“I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.” Philippians 4:18
“The apostle assures them that God did accept, and would recompense, their kindness to him. He did accept it: It is an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. Not a sacrifice of atonement, for none makes atonement for sin but Christ; but a sacrifice of acknowledgment, and well-pleasing to God. It was more acceptable to God as it was the fruit of their grace than it was to Paul as it was the supply of his want. With such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
Matthew Henry
We praise God for the opportunity to serve Him in this ministry to reach the Immigrant community of DeSoto county Mississippi with the gospel of God in Jesus Christ.
We want to express our thanks to all of you who have and are supporting us, coming alongside of us in this very important and special ministry in all of its aspects.
Recently, our financial support has decreased because some of our contributors had a commitment for 2 years. I hesitate to mention this, because God has shown His faithfulness over and again for our needs. Please pray with us about an increase in our financial support, so that we can continue to meet are daily and monthly obligations in the way that will be honoring to the Lord.
Thank you for your prayers, Jaime & Sere Loayza.

Sere had a beautiful time to translate Edith at Grove Christian Academy.
Edith shared about Venezuela and the political situation Venezuela is living to the elementary and middle schoolers. It was a great opportunity for the students to know about the country and know why Edith and her family are here.
Personal Discipleship with Miguel
Miguel and I continue to study The Westminster Shorter Catechism. And this month, we will start to study Ephesians. Grateful to God to let me see His work on Miguel life.
Spanish Bible Study
We finished the Epistle of Ephesians, what a blessing was studying this epistle exactly for a year! And also we finished Series for 7 weeks “Making Disciples”. We celebrated that, and what a better idea to have a graduation. Each person who completed the series received a Diploma from Christ Fellowship as a recognition of their participation.
Another great news, is that we have started to study the Epistle of Galatians!
Please continue praying in order to God prepare our hearts for the new study and continue making Disciples.
Prison ministry at Hernando Jail.
Saturday, October 27th at Hernando Jail. We continue teaching about the Gospel of Mark.
David and I had a huge surprise. David told me that he prayed in order to have more inmates in the Bible Study last week . David told me: “Jaime, I asked God for just 4 more”. And God surprised us with 20 inmates!
Another amazing story was that one the inmates recognize me. Before summer, I went with Ps. Clint Wilcke and Daniel Stanphil to a funeral in Hernando from a man who was shot in Memphis. That day I met the family members. One of them, was this guy who told me at the Jail: Sir, do you recognize me? You were at the funeral of my brother. God’s sovereignty and providence allowed me to meet him for that moment. I encouraged him with God’s word.

Thanks you again for your commitment and we will stay in contact to let you know how the Lord is at work!
Please pray for us, we need the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ to accomplish what God call us to do, like apostle Paul asked to the Philippians
For I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:19-21
