Revival Meeting in Las Delicias

This past weekend we went to Las Delicias to preach a revival on the theme of Holiness. It was an awesome time!! The crowds were to big for the church so they set up in front of a little school house. Roberto invited several area churches and they brought a bus and several car loads of people.
There was probably an average of about 150 people each night, with the biggest crowd on Sunday night with more than 200! There were 10 people who got saved during the meeting!! Praise God for what He has done!! The church is moving forward.
While we were home in Pa, my cousin Pam bought both of our boys a scooter for Christmas. It has been the hit of the town!! Joseph and his friends spent most of the weekend riding scooters!
Pastor Roberto with his daughter Jireth and Daniel. Roberto and Jenny are doing an excellent job in this community!! They have really focused on prayer and fasting and God is giving them results.

On Sunday morning we had a baptismal service. There were six people that got baptized.
Roberto and I with the five that got baptized in the pond. We later baptized another lady in her house because she is unable to walk. It was a very special service and so encouraging to see new converts minding God.
Praising God for what He has done!!
Joseph on one of the rock hills near the pond.
After the baptismals at the pond we stopped by Susanna's house. Due to a sickness in her bones she is unable to walk and wasn't able to go to the pond to be baptized. So we came to her house and baptized her by pouring water. She was so exited!!
Susanna with her baptismal certificate.
Pastor Roberto with two young men from his church who are really wanting to serve God. David on the left and Philip on the right. They may very well be future pastors.
On Sunday there were about 30 of our people from Tiloarque that came to be part of the baptismal service and a few stayed for the evening service. Here are some of the girls toasting tortillas for lunch.
The services were blessed with God's presence!!! We definitely felt His help.

Our Trip to Pa part II

The main reason for our trip to Pa was to speak at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Convention that was held at the Beavertown God's Missionary Church. The theme of the convention was Dive, Dive In, Dive Deep. They did an excellent job decorating the church and foyer.
Several Bible Schools brought PR groups that sang in the pre-services. They all did an excellent job.
We so enjoyed the music ministry of the Mayhle family. Their songs of encouragement even meant more after everything that Mike has gone through with his battle with Leukemia. It was inspiring to see their determination!!
Hannah shared her testimony and gave a challenge to the young people on Saturday morning. God really anointed her and made her a blessing!! If you would like to hear her story, go to http://www.youthconvention.org/ and go to the archives for Saturday.
Despite some snowy weather, the services were well attended. What a blessing to meet up with so many friends.
I thank God for how He helped us in every service. He was speaking to many hearts and convicting sinners. We had some really good altar services and many got spiritual help. Thanks to everyone who prayed in behalf of this convention.
During the nightly services the children had their own service. Joseph so enjoyed the stories and the fellowship with the other kids. They surprised both Daniel and Joseph on the last night when they presented them an offering of over $120 to share between the two of them. The boys felt so special!!
Also on the last night we gave a hand carved plaque from Honduras to the Beavertown youth group for their support over the years.
 
All in all it was an amazing trip!!!
