Praise the Lord for the growth of those involved in our discipleship program. Maritza has been coming with her mentor, but this week she showed up on her own! It's a small thing perhaps, but she does not drive. That means she had to find someone to bring her instead of making excuses for not being able to come.
Victor is my (Bill's) pupil. He eagerly awaits our time together every Monday morning. He would gladly meet a second day, but my schedule is a bit tight right now. His comments during our studies are as refreshing as a young child's short sentences. There is obvious growth, and his wife reports that they study the Word together at home, and she has found him studying on his own. He even goes to the trouble of looking up every verse in the upcoming lesson and writing down the page number where the verse is found in his Bible! Such extra effort is not often found in long-time believers.
We also have a group of people who wish to be baptized. We are trying to wait a bit so that some in discipleship students will be able to be baptized as well. Our baptismal services are held in the surf of the ocean, usually on a Sunday afternoon. We look forward to these special times of praise and worship surrounded by our Lord's marvelous handiwork. Pray with us for the continued progress of all the new converts (Maritza, Victor, Mandy, and Nelson).
