop our involvement with this ministry to reach the ever-growing surfing community with the gospel of the grace of God!
Online Outreach Stats (January, 2015):
