The pastor´s joined the congregation in Chenalho for a mid week service. It was moving to hear all those strong voices singing praises to the Lord. Pastor Everado, Carlos´brother, preached in Spanish and Pastor Octoviano interpreted the messsage in Tzotzil. They made a great team. It is wonderful to see so many of the pastor´s and leaders growing in ministry and responsibility. Their is no way that Bro. Carlos and Pastor Alex can handle all of the work since it is growing rapidly.

Today when Russell was purchasing more blankets in the market of San Crisitobal, the store owner questioned him about difficulty traveling in the mountains. The vendor stated that 3 times last year he was stopped by Zapatistas wanting money in order to continue on the highway. We have been told by others living here in Mexico that they know God has sent us because of the favor we have in this country. They say it is not natural. We thank God for His continual protection and ask that you continue to pray for us and the work of the ministry here.
