“But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;.”
                                                                                    Galatians 1:15-16

“Here begins his account of his conversion, and call to the ministry; all which he ascribes entirely to the sovereign good pleasure, and free grace of God.”  

divine predestination, which is a separation, a setting apart of persons, for such and such purposes, as here of the apostle; and the eternity of it, it being very early done, from his mother's womb; whilst he was in it, before he was born, and had done either good or evil; from the beginning of time, from the foundation of the world, and before it, even from eternity: all which phrases express the same thing, and intend either his predestination to grace and glory, to holiness and happiness, to sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, and to the obtaining the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ; or his predestination to apostleship, to the work of the ministry, to the Gospel of Christ, to which he was separated in eternity, and in time; reference seems to be had to Jeremiah 1:5 or indeed both, and his separation or predestination to both was owing to the sovereign will and good pleasure of God”

Please continue praying for our support
We praise God for the opportunity to serve Him reaching 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.

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
