MONTHLY REPORT

MARCH 2007

SERVICES

• Thanks to God, we continue having services on Sundays at 10am and 2pm, Tuesdays at 6pm and 8pm, and Thursdays at 8pm.
• We continue having meetings in the homes with music classes and a short lesson given by one of the members.
• On Sundays at 10am we are studying about suffering. The purpose of this is so that the brethren understand that suffering for Christ brings us to eternal joy and suffering for our sins brings us to condemnation.
• At the time of preaching in the morning and in the evening, the men take turns preaching. The purpose of this is to be responsible and to be prepared for a government in the church.
• On Tuesdays at 6pm the women are meeting by themselves and they are studying topics related to women and their roll in the church. The purpose of this is to reach the point that the Sisters feel useful and take their responsibility in the Church.
• On Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8pm we are studying the book of Acts. The purpose of this is to learn about the start of the Church and the growth of the Church in order to be able to apply it in our time.

PERSONAL STUDY

• We continue preparing ourselves for each of the topics that we have to present to the congregation and the people who we are visiting and studying with.

STUDYING AND VISITATION

• We continue visiting the members with the purpose of achieving a wider friendship and in that way be more comfortable in the work of the church.
• We continue studying with our Sister Patricia, and we have now started to study with her daughter. We are studying with Karina and Isamar, and we are visiting with 23 people who have been contacted through evangelism and the radio program. We are looking to have a study with each one of them. We ask for your prayers in order to have a good result from this work.

TEENS

• We continue working in order to have more teens. We are planning to have an activity at the building next May.

WOMEN

• The sisters continue with their work of teaching the children’s classes and at the end of each month they present a craft and a song to the congregation.

RESULTS

• Thanks to God, the brethren are helping very strongly with each of the activities.
• We are very happy that the congregation is active and enthusiastic since the first part of the year was a little difficult for us as Brother Homero and his family left the congregation in order to meet with a congregation closer to their house. Brother Juan Ángel and his family also left the church in order to meet with another congregation as his daughters wanted to be closer to their boyfriends. Thanks to God, the brethren are still in the church, but it was very difficult for us to accept their decisions.

Thank you Brothers for your help in the work in Escobedo.

May God bless you always.
