Men of Light Fishing Trip

Men Of Light Fishing Trip, Saturday, Feb 12, 2011

Our first Men Of Light fishing trip included 12 men. It was a great time of fellowship and they did a lot of fishing!  Only one (Cowboy) caught a fish, a 20 pound barracuda.  In spite of the rain and a few queasy stomachs, they had a wonderful time.

We had 60 at worship on Sunday, missed our goal of 70 but we will aim for this goal again this week.  Several first time visitors this week (about 10).  If we can ever get everyone here on the same Sunday we will have over 80!  We will keep inviting and trusting God to bring people. 

We made an offer on the piece of land we had in mind and the owners came back with a counter that was double the price.  What?  I'm not kidding.  We will not counter that offer but will trust God to lead us to another piece.  Real Estate in Mexico is a like a box of chocolates.... you never know what you are getting into.  This did not surprise God, so we will continue to watch and wait!

Lighthouse Church takes a step of Faith!

Sunday, February 6th, Lighthouse Church voted unanimously to make an offer on a piece of land here in Tulum, for the future sight of Lighthouse Church building.  What a step of faith our church has taken.  We are preparing to present the offer this week. The second verse to this victorious step of faith is that we don't have all the funds we need! More on that later.

We have set a goal as staff to exceed 70 in worship one Sunday this month. We have used a texting message each weekend to reach out to friends.  Reaching people is our main focus, and new people are coming to Tulum each day.  The Lord is definitely the "the Lord of the harvest,"  we pray for labors in our fields!  Example:  One of our young ladies brought 5 first time visitors this week!  She is a laborer!
