a month of firsts

This has been an interesting month so far and we have only just begun. This month is full of firsts for us. At the end of Feb. and the beginning of March I officiated my first funerals, two right in a row (both came to our church for a time until their sickness wouldn't allow them to come). Last week we were robbed for the first time at the church, after a year in our new space. Yesterday I had to ask someone to leave the fellowship, a first for me as a pastor. And at the end of the month I will be officiating my first wedding as a pastor. Exciting, emotional and difficult times. The Lord is doing or getting ready to do something great amongst us, because there is ton of spiritual warfare. Please pray for the believers here in Ica, they are experiencing many family problems here recently. Lots of marriages in turmoil and inner family problems, also some drama amongst the church body. The good thing is the enemy is attacking, which means the Lord counts us worthy to be able to resist the woes of the devil. Give us strength Lord to continue on for your glory. Amen.
