New Hispanic Plant

God has blessed us with 6 churches here in the Northwest. Each is different and unique, and reaching  a different cultural group.  There are even two churches within the same block, each with its specific ethnic flavor!

The obvious challenge now, is to reach the second generation.  The new plant in Newberg, Oregon is aimed at just that.  Please pray as the core group continues to pray, plan and prepare for this new plant that is to launch in January.2005_0101newbded0002

Pancho(in the middle) with two of the men in the core group, that is preparing for this new plant.  PTL!!!!!

¡Feliz Navidad!      ,  Harry and De

FAMILY CAMP A BLESSING

God blessed us with a great Family Camp - Campamento Familiar
Theme  "En Manos del Alfarero"  (In the Potter's Hands)
Over 200 people:
Praised God together . . .
Enjoyed great food  . . .
Competed in futbol on a bright sunny afternoon . . .
Gave over $400 to a fellow Hispanic brother who is working among Muslims . . .
Sang around a rousing camp fire . . .
Walked on the beautiful Oregon beach . . .
Witnessed 4 people confess Christ for the first time . . .
Saw another 2 be immersed into Him . . .
Were challenged in the classes to serve Him more faithfully . . .
We praise the Lord,  and thank you for your part.
Love,
Harry, De and los hermanos
