Church was a busy time yesterday at Lighthouse. Children's ministry was much bigger than I expected. We had 6 children, 4 nursery age and 2 Little Lights. We are now in 2 private rooms away from the Adult worship area. We thought this would be great but 3 of our nursery age didn't think it was that great and cried most of the morning. Renee and I took turns trying to mend the brokenhearted. We recruited 2 more adults (which could also speak Spanish), and this helped the tears somewhat. We are praying for a local person who would be the nursery coordinator, and dividing the Nursery area into babies and toddlers. Moving the Little Lights (4 year olds - 6th grade) down stairs to the restaurant entrance. These changes will allow me to teach the children with little or no interruptions. I love adjusting to growth and we move ahead.
Praise Worship for Lighthouse Church was wonderful. We had 36 in attendance with one new family from the local area. Praise team improves every week and new members seem to join us each week. Daniel and Andrea are doing an awesome job leading and growing our worship team. Terry preached the second teaching in his series "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Many next steps were made to think more of others and to do something kind this week.
Had another Mission Team commit to coming this Summer. Coryell Community Church from Texas will join us in August. Their project will be rebuilding a wall that was destroyed during the 2009 hurricane for a widow in our church. Our local project with the Victory Outreach Men's Rehab Center continues as we prepare to assist them in building a tower for their water tank.
Terry and I meet later today with a former head of Religious Affairs in Playa Del Carmen on knowing how to get our religious status started. Please keep us in your prayers as we try to become a registered religious organization here in Mexico.
