Kick-Off Breakfast

On Saturday our church held a "kick-off" breakfast to start the new year of MOPS (Mothers of Pre-schoolers) and our "Women in Growth" group. I praise God for this awesome event. We had over 120 women in attendance - and well, I will let the following pictures tell the rest of the story...
Above a photo of the women in attendance at the breakfast. Below, notice all of the empty seats? That is because women who prayed to accept Jesus for the first time during the breakfast were asked to get up and meet in some of the classrooms! More than half of those in attendance gave their lives to Jesus! It was AWESOME!

Above is a photo of this years MOPS leadership team. Please pray for us as we seek to reach more women and share with them how they can live an abundant life with Jesus as their Lord and Savior!

Training

Alexis and Christian are at OMS Headquarters receiving some great training on church planting movements.  Please pray for our National Church and Missionaries as we implement the principles of multiplication in Mexico.  We have the sense that the we may be on the edge of explosion and revival!!  Pray that we will have a plentiful harvest as we train trainers in the upcoming year.  The new plan for multiplication will be implemented as soon as next month!  

Pray for the fruition of II Timothy 2:2, "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others."

A real sense of unity...

We praise God for three days of awesome meetings for the national church here in Mexico (called UNIFAM). The annual meeting serves to bring together members from each church, pastors, and church planting workers in an effort to discuss the upcoming year, to vote on pending issues and to report on ministry from the previous year. Several people who have participated for many years said they believe this was the best meeting ever as there was an incredible sense of unity! We praise God for the way He is working to create real synergy amongst those involved in ministry here.
