This week the blog is from Mary.Greetings again from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico! The month of January has been a month of great giving by the congregation and anonymous individuals. Responding to the earthquake in Haiti and other needs, over $2000.00 has been given to benevolence/missions. Our people are a caring, loving people and work hard at serving Him and sharing what little they have with others.
The church also did a food drive for the Haitians. The good responce was taken to a distribution center in the Aguadilla area. Shortly after that they closed the distribution center. Meanwhile, at the university where I work, the English Department collected food. Since the center had closed, they asked me if our church could deal with the tremendous amount that had been collected. What a great opportunity to witness for Him! One of our church members works for a subsidiary of FedEx and they will ship it free; we just have to get it to them. The Lord uses many to bless others!
Today we had a young teenager sing a special. This was the first time many knew that he sang, plus, he played the guitar and wrote the song! God has given this young man a talent that he wants to use for the Lord.
In a testimony today, a man in the church shared with us that, since deciding to allow the Lord to fully guide his and his family’s lives, He has blessed them in many different ways. He wanted everyone to know that he had made this decision and the Lord had blessed him for it!
There is a new, young family visiting who have been there the last three weeks. They have a little three year old girl who really enjoys the Jr. Church. Hopefully, they will continue to come.
As always, thanks for your continued interest in the Lord’s work here in Puerto Rico.
Partnering with you,
Johnathan and Mary
