The Basilica and the Launch service today!!!

We have had quite a busy week. It has been a good week, and I know next week will be better.



I have to start out with our visit to the Basilica. I have been in Mexico now for almost 12 years, and it was the first time I had ever went to the Basilica. It is usually one of the first places somebody goes when they come to Mexico City. Anyway, it is a pretty awesome sight. With such a Roman Catholic influence here in the city, this is like the most holy of places here in Mexico. Even though I didn't grow up in a Catholic family, or have alot of Catholic friends, I heard alot about the church, but I have learned alot more since I came to Mexico. The only thing I can say is that it is so sad to see how this church has a complete "spell" over the people here. We also came away with some pictures for our video which was pretty good.

We also had our launch service today, March 8,2009. We had 20 people with 3 first time visitors. I say first-timers because we have been having preview services since October, and it has went well so far. We thank God that one of our neighbors, Saida, went today, and we look forward to further developing our relationship with her.

God has been good for us, and this week, Adriana and I will be heading up to Phoenix, AZ, to visit a couple of churches. Please pray that we will see further economic support from these churches.
