As the year comes to an end, we wanted to give you a quick update on what's been happening in our Hispanic Ministry here at West End church of Christ. Over the past three weeks, Elias has been studying with a young man named Oscar. He is the son of our visitor Jill. If you remember from our previous blog posts she is the woman from Venezuela who saved our post card invitation in her purse for several months and then came to visit us one Sunday for "confession." Oscar is 20 years old and was in need of some guidance per his mother's request. He was very willing to have some studies with Elias, and his older sister was able to accompany him as well. As a result of these studies, Oscar, his sister Fabiola and her son Lukas, Jill his mother, and Cruz his grandmother have all been attending services with us at West End. It is always so exciting to see new faces walk through those doors on Sunday morning, and yesterday was no different. Because Oscar has wanted a change in his life, he has encouraged his entire family to set new spiritual goals for 2019. Elias passed out the church calendar with events for the entire year, and our new friends were already making plans to attend each one of them. They were especially excited about our spring retreat coming in April. Our end of the month, Sunday fellowship meal was filled with lots of laughter, great conversation, and Venezuelan corn bread. Delicious! We were too busy fellowshipping to get any pictures this week, but hopefully next week we can introduce them to you officially. Please continue to pray for the four families that we are working with so far here in St. Louis, and also for the future families that are searching for the truth this new year. God bless.
