July - Sept 2020 Report (from the field)

 September, 2020

 Hello my Brothers.

Is has been a while since the last news from the work down here. It's a blessing to write this good news, with new fruit.

I will go area by area. 

Simon

He is doing a very good job. I was there meeting with Him to see how the ministry can be of help and the next step of what to do.

Right now he and team, have already evangelized 8k children, his goal is 10k for this year. We believe he will complete the proposed goal. 

Due to the effective work he is doing the denomination with which he is partnering with, has opened a new division so the children's need can be met and Pastor Simon is leading this team of 4 teachers and 15 pastors that together will implement this new method of teaching children. This my friend in Jesus, is very good news because he is seen right now the fruits of his hard labor.

They are safe, this oldest son, Adoniran (nickname captain obedience) is helping them with everything, at some point the ministry helped in his education to be a teacher. Now he wants to be a pastor like his father.

My friends, this is amazing for us, to see how new fruit is growing and taking their place in God's world as warriors of Jesus. It is just amazing how God works and how He places every piece in His master plan.

Also, they make a face mask with the colors to evangelize people (see the picture in the link)

Yellow: heaven

Black: sin of men

Red: Jesus died for us

White: Jesus cleans from our sin

Green: grow up by reading the Bible and be His disciple.

Bernabe:

He did a trip to Bongo which is 24 hours hiking for them, for us will be 2 days, from his home in Raton.

Bernabe reports that all in bongo are mama tata, but they are very open to hear the Good News of Jesus. He held a service where around 25 people showed up. They requested him to come more often, they also helped him carry everything he needed to be there The film equipment will be sent to him, so He can present the Jesus film in this place. This place they just heard about Jesus but no one has taught about our Savior.

Also, Bernabe has been in Hacha, a place where there is a church but no pastor. To start a Bible discipleship, there are around 15 people enrolled to take receive it, to be a future pastor in this area. Bernabe already finished with balsa this discipleship, where before wasn't a pastor and now they have one as a result of the discipleship program. We pray that the same may happen in Hacha, that God raises up a new leader for them, that can keep the good work growing.

When Bernabe was in Hacha a family accepted Jesus, I will share the testimony of it. There is a couple, the husband was a Christian but his wife was mama tata. His wife, always that her husband would bring a Bible she would reap it and burned it, beaches of this he went away from the Lord. Well, on this trip, Bernabe talked to the wife, who accepted Jesus, and then the husband reconciled with Jesus, now both are followers of Jesus. The name of the husband is Roberto.

Mateo:

The ministry has a project of building a new house of prayer in one place call Daira 2, where we have been working for some years now together with a partner church (Crossridge Church). A piece of land that has a more or less kind of building was donated, we do not have the pictures of the place yet, but it has a roof, and around 25 people have been meeting in this place for months now. Those that come for every meeting want a church building in that place, the youth ministry and the Pastor from Guabal (mother church) will take care of that place.

In these hard times, the work of Jesus has not stopped, the work to reach out to the loss continues. 

Please the only thing that our missionaries ask this time is to pray for health, so they can continue to take the good news in these dark areas.

Thank you so much for the prayers and support provided.  May our Lord keep you and guard you, may He make His face shine upon you.
