Last year we were able to touch over two thousand teenagers and young adult through our youth outreach events. Our goal is to continue to reach even more this 2014. We do this through hip-hop and Rap concerts that include Christian dramas, Christian rap singers, one-on-one evangelism teams, bibles and tracts distribution, and a gospel message. We will have our first event in March. Please help us pray for permits and a great harvest for God's glory this 2014. We spend most of our budget money paying for the sound system, and since this year we feel led to have even more youth outreach events, we are beginning to ask the Lord to provide for our own sound system. Would you please help us pray for these matters? 

In 2013 we began praying and asking the Lord to show us where and how to start a new church. The Lord gave us the vision to start two brand new churches instead of one. One of them will be a traditional church in a remote area of Matamoros with hardly any churches around. The Lord in His great grace has provided the property, building, and a pastor (he graduated from our Bible institute, and a leader of our ministry). The building needs a lot of work, so please help us pray as we begin the remodeling process.  

The second church will an urban church. Every time we have our youth outreach events we ask teenagers, "why don't you go to church? They always have the same response, "we don't feel welcome at church because of the way we dress and look, and the kind of music we listen to." Most of them dress with baggy clothes, have tattoos, wear caps, and they only listen to hip-hop music. Thus, the Lord impressed in our hearts the need to start an urban/hip-hop church to reach out to these kids. Please help us pray for God's wisdom on this matter, and for God's provision for a place to start this church. We are planning to have our very first urban church service at one of our churches this coming february 22nd. Help us pray that they feel welcome and "safe" to come to church. 

Interesting enough they will come to the bible institute and hang out with us for long periods of time (we usually have our meetings and planning for the youth events there). However, they won't come to church. Please help us pray!

The work continues at Bosque church. Our goal is to finish the second floor where three sunday school classrooms, a kitchen, a fellowship hall, and a storage room will be. Please continue to help us pray for God's provision.
