April 2017 Prayer Report Happy Easter!

Lots has been going on in Manta!

In March, students from the KC, MO area came from Pleasant Valley Baptist Church to serve alongside the young people from IBB Manta. They did some great work at the La Revancha church and well over 150 people in the community participated and heard the Gospel at the outreach opportunities.

In April, Dr. Chuck Lynch and his wife Linda, visited Manta to teach a seminar on Biblical Counseling. We had great reports of the impact of all that they shared.

We are very grateful.

You can also read our latest prayer report. Easter Sunday, April 16, is the anniversary of the huge earthquake. We're thankful for all that God has done in our ministry since then.

La Revancha Mission First Sunday Service

The first Sunday service for the mission in La Revancha was February 14. There were kids in the Sunday School class and a group of 22 for the worship and preaching. We're thankful for the team who is serving, and for the faith that tells us God is going to put a great group of people together there.

11th Anniversary of IBB Manta

On February 7, 2016 Iglesia Bíblica Bautista de Manta celebrated the 11th anniversary. Our first Sunday service was in 2005. We met in a living room in the Aurora neighborhood. 31 people attended. Over those first couple of years in rented homes, we had some services with just a handful of people. We're thankful for the way God has grown the congregation and led us all toward maturity in Christ.

A highlight of the anniversary service was praying for Pastor Darwin Moreira and his family, along with some of those who feel led to join them in the church planting effort in La Revancha. La Revancha is a large, community outside of Manta where we have felt led to launch a new congregation. Please pray for this new work.
