An update is in store for the Lomas church. Of all the works we are involved with, this one is not going so well right now. Juvenal, the pastor, and I have been in talks with Bethel Baptist Church with the idea that the Lomas church would become one of its daughter works. Juvenal would become a part-time staff person. Things are moving slowly due to the lack of initiative on Juvenal´s part. I am working with another new church plant of Bethel Baptist called Bethel NW which is seen in the post below this one. Please pray for the following things:
Juvenal´s financial situation that he can find enough work to sustain his family.
Juvenal will take seriously the pastorate and begin visitation on a regular basis.
The times of evangelization that are set for October – December.
The Lord will use Manuel Martinez Sr. , the Sr Pastor of the Bethel Baptist Assoc, as well as myself, to exhort and encourage Juvenal in the wok of the ministry.

I only found out that you had a blog yesterday. Grandma told me. I asked mom about it later and she said “you mean you didn’t know they had a blog?” It’s so nice to read about what you are all up to and to be able to read about your ministry. I really enjoyed seeing your family picture. My cousins are so grown-up! I can’t believe how tall Josh is! It’s fun reading about Alicia playing soccer and Josh playing guitar. Wow, and you moved! You are all so busy! Give everyone hugs and kisses from us!!! We love you!!!
