Osvaldo and Iris

I had the Bible Study with Osvaldo this morning, we are on lesson 9 on the one on won course and I feel that he still does not understand much, pray for Osvaldo that God would open his understanding, Iris is wife is also hearing very intently while she serves us mate!!!, but I come out sometimes sad because he just does not see much yet, but I forget that God is the enlightener of the soul, pray that God would open his eyes to see the need to come to Christ, thanks.

A Special Need!!!

I would like to greet you all who know the Lord. We have a heavenly Father who not only has done many good works on our behalf but has also prepared good works for us to walk in. In this sense I feel as a debtor to my God. But of one thing I am sure that I cannot pay neither should the thought cross my mind, the sacrifice of Gods Son which was given to me in this So Great Salvation, and has made me an heir with Christ in God.
I would like to share my testimony in a brief way.

When I was but 11 years old, I was working on my own to live in this country that offers so little opportunities for people that come from a social situation of poverty, I work to sustain myself and be able to eat each day.

I would sell news papers on the train and I was good at what I did, I would jump off one train and on to the other without any problems.... that trust in my own strength would changed my life drastically ,the 30 of October of 1976 a train would drag the body of a young boy causing him terrible and severe wounds that would leave the young boy in Intensive Care and in a state of unconsciousness for 45 days. When he awoke from that tragedy nothing was the same, my body had been cruelly tortured, my face was disfigured and my leg was amputated, I did not know myself, I did not have any strength to go on, my body was now incomplete, but this was Gods Plan for my life, and today is how I understand this. God had mercy to take away my physical strength and make me realize I am nothing, and that I needed to depend on him. As I look back it was so little what I had lost and so great what I had gained, 6 years after my accident I heard about Christ and I came to know him as my Savior, I continue to be poor physically but at the same time rich in the Lord, slow physically but will one day have a transformed body, and we all who know Christ have this hope of a new body, a heavenly home!!!

I lack a leg, but now I have Christ, and this is the greatest gain that a man or a woman can desire. God has done me good and this good consist in living and knowing him and keeping his Word!!!


A word from me, Colby Holmes...if any of you have a orthopedic leg you would like to donate to our brother Nestor contact me at my phone or address on the blogg. He has need of a new leg, thanks so much.

Our Youth

Be praying for Daniel, this young man who is coming to the meetings but yet has not made a profesion of faith, Benjamin our son also has two of his friends from school coming to youth group, but they both dont know Christ.

Pray for out teens that they might have a desire for Glorifying God in there lives and not seeking there own, we would like to see more desire in them for the things of the Lord...

Pray that they might desire to witness to their friends, and also that they might seek the Lord and seek to honor Him and his Word.
