CARLOS FAMILY SUPPORT
MISSIONARIES IN HAITI
We have asked you to pray for our BEME-LA missionaries in Dominica Republic because of the dire situations in Haiti. This full-time missionary couple (Davy and Natalie Lloyd) were killed in Haiti by gangs. They are not with our mission, but it does emphasize the dangers in these island countries. Please pray for their families.
NEW CHURCH
IN LIMA, PERU
The vision for a new church began in my heart in 2014. We began to pray and in May 2016 we began formal services from the Baptist Grace church. Thank you, from the beginning there were certain priorities for us regarding this new church, among them the exposition of the word of God. Also a church centered in the gospel. Which means that we want to have before us the 2 main truths of the gospel we are sinners that the grace of God is great. Also, our desire is that grace always have pastors who seek to shepherd the hearts of their members we hope that God will continue to build This church as a light for the clarification of the gospel in the center of Lima. Brothers it is up to us every day to be faithful to the Lord to persevere in faith every day of our church today. We are Grace!
