"Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness."
(Psalm 115:1)
Acambaro, Mexico
On schedule for Saturday was the Leadership Summit 2009 (selected speakers). It was raining quite a bit, so only about 40 people showed up, but I believe they were the exact 40 that God wanted there that day. The team was late getting to the church because they had a flat tire on their way there. However, since it was raining, the people were also late, so it all worked out!
All the messages were well received and convicting to many of the leaders in attendance, especially the message from Wes Stafford (Compassion International president), who shared his testimony. Please pray that the leaders will take what they learn and actually implement them in their respective churches.
After the conference, Armando showed the movie "Fireproof" (in Spanish), with a follow-up message the next morning on love & respect and Ephesians. Many were moved to tears by the movie, but there was one particular couple there who had been married for 20 years, were separated for 8 years, and just a week ago, had gotten back together and here they were watching a movie about reconciling a broken marriage and hearing a message on love & respect! I believe God is at work in this couple's life and redeeming the marriage He meant for them to have!
That afternoon was the prayer workshop (hindrances to prayer), which challenged many about their prayer life.
After that, many requested to see "Fireproof" again so they showed the movie once more and again, more tears were shed. Please pray that those tears will turn to action...where they will seek to change their marriages to one that honors God.
Up next:
Monday - You Can Tell It (evangelism seminar) in Queretaro.
Tuesday - You Can Tell It (evangelism seminar) in Celaya.
Hopefully, I will be able to talk to Armando again for updates in the next day or so (calls don't always go through). Plus, they are not sure yet where they will be staying after the evangelism seminar. Please pray for rest and health for them...Armando was not feeling well (probably from lack of sleep) and he'll need stamina as the evangelism seminar takes 4.5 hours to cover.
