Thank you all for praying while brother Chris Broderson was here. Our meeting in Ceuta was a success (Picture). A couple of the really significant decisions made were; to use the el Salto building and property as the official retreat center for the Sinaloa Alliance. Also, they agreed to call and name a coordinator to begin to plan for an official conference in May. They name Emilia Calderon, Pastor Lupe's wife, and afterward we gathered around her for prayer and the laying on of hands. The Mazatlan congregation is moving toward the opening of a retirement home for those who have no place to go. Mazatlan has ample orphanages and homes for youth and drug addicts, but nothing for the elderly. The church now is caring for some right at the church/institute.
When Chris and I arrived at Genaro and Carmen's house to go out on the street to share the Gospel, we found them entertaining a house full of family, including Genaro's parents. As we participated in conversation, it became evident that his parents weren't christians... yet. The Spirit led us right into the Gospel as both of them said, "then it's impossible for anyone to save themselves." We brought them to Him to took our punishment and offers us eternal life freely in His Name. Do pray for Marcos and Cicilia to grow in their new relationship with Jesus.
I talked to Juanito in Puebla the other day. He is not going to be able to continue the work there in the city much longer. I recommended we talk to the other congregations that are in the mountains there in Puebla, that they might pray, and as Acts 6:3 says "seek out" someone from amongst themselves who would be put in charge of the congregation. Pray for "stronger men!"
Gracie and I have been sick most of the week, we'd appreciate your prayers, and do appreciate your prayers "for powers equal to our tasks."
Your fellow workers,
Your fellow workers,
Darwin, Mary Ann and Gracie Jackson
