Spring Stirrings

About 6 weeks ago the Lord took an 85 year old saint to Himself. María came to know her Savior in the final years of her life, but she gave a great testimony to a life redeemed from sin. Most of her family has followed Catholicism just as she did for many years. However, the death of María started something special. One of her believing daughters came back to the island to speak with each member of her family regarding salvation. She and her son saw two family members trust the Lord in the week of their visit. Those who believed brought the rest of the family to our church, and in recent weeks two more have trusted Christ.

We will soon start a discipleship class to instruct each of these new converts. Pray with us for Iris, Ana, Elba, and Virgen as well as other family members who still need to trust Christ for salvation. Jorge is one who needs the Lord. He is 86 years old and is still trusting in his own good works. Pray that the Word which he heard will enlighten him to his true need of a Savior.

Pray also for our school. Our numbers are very low so we need to see the Lord provide students for the upcoming school year. Also pray for Teresa’s recovery from a burn she recently received. It is a first degree burn, but it is on her right foot. The location makes healing problematic.

Nathan is finishing his second semester at Bob Jones and is doing very well. He plans to work at the school this summer, so we probably will not see him until Christmas. Everyone else is doing well, and we thank you for praying for us.
