“In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:20).
Dear Family & Friends,
Thank you so much to those who were praying for the Evangelistic Outreach last month. We had a great three days of services, ministry to the community, and fellowship. Although we had very few visitors in our services, we had several people from the congregation who gave of their time to be here for all three services. They were the ones most blessed by the Lord. Since then, we have begun to see more spiritual growth & commitment among them. We are excited to see what God will do in their lives.
Just a few weeks after the outreach, we presented our first members of the church. We have a total of seven members now, with a few more to be presented after our first baptismal service. On September 4, we will hold our Sunday service at the beach, where three (possibly more) people will be baptized. We are looking forward to this time of rejoicing and fellowship together. Thank you for your continued prayers for the growth of the people of San Vicente.
Daniel continues to teach music classes every Friday. As I sit here typing, I can hear the vocal exercises of the young girls that come for voice lessons. There are several new guitar, bass, piano, and drum students, also. We are seeing these young people with an excitement to learn an instrument in the hopes of someday using it to worship the Lord. Jonathan, as well, loves to hang out with Daniel as he gives lessons, watching for an opportunity to play the instruments himself, or just enjoying listening to the music and hanging out with the kids. On those days when he has to stay inside with me, I usually have to calm a crying fit, as he would much prefer to be in the midst of the lessons.
One of Jonathan’s favorite activities these days is “helping” to wash dishes. He loves to get up on the step ladder and attempt to rinse the dishes as one of us washes them. He has to help clean the sink afterward, as well. Of course, water gets everywhere & he always has to have a dry shirt afterwards, but he loves to help. He enjoys watching Daniel as he works on a construction project, too, or watering the plants. One day after church he turned on the outside faucet and was watering the plants all by himself! He definitely keeps us busy!
As for myself, I am mostly just trying to survive the heat of the summer while pregnant. I am also learning more about home canning. I have already canned some tomatoes, and am now working on jams with quince, peaches, figs, and whatever other produce we are being given. We are blessed to have a never-ending supply of tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, and soon, peaches.
We thank you, again, for being part of our lives. We are so pleased that you allow us into your homes and lives. Thank you for your prayers and faithful giving. May God bless each and every one of you.
In Christ,
Daniel, Angela & Jonathan Camacho
