Greetings and blessings from Guadalajara,
A lot has happened this past month for which we praise the Lord.  Jonathan T. has been helping us especially with the youth.  We had a youth group from a church in PA that helped us with our day camp last week.  We limited the enrollment to 45.  Most of those that attended are from non Christian homes.  We are thankful for the opportunity we had to sow the seed of the gospel with these children.

We also had a day camp for teens. We limited it to 20 and most of them also came from non Christian homes. Be praying for their salvation and that we can reach their families.

In July we celebrated our 4th anniversary as a church. As we start our 5th year we are emphasizing prayer and fasting for this next month . We are encouraging all of the believers to take time at least one day each week for special prayer for our needs as a congregation.

We invite you to join us in prayer for these needs. Here are some of them.
1. A revival among us so that we wouldn't be luke warm. Some of the families have been gradually drifting away from their first love for Christ.  This request is the most important because if it is answered most of the other requests will follow suit.
2. For a spirit of unity and love in our church.
3. For each believer to have a good testimony and for the salvation of their friends and familyi members.
4. For the spíritual growth of the children and youth of the church as well as to be able to reach out to other young people.
5. For the 5 ladies in the church that are supporting and raising their families without the help of a husband. Pray for their needs and for the needs of their children.

In July Marco and Jenni Gudiño became missionary appointees to Mexico. Corrie and Bethamy Anderson are no in language school and plan on being here in February 2009. We are so thankful for these new workers that God is providing for this needy area.

Dick has also been making several new evangelistic contacts.  Pray for the salvation of these contacts.
Thanks for your prayers and help on our behalf and on behalf of the church here!.

Dick and Angie Ludy
