The Bradley Family - March 2010 Prayer Letter

	MARCH 2010
Greetings from Mexico City. We pray this letter finds you doing well and enjoying the blessings of God on your lives and ministries. February started off with a bang! We had 31 in the services on Feb. 7th. Other than for Friend Day, this is the most that we have had. Praise the Lord for the new stools for the children. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have had enough seats. Also, what a blessing to have our low day at 12. Just a couple of months ago our low day was 4. We are seeing the mission growing and reaching out and this is a blessing. March is full of many exciting things. We are going to complete the “Books of the Bible” campaign and reward our members that can say them with an American supper on March 14th. James told the folks that if they can only say the New Testament they can at least have dessert. March 21st we are planning to have Friend Day. We are looking for a big day and for God to bless with souls accepting Christ. James has invited Pastor David Martinez to preach for us that day. In preparation for Friend Day, we are looking at the “space issues” that are confronting us. Praise the Lord	for one of our supporters who stepped up last month and is increasing their support to rent the third storefront. The second and third storefront will be opened up into one large room giving us space for about 60 people. However, we don’t have 60 chairs. We are needing to buy at least 20 more chairs. They are approximately $20 a piece. Please pray about helping us with this special need. We also need to renovate the new space which would include: painting, installing ceramic tile, and building a wall with a door so that when the garage-style door is open, we have an interior wall to block out the noise from the street. All of the renovation will cost between $1000 to $1200. If anyone can help with these expenses it will be greatly appreciated! We still have the 1st storefront to use for Children’s church and a nursery if necessary. Please pray with us for workers. We need some trained and trustworthy people who can step in and help with some of these extra ministries. March 29 – April 2nd is going to be Vacation Bible School, “The Treasures of the Bible” Please pray that we will reach many new children and their families during this week. We will be having the	closing program on Good Friday, April 2nd. Pray that many of the parents will also hear the Gospel and accept Christ. As you can tell, things are going forward in Tlahuac. We are thankful for each of you and your faithful prayer and financial support. Please pray specifically for: . 1. to reach more men and see them coming to the services. 2. Venancio and Juan to be saved or get right with God and get in church. 3. To see fruit from our English classes. 4. For God to send us a Mexican couple to help us in the work. Michael’s Corner Michael is doing great. He is learning how to play the guitar and improving rapidly. He has been filling in our youth meetings when our normal guitar player can’t come. He has also learned how to play the bass guitar and is hoping that soon we can buy a bass and he can play in the services. Thank you for your love, prayers, and support. We appreciate you! James, Lori, and Michael Bradley
