The Church of Christ in St. Louis MO, This month we have had a month full of many blessings, The gospel continues to be preached, we continue to collaborate to strengthen homes, marriages, men and the church. We continue to try to know God, through the scriptures, we continue to collaborate to grow in communion and fellowship. The blood of God and the power of his gospel help us always at all times to stand firm even in all the difficulties we face every day. Ephesians 3:14-19 14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [a]of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Evangelism This month we are very happy, full of joy to see one more soul surrender to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. She is Deisy She is the daughter of a family that is studying the word of God. This month in attendance under 34 and over 46, we almost reached 50. It is a blessing to see how many times souls come to receive God's message and to know more about God and the truth in His Church this March we were talking, knowing God based on the book of Hosea 4:6. On Wednesdays we had an attendance of less than 11 and greater than 17. On Wednesdays in March we continue the theme: When God brings judgment upon mankind based on Romans 2:5-9 and the last two Wednesdays we study the theme: Not ceasing to gather Hebrews 10:25. This month we had 14 Bible studies with a total of 36 invitations. We are teaching all this March from 4 pm homiletics classes, Types of Sermons. Right now we're about the verbatim sermon. The men are very participatory and energetic with their themes and research on the texts. The sisters are at the same time learning how to lead a class of children at different ages. Kristi has been teaching while teaching the children, showing the sisters what is done on each class occasion and with their respective age and teaching children's songs. Since each age requires different attention. Thank God we have been able to carry out this work that will help us grow and prevent future needs of numerical growth and be able to meet those needs when the Lord sends us more brothers in Christ. We continue to study with families and encourage couples by strengthening homes and trying to win souls to God with the power of the gospel. The struggles belong to everyone, the world needs everyone. As Paul said to the Romans 9:14, how will they believe if there is no one to preach to them?

This month we have been in many difficulties, but also blessings. I've been with a dry cough for almost over a month. It wasn't just a bronchial allergy. It wasn't easy this month preaching and giving studies having this. But God is good. We managed to move forward with the days. Pray for me for my health, as I have not felt well. Without sleeping well, Since I have the sleep apnea and my machine has not arrived yet. On the other hand, my children are already practicing baseball, which is nice to see them practice and enjoy this sport socially. We have also been doing devotionals in the house. I told my children that they have a pretend congregation that they are in charge and everyone needs to preach every Friday. The preacher in charge of that week has a meeting of preachers with the other brothers and the one who preaches that week, is in charge in that meeting of asking who prays, sings and gives announcements in the group. That preacher of the week has to preach that day. Let me tell you, sometimes I come home from work and they tell me daddy there's a meeting today. I keep thinking, but it's not Friday today... But I understand they want to do it. We have had many services in the house several Fridays now. God bless the future of his kingdom. Thank you so much for your support and prayers for the church in St. Louis MO. God bless you always every day.
