Queridos hermanos en Cristo:
Reciban un saludo todos ustedes aligual qe sus familias.
Este es el reporte del domingo 14 de Junio.
Fuimos 25 personas en el servicio y pido de sus oracoens por el matrimonio de César y Tere, ellos estan pensando en Bautizarse y parece ser que sera pronto.
Dear Brother in Christ:
Recieve a greeting all of you and also your families. This is the report of June 14th. We were 25 people in the service y I ask your prayers for the marriage of Cesar and Tere, they are thinking of being baptized and it seems that it will be soon.
Por otro lado el dia 22 de Junio, varios de los miembros de la iglesia estarán en ayuno, (junto con nosotros), Esta idea nacio despues de estudiar sobre el Ayuno y la Oración, creo fuertemente que Dios desea que su iglesia este creciendo y madurando espiritualemente y que sus seguidores tengamos un tiempo de ayuno y oracion permanente; (Mateo 6.16-18, 9:14-15; 1ra Tesalonicenses 5:16-17)
Siendo nuestra meta ser una iglesia Santa.
Pido de sus oraciones por nosotros y por la iglesia
Dios los bendiga ricamente en sus vidas.

Also, on June 22, various members of the church will be fasting (along with us). This idea was born after a study about prayer and fasting. I strongly believe that God wants his church to be growing and maturing spiritually and that as His followers we have a time of fasting and prayer premanently. (see versus mentioned above). It's our goal to be a holy church. I ask your prayers for us and for the church.
That God richly blesses you in your lives.

July Trip Update
We still have 2 optometrists traveling to Guanajuato state in July. We had hoped to take a larger group, but the poor economy, the unyielding airfares, summer plans, and the swine flu scare kept many people away.
If anyone would like to go along or if anyone will be in the area, please email Keith at tkbeyedoc@aol.com.
The tentative plans are as follows:
July 4 - arrive
July 5 - worship in Guanajuato city and mini-clinic in the afternoon
July 6 - clinic in Dolores Hidalgo (9-4)
July 7 - clinic in San Franciso del Rincon (9-4)
July 8 - clinic in Guanajuato capital (9-4)
July 9 - depart
We ask for your prayers for safety in travel, better luck with aduana (customs), and success in helping people see better, but more importantly in introducing them to the word of God and to a local fellowship of believers.

Dear brothers in Christ: This is the report of what is happening this week. Monday, June 1st, thanks be to God, we again had a study with a woman named Sandra (she is married to Jose and they have a 5 month old boy) Sandra comes to the services, but her husband still has not (he works as a prison guard) We are studying about baptism, and we have another meeting tomorrow. I ask for your prayers for Sandra.
Hoy tendre una cita con un grupo de mujeres que quieren saber de la palabra y esto sera a las 10:00 a.m. Son 5 mujeres amigas de Cesar y Tere.
Lamentablemente ayer un vecino que vivia enfrente de nuestra casa murio de un ataque al corazón y hoy pude hablar con ellos y darles animo a los dolientes (espero haber sembrado la palabra)
les mando la foto del servicio en donde fuimos 17 personas (varios no vinieron) y aunque
en la semana nos reunimos para estudiar y orar juntos y me dijeron que nos veriamos en los servicios, la verdad es que no vinieron y todavia no se porque. (espero saberlo este dia)
Los hermanos de la iglesia en Toluca me invitaron el dia sabado 27 a las 12:00 a.m. a darles el sermon Bacalario a los estudiantes que se graduan del ILEB. (Instituto Latinoamericano de Estudios Biblicos) una sucursal de Sunset International Bible Institute.
Today we will have an appointment with a group of women who want to know about the Word, and this will be at 10am. They are 5 friends of Cesar and Teri.
Sadly, yesterday our neighbor, the man who lives in front of our house, dies of a heart attack and today I was able to speak with the family and to give them comfort in their pain (I hope to have sown the Word).
I am sending you a photo of the service (we were 17 present, and variuos people did not come) and even though we meet during the week to pray together and they told me thay will come to the services, they didn't come and I don't yet know why (I hope to know today).
The brothers in the Toluca church asked me to come on Saturday the 27th at 12 (noon?) to give the baccalaureate sermon to the stuents graduating from ILEB ( LatinAmerican Institute of Bible Studies), a branch of the Sunset International bible Insitute.
Espero que Dios nos permita estar juntos nuevamente para glorificar su Santo Nombre.
Dios los bendiga
I hope that God permits us to be together again to praise His Holy Name.

Dear beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,
On Saturday, May 23rd we had the opportunity to bless the marriage union of Eric and Dulce (Eric is the son of Eva and Teo - Ofelia's brother). Thanks to God the ceremonywas pretty and touching. Later we went to the wedding celebration (reception) - there were almost 200 people in attendance.
Sunday there were 15 people in the worship. Sadly, some are waiting and others are looking for work in other cities. I ask your prayers that the church will again grow in number and in faithfulness. Thank you so much for your prayers are for your financial support.
God Bless

Queridos hermanos en Cristo.
Este es el reporte del 17 de mayo.
Fuimos 20 personas en el servicio y 10 personas mas en la comida de las mujeres en el parque Encino.
Gracias a Dios la gente ya esta viniendo a los servicios, esto es resultado de las oarciones y ademas tambien por que la alarma de la epidemia ya esta pasando, como resultdo de esto la gente esta mas confiada.
lamentablemente la economia esta muy mal en Gto, algunos han perdido el trabajo y las cosas estan cada ves mas caras.
Sin embargo estamos confiados en que pronto sera solo un recuerdo desagradable.
les mando algunas fotos y espero que pronto podamos vernos.
Dios los bendiga siempre.
Raciel.
Dear brothers in Christ, this is the report of May 17th. We were 20 people in the worship service and 10 more at the luncheon that the ladies put on at Encino park. Thanks be to God that people are still coming to the services.. this is the result of prayers also additionally because the alarm of the epidemic is passing. The result of this is that the people are more confident (to come out).
Sadly, the economy is very bad in Guanajuato, some have ost there jobs and things are getting more expensive every day. Nevertheless, we are confident that this will all soon be a bad memory. I send you some photos and hope that we will soon be able to see one another. God bless you forever.

Queridos hermanos en Cristo.
Este es el reporte del servicio del domingo 10 de mayo del 2009
Fuimos 22 personas y en este momento algunas personas no han podido (o no quieren) venir a la iglesia, la familia de ofelia esta compitiendo para ser candidatos a la presidencia de Gto y ellos estan muy ocupados haciendo campañas y muchas cosas más, por lo tanto no se reunen con nosotros por el momento.
Pero oramos porque pronto nuestro Dios mande personas que quieran conocer y obedecer su palabra.
Dear brothers in Christ. This is the report of the service on May 10, 2009. We were 22 in attendance and at this time some people haven't been able to (or don't want to) come to the church. Ofelia's family is competing to be candidates to the presidency of Guanajuato (this is some sort of significant political involvement that I don't fully understand - tkb) and they are very busy campaigning and doing a lot of oher things, therefore they are not meeting with us at the moment. But we pray so that God will soon send more people who want to understand and obey his word.
Las mujeres que verdaderamente estan comprometidas, estan creciendo espiritualmente y cada vez se les nota mas; Les mando algunas de las fotos de las clases que estan tomando los dias sabados (este sabado pasado fueron 10 personas)

Queridos hermanos en Cristo Esperamos que se encuentren cada dia mejor de salud.
La iglesia en Gto esta orando por tu salud de la iglesia en NC.y por los ancianos y hermanos (as)
Damos gracias a Dios de que la gripe solo esta en algunos lugares y oramos por que la ciudad de ustedes este libre de la enfermedad.
Dear brothers in Christ. We hope that each day finds you in better health. The church in Guanajuato is praying for the health of the church in North Carolina and for the elders and the brothers and sisters. We give thanks to God that the "flu"is only in some places and we pray that your city is free from this sickness.
Nosotros tenemos (como sabes) el problema de la gripe y eso nos tiene un poco preocupados pero confiamos en nuestro poderoso Dios y sabemos que pronto esto pasará.En la iglesia en Gto hay algunos enfermos de gripa (pero NO DE LA INFLUENZA) y muchos no vinieron a los servicios del domingo solo 13 personas y algunos niños (enfermos de gripa) asi que les pido de sus oraciones.
We have (as you know) the problem of the flu and this makes us a little worried, be we trust in our powerful God and we know that this shall soon pass. In the church in Guanajuato there are some sick with colds (but not the flu) and many didn't come to the Sunday services. Only 13 adults and some children (sick with the cold), so we ask for your prayers.
La semana pasada se suspendieron todas las actividades en la iglesia (celulas, estudios, clases, reuniones ect..) y casi estuvimos encerrados muchos dias. (la verdad me senti impotente y como leon encerrado) porque el gobierno dijo que asi tendria que ser hasta el 6 de mayo y NO creo poder aguantar tanto tiempo sin "ver" a los hermanos y amigos de la iglesia, asi que her decidido salir desde mañana a cuidar a las "corderos" y enterarme de su situacion (desde luego hemos estado en contacto por telefono con todos pero no es lo mismo aun cuando algunos han venido a nuestra casa) asi que les pido de sus oraciones por nosotros y por la iglesia.
Dios los bendiga y fortalesca siempre
Su amigo y hermano en Cristo
Las week almost all of the normal church activities (groups, studies, classes, meetings, etc) we cancelled... and we we practically imprisoned many days (the truth is that I felt powerless and like a caged lion) because the government said that we should do it until May 6th and I don't think I can stand going so long without seeing the brothers and sisters of the church... so I have decided to go out starting tomorrow to care for the "sheep"and to put myself in their situation (up to this point we have been in contact by phone with everyone, but it's just not the same even though some of them have come to our house). Because of this I ask for your prayers for us and for the church.
