Please Pray for Effective Outreach

Tomorrow night (Friday), the Mitchells will be hosting an "End-of-the-English-Class-Semester Party". At our last get-together to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, we invited all of our contacts and ended up with a house full of 50 people! We are hoping for an equal number of people, if not more. Please pray especially for one person who is recently thinking about spiritual things and has questions. We are so grateful to have the Camrose Team coming to our home to help provide opportunities to practise English conversation. Many Mexicans in our area have studied English but don't have many chances to speak to English speakers. They want to hang on to everything that they have learned in English and are excited about this coming party and opportunity for conversation.
The photos I've posted are of the following: Photo 1) A beautiful building in a small alley near the Basilica of the Virgin Guadalupe. We are thinking of modeling our exterior paint color scheme at the Retreat Center after this handsome building. Photo 2) Our kitchen. It was renovated a few years ago and is beautiful but small when we are having a full camp during the summer. We have another kitchen in the new dormitory building but it is an empty room with plumbing roughed in. The cooks amaze me with how they prepare meals in our current kitchen with just this one regular sized fridge, a regular sized stove, and a couple extra burners outside the kitchen for the largest pots. The gentleman in the photo is Jim Crozier from Camp Caroline. He was here a couple weeks ago to advise us on how to run a camp/retreat center facility. Photo 3) I understand that tomorrow, the Camrose Team will be painting the exterior of this small building. It is a tiny house, just one bedroom with an attached bathroom. I believe that it was intended to be the maid's quarters when the Retreat Center had previously belonged to another owner. We have been using this room for our guest speakers to enjoy a bit of extra quiet a couple steps away from the main house. Photo 4) English classes on a night with only a few people attending. After the Spanish bible study, we finished the evening with a cake in celebration of one of the ladies' birthdays. These people and their friends and families will come to our Matthew Party tomorrow night. A Matthew Party is when Christian and non-Christians get together and God provides opportunities for the non-Christians to discuss spiritual things with the Christians in an informal way. This is an important part of church planting - building relationships with our neighbors. I'm especially hoping that my one neighbor brings her son again. At Thanksgiving, we were careful that he was included. He had lots of fun with the teens who were hanging out on our patio but was too shy to come into the house to get some food! We'll be watching for him so he won't be leaving hungry again:)
