This Sunday is another special Sunday. We will be hosting our first missionary. Jairo is the product of the ministry of Jeff Bush (my missions director). Jairo is an Argentine who will be going to Morocco as a missionary. He will presenting his ministry at Faith Baptist Church on Sunday night. This will be our first missionary! The people who attend the church will have the opportunity to meet a missionary and see that God can use them to reach others as well. God is so good to us to give us this opportunity!

We have been hosting free English classes the past two weeks. God has used the classes to bring 3 different families to visit the church! One lady who visited us last Sunday heard a message about salvation. She came up to me after English class on Tuesday. She asked me to tell her more about salvation. We are now trying to schedule a day when we can go to her house and explain salvation to her and her family. Please pray that God will use this to work in their hearts and that they will believe on Jesus and be saved. 

This Sunday is our child dedication service. We are very excited about this day. Sunday is a national holiday here, “Kid’s Day”. We are making this an opportunity to emphasize the importance of raising our children for Jesus. Thus far we have 9 children that will be dedicated to the Lord this Sunday. One family that will be dedicating their little one is from our English classes we have been teaching! We should have a great number of people at this service. Please pray with us that God will work in the hearts of all who attend. This is a huge day for us! Thank you for praying.

This weekend really starts tonight. Tonight we have our Friday night youth service. We already have young people that have told us they are coming! Tomorrow we will have outreach visitation and after visitation we will be hosting English classes. We are not here to teach English, but we are using this in hopes to bring more people into the church that may never enter through the doors otherwise. We had our first class on last Tuesday and had a small group of people and tomorrow we have several who have contacted us and told us they will be attending. Please be praying for these events.

We have a big day coming up this month on August 19. It is “Kid’s Day” here (yes, we have a Kid’s Day just like a Mother’s Day and Father’s Day). Thus far, we have two families who will be dedicating children to the Lord. They will have their families in attendance as well, many of which are lost. Please pray with us about this special day.
