Here are a couple of quick updates from the Pastors as they give thanks for all of you who pray and support them.
On behalf of them, Thank you!
PASTOR GREGORIO HERNANDEZ, Lead Pastor
Hello. I want to express my gratitude
for all that has taken place here in the Cofradía ministry. I’m especially grateful
for the huge blessing of finally having a Bible school extension campus
available at such a low cost, but more importantly I’m thankful for the
opportunity to learn so much about the history of the Christian church. That
particular course has required us to investigate more deeply the Church’s
roots, which has been a challenge for us all because we see how much we need to
grow as students in so many areas, especially in reading, research, and
grammar. So, it has not only been a study of Church history or of the Bible but
rather something more profound, and the more we learn the more we surely deepen
our Christian roots.
We have talked about discipling new
believers. There are some new
believers participating in this opportunity of the Bible school and it has come
at just the right time for them to deepen their spiritual growth and strengthen
their faith. This is in line with
our desire to make Disciples of Christ as we continue to extend the Kingdom of
God through the students as they are studying. Later, when they are finished with the courses, we are sure
by faith that they will continue on in the Great Commission of making Disciples
of Christ.
As a
whole, we see what the Church in general is continually growing through the
provided resources. It is the Church that is benefitted by the establishment of
this extension campus and by our being encouraged to grow.
On another note, I also want to briefly
mention the Elder's Retreat that took place recently. It was called “Foundation
for Elders.” We are confident that it was edifying and challenging for all, and
it leaves us more aware of the responsibility we have for the health of the
church with the goal of being part of its growth.
Thank you to all of you for your dedication
to taking time to pray and for the resources you invest in this ministry. May
God prosper you all with great spiritual blessings!
Forever grateful,
Pastor Gregorio Hernández Galván, wife
Maty Espinoza González, and sons
Brothers, it is my
pleasure once again to write you this letter to greet you and to wish you
wellbeing.
We are well, thanks be
to God.
Permit me to let you
know that in the last few months—I believe since April to the present—we have
been involved in a training program that for me has been a motivation to deal
with myself in several areas, such as organizing my time, writing more
frequently, researching, and even needing to learn to use a computer. This
training comes to us online on Tuesdays at 5:00 pm and lasts three to four
hours for two classes.
I believe I am
enjoying it and at the same time learning new understanding I did not have
before about the Christian Church and its history. But more importantly for me,
this has been a great help in being able to share the Word of God with new
believers in the mountains—with the Cora—where we are visiting once a week. We
are also gathering there once a month to work on construction of a meeting
space for our visits.
Brothers, I rejoice
greatly in the name of the Lord for what He is doing in my life. I love you all
and thank you for helping me to grow more and more in the Lord.
