The end of April and May were very eventful to say the least! We had a great turnout for the Children’s day Mini-Olympics event. On the heels of this came the influenza scare. Thankfully, there have not been any cases reported here in our area. As you already know, the economic crisis was taking a toll on many but with the influenza scare, the situation has worsened considerably with many more losing their jobs because of the further decline in tourism and halting of many construction projects. Please, pray for the Church to be a light amidst the financial crisis and for us to learn to depend more fully on Him as a result.
We had a few firsts this past month that we are excited about…On Sunday, May 24th we had almost 200 people attend. We also had our second baptism in the space of about a month- another incredible first! Lives are being changed and people are choosing to follow Christ and it is exciting to play a small part in it. Please, rejoice with us over these two couples who have committed to following Christ: Abel & Wendy and Yudith & Pedro. We also had our first division of cell groups, birthing two new cell groups. We are looking forward to having two more additional ones be birthed in a few months.
Keep an eye out for the Spring edition of our newsletter, “Eager Steps” which will be coming out soon, including more pictures. Thank you for your faithful prayers, encouragement and support. We pray you are able to rejoice with us in all the Lord is doing here in the Baja of Mexico!

I am having a hard time editing and arranging the photos and am too tired to figure it out right now-sorry.
