News from Nicte Ha

The following are excerpts from the report Pastor Manases May Can made regarding work at Nicte Ha "Mount of Olives" church during September and October 2006.

"Pastoral work: In September my family and I made 12 visits (for a variety of needs). In October we made 8 pastoral visits for counseling and discipleship.
We have been dealing with the flooding problem in our lot.

Evangelism: Preparation and implementation of the project "My Hope." Prayer meeting to pray for the project. We presented the message of the gospel in two sermons and five people made the decision to follow Christ.

Discipleship: "Abundant Light" course started with 9 students who had previously completed "abundant Life" course. We continue lesson on John with 3 families, and we continue lessons on "How to Preach" with 3 students. We have had craft lessons Thursday evenings.

Interpersonal relations: On Sept. 16 we had a "Mexican Night" and we invited friends and neighbors for a celebration of Mexican Independence. We had music and games. The Women's Circle has visited 4 homes to invite them to continue attending church. The youth had a fellowship meeting and Bible study on the beach. We had a cleaning day at the church.

Program and Worship: We had elections for the Board (Directiva). With Rev. Josue Chan officiating on Oct. 22, we received five new members, celebrated communion and had the presentation of a baby.

We give thanks to our God and Father for his faithfulness and kindness towards the Nicte-ha congregation. It is our desire to glorify him for his wonders in the transformation of humankind and his church. We have seen how our ministries are taking shape, people are participating according to their gifts.
We must admit that we have fallen short in other areas, and so we continue to pray for our work in evangelism, stewardship of our income, which has been stagnant. However, our trust is set on the Lord who moves hearts and builds his kingdom. To him be the glory.

Sincerely,

Manases May
Pastor - Planter
"Mount of Olives" Congregation, Nicte Ha
