Marco and Ana Zapien-April 2015
“The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.” Sent by Horeb Baptist Church, Navolato, Sinaloa, Mex. Jim Elliot We are grateful to the Lord for the opportunity He gives us to see what He is doing in the Hispanic ministry at Front Range Baptist. We know this is the result of many churches who have a heart for missions and support us faithfully in prayer. Serving under the ministry of Front Range Baptist Church Pastor Jeff Redlin Fort Collins, CO FrontRangeBaptist.org We want to share what has happened in the last three months. Mission Agency MGMI Dr. David Shumate Director www.mgmi.org We are grateful for the American church which always encourages us to continue the Hispanic ministry and we rejoice together when souls are saved. We still see the Lord´s hand in saving souls and more visitors have come to church as a result. We have had an attendance of 40-45 people each Sunday. We praise the Lord for His goodness. Last December we left for Mexico in order to renew our visas. While crossing the border we began to experience some drawbacks to obtain legal permission for our vehicle. We could see a clear opposition from the enemy to lead us into discouragement and concern, but we entrusted our cause to the Lord and He took care of everything. We not only received permission for our car, but also received our visas all in one day! To God be the glory! In January, with our visas in hand, we headed back to the mission field to continue the ministry that the Lord has given us. In February we decided to have a couple´s dinner at church. It was a great time of fellowship, and we also had a lovely message from the Word of God. Also I had the privilege of going to Phoenix, Arizona to participate in our mission agency´s annual conference. On Sunday, March 15, we held a special service called Friend Day. It was an special day where members invited their friends to come to church that Sunday. Several souls were saved and we had an attendance of 77 people. During the week my wife disciples some sisters from our church and then she goes with me on visitation. With the growth of the ministry we have seen the need to start preparing leaders to help us teach others, fulfilling what Paul taught Timothy in 2 Timothy 2.2. We reiterate our appreciation for your faithful contribution to the missionary work and for your prayerful support. God bless you richly, The Zapien Family Friend Day
