Every Monday night, next to a slow, sluggish river filled with garbage the Circle of Prayer church has an outreach service in the community of Roberto Fermin. This past Monday, EDM had the privilege of preaching at this outreach. It was amazing to see how many young people showed up and stayed to hear the Word of God. Pray for this poor community that God will reach many of these young people who are searching for answers in the midst of the poverty and despair they see all around them.

Visiting pastors is always a rewarding and productive time.  The last few days of rain has also turned it into an adventure.  For instance, after visiting pastor Donato in Helechal, we were heading back to the main road when we got stuck.  Although someone offered us a tow, we decided to try and get out on our own.  After a time of discussion and pushing we finally made it back to the main road with our shoes packed with mud, and our clothes spattered with mud.  It sure spiced up our conversation as we drove to the next visit.  Please continue to pray for our pastors.  Although the Joy of the Lord is always evident, the needs of many of the pastors are great, and they also carry the often heavy load of the needs of their congregations and communities.
