Hispanic Work in Houston, TX

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am writing you to give testimony of the faithfulness of God in our ministry.
The 14th and 18th of June we had our Baptist Fellowship Youth Camp at the Iglesia Bautista Biblica of Orlando, Florida with pastor Antonio Rivera. There were four participant churches from the states of North and South Carolina, Florida, and Texas, with an attendance of 54 campers. The developed theme was "Discovering the invisible" with an environment reverent and propitious for the Holy Spirit to act in a way so special that there were four decisions for salvation and 51 for consecration and service to God. Two of our youth, Isaias and Judith, made a decision to help us in the Vacation Bible School at the apartments in Pasadena and at a home in Katy, TX. God gave us 16 decisions for salvation. Isaias and Judith also decided to continue with a Good News Club in Katy for the next six months.
As you already know, the 4th of December of 2008 we h ad the opportunity of organize ourselves as a church. We have seen the hand of God blessing us in a marvelous way; one of the blessings is adopting as our missionary the family of our brother Angel de Leon in Austin, TX, who have been doing a wonderful job with a few families, leading to give a step of faith to the organization of the first Baptist church of our fellowship in the capital of Texas. The special service of organization was the 27th of June at 2:00 PM with the participation of a council of six pastors from Mexico and Texas.
Our brothers Angel Gonzalez, Carlos Landeros, and Josue Salazar, are collaborating teaching in Sunday school, or preaching during the activities that we have throughout the week. Please pray for the opportunity to have a specific place to have our services during the week in Katy.
From the 26th to 30th of June we had our national reunion of pastors in Benson, NC with Pastor Daniel Garcia. There were five pastors participating in preaching during the morning and the night services. God blessed us with His word and we plan to work in a team to prepare our youth for the ministry.
Pastor Thank you for your support and your prayers. May God bless you!
