“Forget Not All His Benefits!”
“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Psalm 103:1-5
God is so good, isn’t he? I wanted to take this time to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! Never forget the wonderful benefits & blessings that God almighty has bestowed upon you. May he continually receive all praise, honor and glory!!

Flooding In Colombia!
Colombia has been the victim of severe flooding recently. Many people have died, even more have lost their homes. These are people that need Christ! Will you pray with me over this situation?
Here’s the news article:
Colombia Declares State Of Public Calamity Over Rains
Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos on Thursday declared a state of public calamity in 28 of the country’s 32 departments to deal with emergencies caused by this year’s rainy season that caused the death of 136 Colombians so far.
The government plans to decree other measures in the coming days that will help authorities to release emergency funds for the victims of floods and landslides that damages the houses or land of 1.3 million people.
The United States government on Thursday announced to pay $50 thousand as the first of a number of payments to help Colombia deal with what is called the worst rainy season in 60 years.
Earlier this week, Santos warned that the Colombian government has reached its financial limits to assess the emergencies and called on the international community and private sector to donate money for victim relief.
This rainy season started in March and is expected to last until 2011. According to meteorologists, the prolonged rains are the result of meteorological phenomenon “La Niña.”
Pray for Our Family Conference!
The Spanish church that I pastor will be hosting our first Conferencia Familiar (Family Conference) over the first weekend in December. If you don’t mind, please pray that people would come, that their families would be helped, and that Jesus would be glorified. That’s what it’s all about!
