Bienvenidos
Dear Pastors & Friends:
Once again we would like to express our sincere appreciation for your prayers, cards, emails, and those of you who gave toward the funeral expenses. We appreciate your thoughtfulness so much.
This month (September) has been hard for Aimee, since Esperanza was suppose to be born the first 
week of September by c-section. She has found encouragement from Proverbs 3:5-6 and Philippians 4:8, Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. We still need your prayers and words of encouragements as the healing process continues. Some days are better than others for her, but she has been taking one day at a time.
The end of July, Jorge had the opportunity to visit Veracruz for the third time. However, this time was a different visit than before. One of our deacons,
Pablo Jimenez took over the church that is there, and Jorge took Pablo, his family, and two other men from our church. Jorge had the privilege of being there and leading Pablo’s installation service. While we miss this family greatly, we are so thankful that they are obeying the call of God on their life, and look forward to seeing how God will use them.
During Jorge’s last visit to Veracruz, he got stopped by the cops on the way there and on the way
back, so this time he took a lawyer we have in our church along with another man, and thankfully wasn’t stopped by the police at all. The day after Jorge got back in the city, which was a Tuesday, and we ran some errands for the church, and got stopped by the police four times, yes, I said four times, all within a time span of 4 hours. Since Tuesday is our non-driving day, the police can tell from our car tag what day we can’t drive. While we have a zero sticker that we pay for which enables us to drive every day, but at a quick glance, the police don’t see that, thankfully every cop was nice, and really just doing their job.
Two months ago, we started meeting with a young lady, Naomi Delvalle, who was a neighbor to one of our church members. She was having great problems in her marriage, and was ready to ask her husband for a divorce, and sought out help. After several weeks of sharing Scriptures and Biblical principles, she realized that her greatest need wa
s the Lord Jesus Christ, and accepted him as her Lord and Savior. It’s been such a joy to see her grow and learn more about the Lord. She has decided not to leave her husband and continue biblical counseling. Her husband has noticed a change in her, and he’s interested in knowing what has cause this change. He is a skeptic, so Noemi is learning how to share her faith and how to truly love her husband. Please pray for her husband’s (Gerardo Rodriguez) salvation.
Jorge, Aimee, Jorge Robert and Alison Rodriguez
