Blown Away

Wow! God is good! This morning we had our first Spanish ministry service. It was packed out! The first room we had reserved did not hold all the people the Lord brought so halfway through worship they announced we would be changing rooms. We made the quick journey to another building and guess what...we packed out that room as well! The worship was a blessing and the message was magnificent (okay, okay so I'm a little biased)! Actually I didn't understand all that much but I sure enjoyed being there and witnessing God's answer to prayer in bringing so many to hear the Word in Spanish. We saw roughly 150 people in attendance. Alright so about 100 were our family members (j/k). Actually, our prayer is not for a huge crowd, but a crowd that is hungry for God's Word. We will see what the Lord will do in the near future!

Today was just a blessing overall. It was a beautiful day and it was so wonderful to see so much of our family come to church and just all be together. And Jose and I were both so encouraged all morning as so much of our church family prayed for us and were just excited with us, sharing the anticipation and joy of a new adventure. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us...and please, keep those prayers coming! :)

Very cool Laura. I had no idea that you and Jose are taking over the Spanish ministry. What a wonderful start to a fantastic ministry journey. I'll now know exactly what to pray for you and your family!

What a blessing! It definitely sounds like there is a need for the Spanish service and the people are hungry for the Word. How encouraging for Jose and the ministry on the first service that he taught:)
