TX/Ecuador | Church Ministries International/C&MA

Praise for Pastor Leandro (and wife, Christine) for being installed at Puembo Church as the Associate Pastor last March. We have been mentoring this couple for a few years. Pray that they would have a smooth transition with their two young girls.

Pray for Upcoming Visits (and Presentations) to Supporting Churches as we continue to raise a little more to get to 100% support: April 11-13 (Baytown, TX); April 27 (McKinney, TX).

Pray also for our preparation to General Council. Reatha and I as well as another CMI staff member, Kara, will be representing Church Ministries International at one of the Booths. We encourage those who are attending to stop by! We will be sharing the new 1-2-3 Vision during that week to many visitors (some estimates about 4000).

Serving in Guinea, West Africa

We now have tickets to leave Guinea on June 28. This is not just for a home assignment but as a last time as International Workers. So, we are sorting through our earthly goods and beginning that goodbye process. Thirty five years holds so many relationships. May God give us the stamina and grace and wisdom as we follow His leading these last months.

We ask the whole ASC family to pray for our church in McKinney. They are going through some deep serious crisis. Pray for God's will for the preservation of His church, that Christ's love and peace will reign in the end. Pray for our DS and DEXCOM that God's wisdom will be upon them as they continue to intervene and oversee...

DS David Gomez's sister, Olga Leticia Rodriguez, passed away on April 5th, Saturday. Plans for Memorial Service is ongoing but it will be scheduled sometime this week in the Valley. For those who are interested to know the details, please call ASC Office.
