God is Patient with us

Hello my brothers and sisters

This past month has been encouraging having a team working alongside with me for even a few days, CBC from crossville, TN were here helping us with evangelism and visitations. Also encouraging people to be more consistent in their participation with the church. After they left people in pueblo viejo were encouraged to be more consistent in their participation and involvement in the church. Im right now working with the follow up of the people that were contacted that week. 

Church has been inconsistent in its attendance which normally occurs during the raining season, but im so glad that even when I have a lot or little there is few people being consistent in their assistance. I still working on discipleship on saturdays 3pm im teaching theology to a man from another church but lives in the Pueblo Viejo area. There is another group that we are going through the book of 1 John which we are going to finish next saturday. Im adding to my schedule a bible study on the attributes of God on sundays evening and also a new group to disciple on Saturday evening. I also plan to teach partly bible study methods to all te groups little by little so they can grow in how to have a personal bible study.

This is going progressively slow but is going and i have to be patient because there is not so much consistency always. But God doesn't give up on us so I shouldn't give up on them, I think the more I wait for them it gives me time to think how I shouldn't complain about me waiting for it. Which asks the main question: if i cant lovingly wait for them then why am I doing it at all? I think the Lord uses this situations to redirect us to the main motor of our service which is love. In other news I had to move for 5th time which im starting to consider each moving a mission trip but oh well.

PD, to my american brethren: I know you guys are going through a tough election because of the candidates. But let me encourage you to never take your eyes away from the Gospel, the preaching of it will convert souls, whoever gets elected dont forget that the God who created heavens and earth is more than able to bring them to Himself. And never forget that those who oppose you politically are not your enemies but your mission field, what politics can do the power of the Gospel will. Praying that your love don't grow weary but be fueled by the Sovereignty of God.
