Pray for marriages

Last week when we announced the beginning of a study for marriages, only one couple attended.  We were a little discouraged, but kept praying and Praise God!  This week five couples came and we had a really good meeting, ending up with pie and coffee.
 I think this type of study is really new to Guatemalans here in Mayan country, so we will see how they do, but judging from their first reaction, I think they will like it.  Whether they open up or not is yet to be seen, but God's Word is powerful, so we can leave the results up to our Marvelous Saviour!  We are excited and pray for the Holy Spirit to reach deep into the marriages represented at this study, heal hurts and renew lost loves.

Dinner for Couples

God is so, so faithful to always glorify His name through his Word!  We experienced such joy this past Saturday night as we saw how focusing on what He says in his Word about marriage brought tears to the eyes of the couples who attended the dinner especially made for them!
Let me explain...  Twenty couples attended our second "Cena para Parejas".  The purpose of this dinner was to emphasize how important our marriages are to our Lord because he has ordained them to be a picture of Christ and the body of Christ, or believers.  Not much is said here about this subject and most marriages here present the opposite picture.   A young couple who are also ministering in our church produced some professional booklets to give to each couple who attended, with 7 challenges from the "Fireproof" book, in Spanish and written appropriately for this culture.  We took photos of each couple, then gave them a word game to work on as the other couples arrived using verses of Scripture that were written on hearts and placed all around the room.  Our precious Marta, from Las Buenas Nuevas, because of how this particular dinner positively affected her marriage last year, prepared "pepian", a tipical chicken and rice dish which was delicious!  We had a special message, and played Newlywed type of games.  All in all, God made this dinner a wonderful success and we are praying that He will continue to use the concepts from the booklets to speak to the hearts of every couple who attended.
