How have you seen God working in your life?
I see God working in my life through contact with the Bible and the practice of prayer. I feel your grace and great mercy on me. It renews my feelings and thoughts, takes care of my heart and frees me from fear. Whenever I face great challenges and my heart is troubled, God reminds me of the Gospel message and makes me look at the Cross of His Son. Through the Gospel, God daily reinforces my identity: I am a son loved by Him.
How have you seen God working in your family?
With the beginning of the church planting, our family moved to another city and many things were changed in the family routine. Our children changed schools, my wife left her job and we started to live in a new context, with new people around. But God takes care of us in every detail. Our children are well adapted with new friends and the new school. My wife got a new job, and in all of these things, God kept our hearts by holding us closer together as a family. Home life is a great pleasure for us!
How have you seen God working in your church?
A year ago, when we gathered the core group for the first time, we were a small group of dreamers willing to cooperate with what God wanted to do in our city. In that time we saw God bringing people to join us, we had the joy of baptizing some people and our Sunday mornings are marked by the sweet presence of God that makes us celebrate his powerful deeds among us and we grew through the biblical exposition. I look at things that have happened in that short time and I can only say that the grace of God did everything.
