Georgia Barnette Offering for Louisiana Missions – Day 4

Iglesia Bautista Hispaña

El Alfa y la Omega

Jose Us, Pastor

Joshua 1:9

“Haven’t I commanded: be strong and courageous?

Do not be afraid or discouraged,

for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Hispana-01Iglesia Bautista Hispaña El Alfa y la Omega offers worship and fellowship to the many faces of Louisiana missions which include Hispanic families in the Leesville area and at Fort Polk.  Pastor Jose Us personally feels and leads the challenge to reach the lost Hispanic community for Christ and to provide discipleship opportunities.

This church plant receives support from the sponsoring church, East Leesville Baptist church and Vernon Baptist Association.  Louisiana Baptists are part of this work through the Georgia Barnette State Missions Offering.

Like many other church plants, El Alfa y la Omega received a grant from the state mission offering which assisted with purchase of property and provides pastoral supplements.

As you pray, remember to pray for:

  • Families in the area to continue to respond to the Gospel and to God’s gift of salvation;
  • Follow-up opportunities as a result of Sharing the Peace of Jesus in the New Llano community.  Ask God for continued open doors for church members to visit;
  • Efforts to reach the Hispanic youth in the area;
  • Opportunities for the ministry of the church, the leadership and new believers; and
  • the recently begun English as a Second Language classes to be an effective tool, opening doors to share Christ.

Work among Hispanics is one of our greatest Louisiana mission needs.  Currently there are 16 Hispanic missions receiving state mission’s assistance.

Get out and enjoy some of the cooler temperatures God is blessing us with.  Spend time thanking God for the cooler weather during your prayer time.

Tuesday Evening

I have a “one-day-old” photo of Jillian Bodden is anyone wishes to see it.  Please let me know so I can email it to all of you.

Mrs. Judy Liberto did very well with her surgery this morning.  Pray for her recovery process to go as smoothly.

Mrs. Annie Bell Harrell is somewhat better.  If she continues to do well, she may be able to come home by the end of the week.

Mrs. Avis Sullivan is still doing well.  Keep praying.  We may soon have to pray for her family as they try to get her to rest!

Mrs. Mark Kate LeTard of Hammond passed away and will be buried in Kentwood.  The website will not allow me to get a complete obituary at this time.  I’ll try later and/or tomorrow.
