Jesus rose so that we can rise

The resurrection of Jesus two thousand years ago is the foundation of our faith. The cause we live for rests or falls on the truthfulness of this event. The people I am helping bring to faith need to realize how powerful is God the Father, who was able to raise His son from the grave. The fact of the resurrection helps us in our rising to life in the Spirit. We are revived in our bodies and in our spirits. We keep burning like incense in prayer and fasting so that we get filled by the Spirit. Thanks to all of you at Bammel for giving Roxana and I the privilege of being your missionaries in Heredia, Costa Rica.

The church that meets in San Rafael de Heredia

Part of the group that attended the Nov. 2 service, being led in singing by Andrés Hernandez (outside the photo)

The  Lord has been gracious to us allowing us to reach out to the community of San Rafael de Heredia. There were 18 attending to the regular service on Sunday, November 2, 2014. Didier Rojas taught the Bible lesson. Andrés Hernández led the singing. The church in San Rafael is an outshoot of the church in downtown Heredia. It meets every Sunday at 6 pm. We still minister to the church in downtown Heredia on Sunday mornings. Roxana and I have moved back to San Rafael de Heredia after having lived for one year in San Pablo. We are using the house we rent in San Rafael for the church to meet here. As soon as we have enough membership, we will move to downtown San Rafael. Thanks to the Bammel church in Houston for supporting us in this work and the work in Heredia. The Bammel church has been faithful in providing this support. We deeply appreciate it.
