How beautiful it is to know that we can start again, a new year can bring happiness, challenges, difficulties, bad news, growth, stability, instability, joy, sadness, faithfulness, holiness, communion, and more. But it's all up to us. Those of us who are in Christ, every day is something new to continue, those of us who are in Christ every day can be a struggle to continue, every day is a decision to make. Paul said to Christians, everything is new with Christ, we are new creatures who are in Christ: 2 corinthians 5:17 : 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new Evangelism: This month we were, as usual due to the cold, with difficulty being able to find or visit constantly. But we were always helping to make the gospel known, inviting, serving those who need physical care, but more spiritual. We were cheering on some brothers during their physical and spiritual difficulties. We had 16 Bible studies and 11 invitations. Hoping that the seed can germinate, as the enemy dries the seed over time. We hope in the Lord that we can continue and reach souls. Internet: The month of January, we had the wonderful opportunity to interact on the internet. On Facebook pages, where we usually introduce the church and the word of God is satisfying, but also at the same time harmful. We are emphasizing why do religions insist on tithing, knowing that it is not right to do so? That brought a lot of comments and people debating such an idea. We spent almost a day and a half counting the different hours, answering each person at different points that they were confused. With this we hope to give to know the true gospel and the true doctrine. We were preaching live on the Church of Christ Facebook page sharing messages that societies and people constantly experience. Theme Evangelism: Envy, Encouragement Program: In Gethsemane. And we had the opportunity to preach the third Sunday meeting via zoom, as we had almost 5 families sick with Covid, symptoms. It was a beautiful reunion brothers sharing the broadcast with other friends via Facebook. Scattered Network : This month we begin to spread worldwide positive messages that lead us to know more about God and his gospel. This month it took me a long time to be able to use all the tools that Scattered has to record and play back to upload on different platforms. We begin with the theme: Your life's mission. I hope we can reach many homes and people around the world. Benevolence: This month we had the visit of many people who were able to approach the building and be able to receive from those that we share with those in need. 4 families of 3 – 5 people living in their homes came, some relatives of brothers or visits from the congregation to be able to receive what they need. Thank you to all the brothers and sisters who make it possible to reach out to these families and to invite them with love to scrutinize the word of God. Ministry: This month of January, we have started beautifully, but the wolf entered the fold and scattered the Spanish-speaking sheep. It is amazing how everything seems calm, and suddenly there are problems, there are difficulties in families and siblings. Sometimes I ask God to help me not feel so much pain to see how the wolf, scatters the sheep and takes them away from the fold to stalk it and lead it to spiritual death. Together with my wife we have been praying, distraught and thinking about how God's children are suddenly carried away by the enemy. Please pray for Sister Sandra and her and Oscar’s son and her spiritual life. Pray for Oscar and his spiritual life. By Edwin Cano and his spiritual life. We try with prayer and study to reach their hearts and get them to wake up from their loss. I have been studying, many times spending midnight, hours talking about the problem, the difference between right and wrong, just and true, the encouragement to continue even though everything around is wrong and still wrong. Encouraging them to think about what Peter says. It is better to suffer by doing good than by doing evil. May God take control of his fold and the hearts of the brethren from whom the wolf separates from the truth and the right way. Two languages one faith: This month we had the joy of sharing a great gathering with God, together in both languages. Serving God by doing His will. How beautiful even though the fold is attacked, to see those who have stayed faithful. What a blessing to see all together faithful to the Lord. We had more than 100+ souls gathered, praising in two tongues a faith. Beautiful message of unity in the Lord. Family:
Brethren, pray for us, this January we had many difficulties in ministry. But we remain united and striving to sow and water the seed of God's Word. We started wanting to grow more and the enemy arrived wanting to destroy the work in the vineyard of the Lord. Thank you for your prayers and help to our family. God bless you.
