Our next baptism we are hoping to have next month at this same place! It was beautiful! The beautiful thing is, it's less than a mile away from our house!!

The weekend before Mother's Day, Nega and I realized that our hubby's would be out of town doing missions in Maribel on Mother's Day. So we voted for a family outing that turned into a church outing that was an absolute blast. We didn't realize what was so close to us. A friend made arrangements for what is normally a public weekend gathering place and asked for permission for our group to close it down for our use only! Wow, the turn out and the location couldn't of been more relaxing and wonderful for kids and friends to gather!

I took my camera along and had a great time taking pics. Clyde took some too!

We also had some good friends come to visit from Altamira and we enjoyed a great weekend with them!

After the gathering, new friendships have gone deeper. Enjoy the photos!

Saturday Kids Cell Group

Teaching the kids to paint easter eggs

The new addition to make room for more folks during service!

-+In time for Easter!

Clyde sharing on Easter Morning

Kids lined up with the eggs they found to make sure all were accounted for. About 27 children received eggs and a bag of goodies for Easter. Smiles were big and bright.

Easter Sunday was filled with celebration, new traditions, revelation and remembering the cost Jesus paid for all of us to have the gift of salvation.

Saturday afternoon our kids cell group learned about Redemption and how Jesus paid our price and set us free from the sentence of death. They learned a new tradition of painting eggs. They loved that.

Clyde and Poli added onto the roof to make more room for the church and just in time for Easter Sunday. Sunday morning we woke up bright and early and prepared a breakfast table. Each family brought some bread or fruit and juice or cake. We celebrated with new friends and had a wonderful time together praising the Lord and hearing the story of how Jesus went to the cross. Many children came and we put on an egg hunt for them after the service. They giggled and screamed finding their treasures. It was a great joy to see them all so excited. I could sense the pleasure the Lord has when He sees his children delighting in His blessings.

To close the service out, Poli prayed an emotional prayer filled with thankfulness. Later that night, Poli shared a part of his testimony that is very powerful and proves that Jesus is enough!

The work in Uruara' is growing and we feel God's favor on it.

Please pray for the work in Uruara' and for Poli and Nega as they sow into the lives of those calling Vineyard their home.
