The Autumn Colors of I.B.P.

This past Sunday, October 7th, we celebrated 5 years of ministry in Iglesia Bautista Peninsular (Peninsular Baptist Church)! Wow! It's hard to believe that we've been ministering together with Jeff's family for five years now. We've seen many lives changed and families restored. It was amazing to see new families that have been added to the congregration within the past year...and even more encouraging to see families who were present with us from our first service back in 2002 and have thus far remained faithful!

We rented a lovely quinta (a building for a formal/party event) and had a special guest speaker, Doctor Shoemaker, head up our commemorative services.

The church members helped to provide the food, special music...and of course, many friends and family members.
Dr. Shoemaker delivered his messages in English with James as his translator. As a special surprise, Jeff put together a power point presentation of I.B.P from it's birth to its present state. It was fun to watch the people get excited as their pictures flashed over the screen.

The rain did nothing to dampen the people's excitement as we celebrated another year of growth together as a church family. It was a wonderful service that we wish you too could have shared with us. Start making your plans to be in Merida for our 6th anniversary next October. Trust me, you wont want to miss it!

Thank you for supporting the ministries of I.B.P. Because of you, there is a church that is being established.

Slowly but steadily we are growing and experiencing the glorious colors of an autumn harvest!
