A Wedding
Whew! Things have been busy around here. Bro. Terry Jones, my director from BIMI, came down to Mexico to preach a revival in my church and an organization service for my son-in-law. During the revival, we had a wedding ceremony for Jorge and Griselda. They have lived together for close to 9 years and have four children. In the last year, they have been saved and baptized and have been growing spiritually in our church. This wedding ceremony was a beautiful thing to see and I feel privileged to be a part of their lives!
A Revival
Bro. Terry preached the beginning of the revival with heart stirring messages. We had services Friday through Tuesday night. Due to some health issues, the end of the revival was preached by a young man from another local Baptist church. He didn't know he was going to preach that night, but when I asked him to preach for us, he was ready. The message he preached was one that went right along with what Bro. Terry had started with and the Lord had His hand in it all. We had special music every night. Some of our people have never been in special meetings like this and it was a joy to have the fellowship and God working through each one of us. We had some visitors come through, even a dog! You just never know who is going to show up!
...And a Soul Saved!
An elderly man had visited a few nights and one night, he brought his grandson. He said he wanted to bring his grandson to get saved. After speaking with him, I felt in my heart that the grandson did not fully understand the message of salvation and was not ready. The man came another night and came forward after the service so he himself could be saved. Now, he was ready and said he couldn't wait to talk to someone and get his eternity settled in Heaven. What a way to end a Revival!!! I was so excited!
After the Revival service at my church, we had an organization service at La Iglesia Bautista Ortega where my son-in-law is pastoring. My grandson leads the singing over there. I keep offering to pay him to come work in my church, but his parents aren't too accommodating!
I helped start that church over 20 years ago and it has had it's bumps in the road. In the last year and a half, I've had to make some changes in the church and this was a
re-dedication of sorts for this work. John has a good group of people working with him and will soon be looking for a national to take over the work.
