November Updates 2009

Construction Progress

When many said, “It couldn’t be done” We said, “In God We Trust.”  When many said, “With this economy, you guys are brave to even think about expansion.” We said, “we are not in the World’s economy, we are not in crisis, we are in Christ.” The word or God says, “… in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose… If God is for us who can be against us.”  {Romans 8:28, 31}

We know were called to start this no-cost daycare and help as many families as we can. We will not stop obeying His call on this ministry because of any lack; because in all things we are blessed! And we thank you for letting God use you to expand this ministry. Every prayer and every penny that is received with abundance of gratitude. We still have a ways to go until the building is completed, and until we can financially afford to take in 30 more kids. But we trust God and His faithfulness! He will meet all our needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)!

Men’s Ministry!!!!

Daniel and some other men in the community started a cell group (small group) for the guys in the community. There has been no place for these men to come and seek the word of God during the week. So for the past 2 months they have been meeting at our outside dining room of the dorms we built. Many of these men are coming out of drug and alcohol rehabilitation, or have had a “bad” church experience and are searching for a place to connect. They have found that they are accepted at the small group and it’s a safe place for men with all different types of backgrounds. Praise the Lord many of the Dads of the daycare are attending!!! Marriages are being saved, lives have been changed and people are accepting Christ! There is still a lot of work to be done but please continue to pray for these men

Pray they will grow into a deeper relationship with the Lord, that they will leave their addictions and vices at the feet of Christ, and that they will be restored     completely and know the goodness, love and faithfulness of Jesus.

PLEASE BE IN PRAYER FOR THE MEN’S SMALL GROUP!!!!!!

As Open Arms continues to start and grow more ministries in La Mision we know that there will be storms and struggles. But we know that Christ has given us victory and we are more then conquerors!!!!!! (Romans 8; 37).

With your prayers and support and God’s help we can do all things.
