We will observe the Lord’s Supper this Sunday night and it will be a special service. Matías, one of the young men training in the ministry, will be leading the Lord’s Supper. This will be the first time he has ever done so, and it will be the first time anyone other than myself has led in the Lord’s Supper. Pray with us that the service Sunday evening is a blessing to our church and to Matías.

We will have our annual Family Conference next week. Missionary Shawn Bateman will be preaching the conference. This is always a special time for our church family. Pray that God uses the conference to strengthen families!

Another New Ministry!

As we think back on the ministry in August, two things come to mind. We were able to start a new ministry! We also had a COVID scare that caused us to go back to online services for over a week. Thankfully we were able to go back to in-person services. The new ministry is a women’s prayer meeting on Tuesday afternoons. Leslie and two ladies in the church are leading this ministry. It is a great blessing and ladies in the church are very encouraged. Each Tuesday, the ladies are meeting to share prayer requests and pray for our ministries, the men training in the ministry, the church services, families in the church, and for lost loved ones and friends. God is going to bless this great ministry!

We are very excited about September! We are going to be going back to having our evening services again! We will start out with a special series on how to share your faith. We will also have our Family Conference. This has been a blessing each year we have had it. Pray with us that God will work in this conference! The last service of the conference is a special evangelistic service. Pray with us that we see souls saved! Thank you for praying for us and Faith Baptist Church. 

Serving Together,

Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry

God has given us men that are training to be in the ministry. Gabriel (one of the men) preached his first 10 minute sermon last night! He did a wonderful job preaching Romans 1:16, I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ! Eric, another one of the young men, taught the Bible Study, teaching the church about Lamentations. It also was a great blessing! Matías will be preaching at our youth service tonight, and Brian, another one of the young men training, will be preaching the morning service on Sunday. Each of these men are a great blessing to the church. Pray with us that God use each Bible message to encourage and strengthen the church.

We have been very blessed to have a church building! Faith Baptist Church has its own building to worship, hold services, discipleship classes, and all of our other ministries! We have been working on the buildings and church property since the day we bought it. We have seen great progress over the past two years. Something we have never had is a platform for the pulpit. There were a few reasons for this, including the need to move an exterior door from the center of the wall behind the pulpit (or close to the center) to the right side of the wall. Over the past two weeks, the door has been moved and a platform has been built! The men in the church have been at work with all of this. Tomorrow we will be constructing a set of stairs. In the midst of the planning for tomorrow (Saturday), the work day has turned into a work-day/grill-out, or what we call, “an asado” (which sounds great to me!). So tomorrow we will be having a special men’s fellowship and we will enjoy a delicious lunch while we work on the stairs for the platform!

This Sunday will be the first Sunday we will preach from this platform! It will not be totally completed, but it will be good enough to use. Thank you for praying for us!
