One post week

We're giving you a week to catch up on old posts this week! We're just going to write one post with the week's summary.

The highlights from La Raza...

Early in the week the MEFI team had a big sit down meeting with the supervisory pastor. Unity in the team has always been a fragile subject and it was time to get a lot of misassumptions and bad feeling out on the table this week. In a difficult ministry like this it is inevitable that the enemy will attack on some level and team unity seems to be the weak point at the moment. It is currently the biggest hindrance to handing the ministry over to the church to be completely Mexican-run.

The supervisory pastor (Miguel) did a fantastic job of facilitating with the end result that everyone was able to say what they needed to say and has been able to move forward again. Please pray particularly for Andrew and the part he has to play week by week in keeping the team moving towards that official handover.

Another highlight this week was that some neighbours from the community came into the Thursday evening service. Thanks for your prayers for that. There were some good conversations and we continue to pray that the community around will be impacted with the gospel message.

Other events...

The MOPS team decided that they want to run on an extra few weeks to make up for the loss of time during the flu crisis. That means that I will be giving a talk in a few weeks and would appreciate your prayers for my preparation. Pray with us that mums from the church who haven't made it out yet would get along and benefit from this great program.

We were involved this week in listening to and to some measure counselling several individuals who are passing through tough times. We appreciate your prayers for biblical wisdom in our responses and ability in our Spanish.
