Brent's First Sermon in Spanish
Brent preached July 27th at Iglesia Biblica el Renuevo in Spanish. He preached on Jonah's obstinance and God's mercy. He has a very proud wife! He was amazing!
My parents were missionaries in Asuncion, Paraguay and my dad told the following story on himself about the first sermon he preached all in spanish. He was trying to say that he was embarrassed but was faltering for the correct word and instead said " estoy muy embarazado"... The congregation laughed nervously and the pastor of our church gently stood next to my dad and rescued him with the correct word. We had many good laughs over the years. I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit fills in for us when we falter to make God's message clear!
We are a missionary family serving in Mexico, We are currently serving in Querétaro, Mexico where we are establishing a community center as a means to share the Gospel. We are enjoying ministering to the Mexican people here as we serve in our local church, work alongside our Mexican brothers and sisters in Christ, teach English classes as a form of outreach, and assist with the CAM intern program. We have been married for 21 years and we have three precious children. Caleb is 16, Haley is 14, and Annie is 11. We are from La Vernia, Texas (near San Antonio). We seek to glorify Him, seek Him, and feast on Him.
