Sunday, February 1, was a great day! It was very busy and full of blessings. At least 90 attended the Sunday morning service and we had a few first-time visitors. The weather was hot, but beautiful. After the service a good-sized group went to the beach for our first baptism service of 2009. Seven people followed the example of Jesus in baptism. This was a victorious time for each of them, and they were happy, (as you can see in the picture below).A little bit later, Joy and Teddy and I went to Portoviejo, the capital of Manabí province, which is located about 45 minutes away from Manta by car. We had our first meeting with the congregation there. We will be overseeing that ministry while they are in the process of seeking a new pastor. 15 people attended the meeting. Please pray with us about this opportunity.
In the evening we led the second of the new Bible studies that began this weekend. On Friday night 18 people attended the Freedom Class, and we had a great time there. Sunday night was How to Study the Bible for Yourself. 26 people attended (photo above). We had expected around 20; so we were very pleased with the interest in the course.
