THE LORD THY GOD IS WITH THEE

Clouds over Nuevo Progreso
A recent tropical depression originating in the Gulf of Mexico near Nuevo Progreso flooded an area of northern Mexico and southern Texas.  Even though there is a lot of standing water in town and roads are nearly impassable in the colonias, the work of the church goes on.  Services are being conducted at the usual times in various locations throughout town.

Pastor Gerardo and his wife Miriam send the message that God is in control; and even though there are trials and difficulties God is good.

Please pray for the church and the congregation as they go through this unusual and unexpected weather event.  The enormous new flood water drainage system in this border town has never been completed.  An up-to-date water treatment plant and most of the drain pipes to take standing water away sit idle and unused.  It could take weeks for things to return to normal in Nuevo Progreso.  Meanwhile, God's word will be preached and the church will continue to be blessed.

"Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."  Joshua 1:9
