Morning: Church Planting in Puerto Rico
SBC Life Feb/Mar Issue front cover story on Luis & Lourdes Rodriguez. Email vperry@sbc.net for copy of article.
LUIS RODRIGUEZ is a Hispanic church planting
missionary and pastor of Baptist Church of Coamo in Puerto
Rico. As the only Southern Baptist church in the mostly
Catholic city of Coamo, Luis ministers to the community
through the church and through the Coamo Christian
Academy. Through preaching, praying with members, and
counseling students and parents, Luis seeks to share the Word
of God so that they will have the opportunity to choose to
follow Christ. Luis and his wife, LOURDES, appreciate your
prayers and your faithful participation through the
Cooperative Program (CP) which give them the ability to
effectively share Christ in Puerto Rico. Please include Luis and
Lourdes in your prayers this week.
Acts 3:2-6 And a man who was lame from his mother's womb was carried there and placed every day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so he could beg from those entering the temple complex. When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple complex, he asked for help. Peter, along with John, looked at him intently and said, "Look at us." So he turned to them, expecting to get something from them. But Peter said, "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I have, I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!"
Evening: Jesus Film Library
Upon receiving evangelism/literature training with a group of
eight people from his South American church, Pastor
MANUEL CASTILLO decided to loan Arabic/Spanish
language versions of the JESUS film. At a local Arabic bakery,
the pastor and his team found a group of men interested in
borrowing the JESUS film. They gave their names and phone
numbers to Pastor Manuel so he could return the following
week to pick up the videos. With their names on a list, the
pastor went into other stores, looking for more people who
might want to borrow the videos. He met some men in one
store who definitely weren’t interested until they spotted the
names on the pastor’s list. “If they are borrowing the video,
then we want to see it, too,” they said. The Gospel is being
shared across South America, thanks to your commitment to
CP. Pray for the borrowers/viewers to become believers.
STATEMENT: That’s exciting! Imagine having the ability to help someone so dramatically. In reality, we do have such ability. When we share the
Gospel of Christ and give so that others can devote more time to witnessing, people receive the new life which replaces spiritual death.
