It means a lot to us. For the last month, we have continued in our weekly ministries and we have been discipling a few people throughout the month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 3rd, we had a wonderful teen rally with 27 teenagers in attendance. Our guest speaker was Brother Toby Garcia from Gospel Light Baptist Church in Rio Rancho, NM. He did a great job! Teenagers made decisions and the gospel was presented. To God be the glory!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 4th, we had Vision Sunday where I got to introduce the theme for the year to our church. It\u2019s out of Philippians 3:10 \u201cThat I may know him,\u201d. It is my prayer that myself and my church will know the Lord Jesus Christ even more than we already know Him. Then from January 25th-29th, we had our annual Winter Revival with Pastor Matthew Wootan from True Light Baptist Church Los Lunas, NM. Throughout the week, we had a few visitors and a lot of returning people who have been out of church for a while. We praise the Lord for that! Please continue to pray for our people! They lack knowledge of the truth of God\u2019s Word.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 27th, we were able to welcome a little one to the family temporarily via foster care! She has been a great joy and a blessing to have in our family! Please continue to pray for us as we adjust to our new roles and schedules with our new addition!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please continue to keep us and the work here in your prayers!
