Casa Blanca
Saturday evening I tore myself away from the SEC championship game to attend a special service with our brothers at the Casa Blanca church in Mexico (it wasn't much of a sacrifice, since UGA got an old-fashioned whooping from LSU). In any case, the occasion was a celebration service for one of our church plants in Matamoros. It is now an official, autonomous church. We have been supporting their pastor, Adolfo Villarreal, for some time now. He has done a wonderful job over there; in fact, that church has now planted 2 churches itself! The service was very warm and lively, and the church was packed to the gills. I trust you will join me in praying for this church, and especially for the 2 church plants. There are many obstacles to planting a New Testament church in Mexico, but it can be done, and Pastor Adolfo is doing it.

Wow! What a wonderful story! It is great to see the Lord working and faithful servants committed to sharing the gospel to a dying world. This goes to show that there is so much to be done and little time in which to do it. Thank you for sharing. I hope you will share pictures someday and keep us updated. I will pray for Pastor Aldolfo, the new churches, and FBC missions.
