Ps 8:1-2a O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise...Ps 9:1-2 I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. Ps 9:10 Those who know your name will trust I you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

October ended with a marriage conference and message on family by preached by Al in Pasaje. Twenty couples were anxious in hearing how to restore and heal broken relationships. As Anna and Al shared the 30 life's principles and knowing and praying for your spouse, they all responded to Pastor David's invitation of renewing their personal relationship with Christ in order to rebuild and restore their family relationships.

Thank you so much for all your prayers when things seemed bleak in the plans of having three professional counselors come to give lay counseling training. But God is always faithful and His plans are always best. We were blessed with the presence of Dr Tommy Smith a family counselor and director of Pathways Professional Counseling in Brewton, Alabama. Al and Linda translated for Dr Tommy Smith as he shared his rich experiences teaching local pastors and lay people basics in counseling. After a long extensive week, each participant received a certificate in lay counseling. Pray that each pastor and lay person that received this blessing will continue to seek the direction of the Holy Spirit as they yield to him in helping the broken hearted find the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wow! It keeps getting better. Praising with songs, Testimonies, God's Word preached, decisions for Christ, baptisms, spectators and now the feast. People brought potatoes, vegetables, rice, chicken, pork and yes, cuy (Guinna pig) and dumped it all on 2 long tables. After blessing all the provisions, as it is accustomed everyone went for the table to get their food with out plates or utensils. It was all hands and what a site. The Lord is good. You had to be there to enjoy. What a feast.

After the praising the Lord with hymns and songs, testimonies of the 18 baptismal candidates, preaching of the gospel message, we observed the baptisms. A father baptizes his two sons after eight months of them observing the change in his life, they too wanted what their parents had, "Jesus". We also rejoiced with one of the local leaders, Manuel as he baptized his wife (Luisa) after three years of working and teaching her what it means to walk with Jesus. And, Wow! The excitement of fellow believers encouraging them. This was great as we also had many observers from across the river curious of what was taken place. What a witness and testimony. Praise His Glorious Name.

It was a wonderful day and over 300 people attended the services and heard the gospel message preached by Pastor Lucas from Tambo. Pastor Honorato from Cashygalvay prays for three young ladies asking Jesus to be their Lord and Savior. Good to see the different pastors work together.

Thank you for your prayers and here you see fruit of your faithfulness. It was encouraging for everyone as a former nun (Loli) shared her testimony of how after serving as a nun for 14 years, God touched her heart and she surrendered to the Truth and gospel of Jesus Christ. (Fabien) a young man as he shared his testimony coming for baptism, brought tears as he surrendered his life to the ministry as well. God must have been smiling from heaven and the heavenly hosts rejoicing.
