Over the last 3 months, Israel and I have organized a special equipping seminar for the men of the Tierra Firme Church. We held the seminar on Friday night once per month: October, November and December. We call this group of men "Hombres de Valor" which has a double meaning in Spanish – "Men of Courage" or "Valuable Men." Over the last three months we have based our training on Romans 8: More than Conquerors! We encouraged one another to look at our lives as Christian men from God’s perspective, and not from the perspective of the world. Through Jesus Christ, God has made us more than conquerors over condemnation, guilt, negativism, laziness, loss, hurt, worry, materialism, passivity and ignorance. Each lesson was filled with biblical examples, which brought out great conversations about how to live out our victory over these things. As a result, several of the men have taken greater initiative in the spiritual leadership of their families, their cell groups and the projects within the congregation. For example, one of our "Hombres de Valor," Alfredo Hernandez, has become a co-leader in our cell group. This has given us the ability to multiply our cell group within the next couple of months. So, please continue to pray for the men of the Tierra Firme Church as they live as "Hombres de Valor" in a city that needs true examples of integral followers of Christ: Alfredo, Luis Gonzalez, Jorge, Angel, Miguel Angel, Oscar, Luis Paco, Buenaventura, Porfidio, Jonny, Jaime and Froylan.
