the plan @ eben-ezer

eben-ezer was a mission church started and sponsored by peniel, but they (like us) have become an independent church in the last year. the pastor's name is chuy (pronounced sort of like chewy) and this is also where our good friend santa serves. chuy was in the youth group when the bcm first started going to peniel, and the men of the church mentored him and have entrusted the church to him as pastor. he has a tremendous heart for the Lord and for the people of his community. here is the plan (as of right now)...
  • this team will eat and sleep at peniel, but will work in the town of ejido cosme, which is about an hour away. this is a place where eben-ezer has begun to minister alongside a local church, much like they did in cienegas.
  • sunday school and church sunday morning; in the afternoon the team will go out to cosme to invite people to the activities happening during the week
  • mon-wed mornings the team will travel to cosme and spend the day there in the community. there will be vacation Bible school in the morning for about 50 kids. in the afternoon the team will prayer walk the town, and invite people to the service that night. after the service, everyone will return to monclova for dinner at eben-ezer.
  • thursday has no plan yet, other than leaving to head home

Ms. Christy Hart's fifth grade home room wants you to know that we are praying for you. We're asking Jesus to keep you safe and to help you guide more people to know Him. Have a great mission!
Love Ms. Hart's homeroom
(Except for the boys who want us to say FROM Ms. Hart's home room)
