God is doing in El Paso. Much has happened since our conference in March. The conference body as a whole and the El Paso church has had to rise to a whole new level in order to facilitate what God has done in church planting and local evangelism.
It has been a very busy time moving couples to and from cities and establishing new couples in nations. On a congregational level we are experiencing incredible breakthrough in our church. There has been an incredible wave of souls being saved and added unto the congregation.
Every event that we have done has pretty much seen double digit souls being saved. There is a constant flow of new couples, young people and teenagers being added to the congregation. We have been seeing a real wave of teenagers coming into the church and beginning to catch a fire for what God wants to do in their lives.
Our park outreaches have been extremely fruitful as we set up music groups and then feature Mi Vida Loca which is a simple gang play that really hits home where people live. The results have been very powerful as 34 were saved two weeks ago and then another 17 last week.
We began our 3-on-3 basketball tournaments once again and we saw our greatest response ever with a great crowd of visitors in the church service that night and a good number of young people there to play basketball.
We sent 28 of our teenagers to the South Texas bootcamp this year, and as they came back many of them were water baptized. We saw 30 people baptized and close to half of them were teenagers.
We are truly excited about all that God is doing in the El Paso congregation. This year we will celebrate 30 years of ministry as a congregation. What all began in the heart of Pastor Warner 30 years ago when God put El Paso in his heart has come to fruition in a very powerful way. We will be moving the wall of our sanctuary back very soon and we anticipate that God is going to fill this place with many souls. We are looking forward to a great year of soul winning.
