August Ministry Update

STUDENT MINISTRY  Our Student Ministry has officially begun and we have been very busy but having so much fun working with these students, their families and our community here at the TX-Mex border.  In the month of August, we had our "Parent's Meeting", took the kids to a Christian music concert, had our first "Man Cave" (a guys-only time of fellowship) and "Shine" (a girls-only time of fellowship), held our first "5th Quarter" after the first home football game for our town and we are holding a Contemporary Worship service each Sunday morning geared toward our students.

TEACHING & DISCIPLESHIP One of our main goals in working with these students is that they get a good Biblical foundation, understand what being a Christian means, and fully equip them to be able to share their faith with others.  To help accomplish these goals, are using "Explore the Bible" on Sunday mornings and are leading them on a book-by-book journey through scripture so that they understand each book of the Bible, the context in which it was written, and what they can learn from it.  Wednesday nights their class is "Biblical Foundations" focused on teaching them the essential truths of the Christian faith in a simple and life-changing way.  We also have 9 students who are currently taking a 13-week Discipleship program for students every Sunday afternoon.  It is our desire that the students that come through our ministry, be firm in their beliefs, equipped to share the gospel with others, and ready to be disciplemakers wherever God leads them in the world.

Partner With Us We appreciate the cards, texts, and emails you send our way.  Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean so very much to our family.  It is so refreshing and encouraging to go to the mailbox and find a card or care package.  We truly appreciate each of you who remember us. We are still partially funded by missionary support. We appreciate those of you who so generously give to help support our family.  If you would like to help support our family as we continue serving in ministry and missions here at the Tex-Mex border, you may send your support to:   First Baptist Church 300 E. Ocean Blvd. Los Fresnos, TX 78566 You can either write on the check that it is for our family or attach a note to let them know the money is designated for us.

Prayer Requests:  Please continue to pray for our students and their families.  Many of our students come from homes where they are the only believer. Pray for open doors for us to be able to witness to these families and for our students to be bold in sharing their faith with their families. Please continue to pray for us as we minister here in Los Fresnos that the Lord will lead and guide our every action.    Pray that the Lord will continue to supply our needs as we continue mission work and ministry here at the TX-Mex border.
