Outreach in La Loma



Here is the view from our car as we drive down the street in front of La Loma UNIFAM (United Families in Christ) Church, and then head our way home. We are so excited to be in worship with our Mexican brothers and

sisters who live in this area! La Loma church will be celebrating her 13th anniversary at the end of this month and they are planning a special outreach up and down these same streets. Nick will be giving a small concert as a part of the celebration. The church is also involved in Mexi Kids, a weekly outreach that provides a meal three days a week to children and their mothers. This is a church that doesn't intend to sit still and watch the world go by! We are really looking forward to becoming more involved with La Loma and the vision of our Mexican brothers and sisters for sharing the Good News of hope in Jesus throughout this coming year.

Prayer requests:
1. Please pray for La Loma church, Pastor Miguel and the church leadership. They have a vision to begin planting house churches in this new year. Please join us in fervent prayer for this area.
2. Pray for Nick as he goes out with church planting teams. Pray he can find his way around this city, for fruitful ministry and for safety. Pray for further opportuniites for him to use his musical ability to shared the Gospel.
3. Pray for Lisa as she prepares to teach a sociology course at the seminary. Pray for an increase in Spanish ability to be able to teach well. Pray we will learn how to apply God's truth to bring change into this world.
4. Pray for Hannah and Samuel to be healthy and strong, to grow daily in the Lord and to be a blessing here.
5. Pray for growth in the number of students in the Sembimex seminary, especially the daytime classes.
6. Pray for innovative ways to take seminary classes to the people, so more and more leaders can be trained.
7. Pray that the established churches will be thriving outposts for evangelism, training, and planting house churches, helping UNIFAM to reach its goal of 2 million house churches by 2025.
8. Pray for unity to be stronger than ever this year, that by our unity people will know the power and love of Christ.
9. Pray the existing house churches will be able to multiply, with new leaders being discipled and sent out to plant even more churches.
10. Pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in all of Mexico.

Thank you so much for your prayers! We rely on them daily.
