The Greatness & Power of God

Church Planting: Abraham Arevalo

Late at night, a believer was praying for guidance for her and her family. After moving from Puerto Rico to Wichita they were ready to settle into this new community and they were eager to find a new home church. That particular night, this lady was asking to Lord to direct her family to a new church where they could serve and worship with other believers. They had been looking for a church for weeks without any success and now they were ready to wait on the Lord and let Him lead the way.

The very next morning, she was amazed when someone knocked at her door with an invitation to a VBS. A group of volunteers from Arkansas arrived to Wichita only two days before and were visiting that area to invite children to VBS. They did not know they had a divine appointment that morning and that God would use them to be the answer to that woman's prayer.

Can you see the greatness of God? Can you see his Love and Grace? If we are willing to follow Him, even though we do not deserve it, he will use us to be the answer to the prayer of someone else.

This summer God used the churches and partners of our Association to touch the lives of many Hispanics in our community. Volunteer mission teams, summer missionaries and local churches came together and did an amazing evangelistic outreach in different parts of our association. Vacation Bible Schools, small groups, door to door evangelism, musical concerts and block parties where successful only because God's people where ready to serve Him unselfishly. We see the future of Hispanic Work in the Heart of Kansas with great excitement and expectations. We pray that during the coming fall the Lord of the harvest will bring more laborers to this field.
