New Semester

Our spring semester is well underway now. I'm excited about the classes I am teaching this semester: Romans, Acts, Bible Doctrines 4 (ecclesiology & eschatology), and Ministerial Issues. Please pray for our ministry this semester.

This promises to be a full semester (and year). Here's a few highlights of what's coming up:

• At the beginning of March we have our annual teen rally. This will be the 5th year (I think) for the rally which is patterned after the Harvest Rally in the U.S. Each year we've had anywhere from several hundred to a two or thee thousand teens.
  
• On March 15-19 Ruth and I (along with the boys) will be taking a mission team of about 35 university students to a small town in the state of Veracruz (about 10 hours from Monterrey). We will be holding children's and adult evangelistic campaigns.
  
• In May we will be hosting our second annual pastor's conference. The theme this year will be "Christ-centered ministry."
  
• After the conference in May we will be heading to the U.S. to for a couple of months of furlough.
  

Please pray for each of these events.

Also, please pray for our work at the the mission church. The Lord seems to be blessing and we have had a number of new people and families visit the last few months. Our new pastor, Chuy Alanís, was married in December. Please pray for him and his wife, Edith, as they minister here.
