Hello
Sorry for the late update, this last month has been a little bit chaotic trying to figure out something's concerning the ministry but thanks the Lord that He has provided clarity for it. The church has been inconsistent also there is some people sharing my burden concerning the growing of the church but its majority seems to be indifferent to it. After talking with some people I've decided to have a meeting with the people from pueblo viejo who had any kind of involvement with the church in January. This will be helpful as to see what way the church is going to follow for the rest of my term and for the next person who jumps in. Also keep praying for the next person who jumps in to lead the church, we still haven't find anyone but there is going to be more clarity soon. Also pray for us as we have begun the book of 1 John three weeks ago.
To me the situation still frustrating but still seeing it as a channel to seek the Lord and rest in His sufficiency as I keep seeking guidance from Him. It's very discouraging sometimes but I also have to remember that if I keep trying just in my own strength I will get nothing done even tho if it looks outwardly like it, i must trust Him.
