Christmas..........it's almost here!


We are so thankful for the new families that God has brought to Nueva Vida recently. We have four couples right now that we are trying to bring into the fold. Three of the 4 couples are unbelievers. God is working on their hearts. Two of these couples are folks that our church people have brought to church. The other two are ones that Sam has been counseling. Along with these couples come seven children! Please pray for these new families. Pray for their salvation. Some of these folks are stuggling with alcohol, sexual sins, marriage struggles, etc. We rejoice in knowing that God is the Great Counselor and His Word has all the answers for life's issues!

The Christmas Season is a wonderful outreach opportunity for us here. We have a new family in our church as a result of our Christmas program last year! Our Christmas program this year is about a young shepherd boy that needs an attitude adjustment. He sees Jesus for who He really is and his life was never the same! This will be the focus of our program this year. This weekend all our choirs will begin practicing! We have 25-29 kids in our choirs!! We will be singing some old Christmas carols with a twist this year! Please pray for our drama team. Acting isn't easy. We continue to stretch ourselves each year to do something a little better and bigger than the year before. Pray for our outreach during this time. This is a time when we as a church grow closer together with all the practices and activities. Pray that the fringe folk in our group will become more apart of Nueva Vida. Pray for us as we reach out to our deaf folks. We will need an interpreter for the program as Natalie and Oscar will be performing in special music. Pray with us as we begin to look for a place to rent. Space is starting to become an issue. Pray that we will keep Christ the center of this Season!
