As a church we have once again begun the Biblical Ministry School (BMS). We are beginning the Bible courses by working through the great confessions of faith throughout the history of the Church. Currently there are 15 brothers in the classes as they seek to prepare for the ministry, and our hope is that this school will deepen and strengthen the convictions of future leaders of the local church. Every Monday we are meeting to study for two and half hours, while the other days of the week we are busy visiting the believers in their homes and carrying out individual discipleship.

This month we also went to visit and encourage a church in the town of Santa Cruz, which is where the late Pastor Angel Colmenares was raised. This church is very small and they have asked our church to come alongside and help them in evangelism from house to house, and also to help teach them biblical doctrine. We will continue serving these brothers and sisters in love to God and His Gospel that has been entrusted to us. Please pray for Pastor Miguel and Brother Andy, who are serving as leaders of the church in Santa Cruz.

Early in the month, we held a dinner on a Saturday night in the church to which we invited many friends and neighbors, with the intention of sharing the Gospel with them. There were many people in attendance and they all heard the Word of God preached, many of them promising to return again. While only a few of those who said they would return have actually come, we give thanks to God for those who do continue to come faithfully to the church meetings. We are praying for their salvation, and asking that God would open their eyes to see the wonders of His Law.
