What's Going on in Jerez?

MTI Intern
Our MTI intern, Courtney Jacobi, will be arriving on Monday, February 6th. Pray for her as she makes connections in Mexico City on her way to Zacatecas and for her three months here. Courtney will be staying with Abril’s (ahBREEL) family. In the attached picture of our youth group Abril is in the top left-hand corner next to our daughter, Rachel.

Giles
Dan and Debbie Giles left today for the graduation of their son, Danny, from bootcamp with the Marines in San Diego and also for the birth of their first grandchild. There are lots of details that we are praying about for them and I know they would appreciate your prayers as well.

Youth Group
Please pray for the kids in our youth group (see attached photo). Several of the kids come from homes we are trying to reach out to with God’s Word. The kids put on several puppet skits during our Christmas outreach dinner that went over very well so they are excited to continue with puppet ministry.

Christmas Outreach
We praise God for a great Christmas dinner outreach. The program went very well with about 150 in attendance. The Sunday School kids were precious, the Kid’s Club kids came and joyfully participated as well. Numerous Kid’s Club parents came as well. Several hands went up after Dan gave a Gospel invitation at the end of the dinner so we are grateful for God’s work in people’s hearts as a result of this event. And we gave away almost 60 quilts as well. Thank you quilters! Two weeks ago it was down to 17 degrees so those quilts were much appreciated.

Digital Camera
Thank you as well for your prayers and thank you Terry for the digital camera! A picture should be a new regular feature of these updates.
