Celebrate!
¡Cristo vive! Easter Sunday we are bringing together various Bible studies, small groups and friends to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection here in the neighborhood. The time will consist of a potluck, an ice-breaker, singing, and a short reflection on the meaning of Christ’s resurrection. Several members of one of the associated small groups here will be baptized earlier in the morning, so we are particularly excited to rejoice in that together. Additionally, for many who attend, it will be the closest thing to a non-Catholic service they’ve been to. We’re praying for God to use this time to spur further questions and commitment and that it would be a contrast to the normal festivities in the neighborhood, which are based more on tradition than on God’s life-giving truth. Please hold us up in prayer this Sunday.

Wedding Reunion
We are still privileged to stay in touch with Comunidad Bíblica, our former church, on a semi-regular basis. The church is growing and doing well. They baptized 7 new believers a few weeks ago, and celebrated a wedding last Saturday, between an long-time friend and a young Polish lady. It was a joy to share in Hiram’s joy, and to meet many guests from all over: France, Switzerland, and …Seattle.

Family stuff
Drew, Gavin & Fiona: Our kids are growing like crazy, it seems, based on how much milk they’re drinking! We are thankful, though, because that’s what God made kids to do. They’re growing on the inside as well, learning at school, sometimes with lots of growing pains. Gavin and Fiona are almost as fluent in Spanish as their big brother. And we’re thankful for the “inside growing” that’s spiritual as well, as they are learning both spiritual facts (Bible verses, stories) and habits (prayer, obedience to God). We think our biggest mission field is our kids, even as we don’t neglect our neighborhood.

Help Wanted
(Two things)
- Last month in our mention of our support shortfall, we neglected to actually link to the FIM giving page. So here it is, twice!
- Another fun need, would be for anyone interested in helping with a flag football camp this July. We’d like to take a week for 1) serious training 2) recruiting new players 3) sharing the Gospel. If you enjoy sports, and especially if you have experience with football and would like to help teach kids from ages 6 to 17, let us know!
