April 2010
Dear Friends and Family,
Thanks!
We Praise God for all that He is doing through your prayers. We have been praying for a new location and God has provided a response quickly. In February president David Little from Baptist Church Planters spoke at a Spanish Pastors Conference here in Phoenix. The Lord used him to help us secure a new location. That will enable the church plant where we are working to jump forward and into effectively ministering in the Spanish and English community. We are merging with a Baptist Church that has a building but lacks people and leadership. We have people and leadership, but no building. On Sunday March 28th, two small congregations voted to merge together and become Faith Baptist Church with services in English and Spanish. We are excited to be a part of this progress. It is both exciting and overwhelming. Please pray for a smooth transition and that we may be able to develop a solid infrastructure that would benefit future ministry of the church. We believe this church could be used by God to play a pivotal role in establishing multi-cultural churches in Phoenix.
Wayne is involved as a chaplain for Spring Training Baseball for players and coaches in English and Spanish. He has had 35 in the English Services and 20 in the Spanish services. He is freely given the privilege to share the Gospel and teach the Bible. Please pray that people would give their lives to Christ those that already have a personal relationship would grow spiritually.
Wayne had the opportunity to return to Elyria, OH and receive more training and resources from Baptist Church Planters. A generous donor provided airfare for him and two other pastors from Phoenix. They were blessed and encouraged through the meetings. Wayne was also able to visit some friends from the Elyria area where there sending church, First Baptist is located.
Shanna is busy with homeschooling, directing music in the church, childrens programs, and teaching a ladies bi-lingual SS Class. She also may soon start tutoring some players in English. She recently had her sister and family in town from Michigan and their children enjoyed spending time together.
Rylee, Gloria and Claire are healthy and continue to be a blessing to both our family and those in the church. It is a privilege to be their parents and we pray that we will be godly and responsible in their spiritual upbringing. They are a constant source of joy and blessing.
