Greetings once again!
Thank you so much for your prayers! We are happy to report that Hurricane Jimena did not hit us directly and did not cause the damage which a category 4 hurricane would typically do. We received quite a bit of rain, some wind, and a little loss of power (only about 5 hours) but nothing bad. Further up the coast, it was a different story. We would appreciate your prayers for these areas, especially Ciudad Constitución, which have quite a bit of rebuilding to do. Please pray for wisdom in how best we can serve and help with the needs they are experiencing.
We are praising God for quite a large number at our cell group last night, especially children (18!). There is a newer visitor who is bringing many from her neighborhood. Please pray with us that the parents would desire to come as well, to study the Bible and learn more about God. It was wonderful to see Jaime's friend "G" return. Please pray with us that he would continue to seek the truth and would find freedom from his alcoholism.
Tomorrow, Iglesia Emanuel will begin a series of monthly, workshops to help build marriages. Considering that the last statistics we read reported the divorce rate here as 70%, this is definitely a great need. Please pray that the couples attending would have their marriages strengthened and be shining testimonies of God's grace at work in their personal lives and as a couple.
Thank you once again for your prayers during the storm and your continued prayers, encouragement and support for our ministry.
By His Grace,
Phil and Pattie
