Soccer ministry at Ejido

Here is an email from planter Joel S. Morales, from "Principe de Paz" Ejido (Playa del Carmen). Mensaje en Español sigue a la traducción.

Hello!

Our congregation is doing well, thanks to God. During VBS we met some families and we are visiting them. One of the families is already attending worship.

We have been ministering with a group of men who struggle with alcoholism. We meet on Fridays at 8 pm in homes. Thanks be to God because God is touching hearts, and there are others who want to become part of the group. I ask that you pray for this new ministry.

We also have two soccer teams, one for kids and one for youth, with the purpose of sharing the message of Christ. This week we played a friendly game with children from the El Mesias Presbyterian Mission. Some new kids came. I also ask that you pray for this new ministry.

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Joel
