We all need opportunities to be understanding and love one another. Nobody in the world wants to feel harm or be hurt by others. How beautiful is the power of God and how he helps us to be there for the ones who are suffering and need to be heard about their issues and difficulties. As I mentioned before, to the Spanish speaking members, we all are in a hospital (the church) We are all coming to meet as a congregation, because we are weak, we are hurt, we are in danger for our soul in Christ Jesus. We are all imperfect, that is why we come together to worship, we come together to be heard and understood. We may need there with love and understanding with their difficulties and suffering. We need to be there for everyone who come to us with love that they can’t find in the world today. The bible says: Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law. We the Spanish Iglesia de Cristo are missing two families that we love so much, but we are happy for the decision they made for their spiritual needs. They feel ready to join the English services. Baltazar family at West End and Flores family at Foristell. We all in the kingdom, we know they will feel welcome and be part of their families too. We had a baptism this past Wednesday night. Damael was baptized for the remission of her sins. Please pray for her for her new single life and her kids. Pray for stability and strength. We had her since September of 2023, she was coming since then and we were helping her and comforted her during the hard process of relationship, but she always was coming to counts of Christ and His people. Its not easy on her what she was and is facing now but please say a prayer for her and her new life in Christ Jesus. When people find a place to be heard and understood, Christ sends us to them or sends them to us to be comforted by His words and love. Here it is a picture of her baptism. Please help us with saying a pray for the bibles studies we had this past month and the studies we will have with new families and the people are invited to our services. And our God helping us to continue planting the seeds in their hearts with love and truth. Fellowship We had some man meeting at Oscar house this past month, trying to get the man of the congregation to be one in Christ Jesus and find a place to share the gospel and having fellowship with one and another. Having a meal and playing some outdoor games (but we play inside of his house) in the end of the meeting, we prayed for every one that night for their families in their countries. We also had the opportunity to rejoice with Andrea and Franco family, and celebrated the new baby that is coming soon in summer. We had a great time together and sharing all blessing and wishes with them. We had also a fellowship at Sayda home. It was the first in the year. It was a great time together and I preached about “A Divided Home” it was great to see us together in fellowship and eating together and rejoicing in the Lord church. Here are some pictures. Family
Thank you for all west end church for your appreciations and donations for our families that were participating at LADS 2024, the Roques are very thankful for all that helped our kids and helped us to be there and participated without your love and support we could not make it as we did it this past weekend. My kids felt energetic and inspired by seeing other kids showing their awesome talents and friendship and kindness. Some of my kids even sat with other kids Sunday morning worship after they competed against each other. That was awesome to see kids getting to know each other and make friends with other people that had never meet before. After it was all over, here are some pictures from LADS 2024.
