Goodbye July! We’ll miss you, you’ve been good to us, but we are ready and eager to welcome August!

July has probably been our busiest month this year. Although, come to think of it the end of every month feels like that. All jokes aside, WOW! What a month! God gave us the privilege to host another Bible Conference. We had over 120 pastors, pastor wives, men and women leaders and more! It was a wonderful and blessed time. Many came that first day of the conference feeling tired, burdened, lonely, and ready to give up. The day they left they felt encouraged, uplifted, accompanied, and ready to continue fighting the good fight! Pouring into the cups of those who are constantly pouring into others is such an honor.

In October we have our Pastor’s Congress, and we pray it will be another opportunity for those attending to be refreshed. Remember, you can join the effort to minister those who minister by clicking on DONATE NOW and donate under Pastoral Support/Training.

“Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory!
Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm
so that I will be free from pain.”

1 Chronicles 4:10

ENLARGE OUR REACH

Two times in the Old Testament, in Isaiah and 1 Chronicles we see a verse with the same idea.

Isaiah says in 54:2, “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back.”

Then in 1 Chronicles 4, Jabez is praying and says, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.”

What I’m writing today really is more of a report, I want to tell you that God is enlarging our territory. We are planning, in long-term plans, to one day open 3 new Happy Tummies. So, I want to ask that you join us in prayer that we will be able to do this. Pray that God will allow us to enlarge our territory, and that many children will come to Christ as well as their parents.

Our human hearts would love to have this done, now! But we are trusting God’s timing and for Him to lead us in the right direction. The best we can do is continue to pray, visit, and research. He will know when to enlarge our territory!

Serving Christ together,

Pastor Luis
