We have an attendance of 130 now. We praise the Lord for the progress of Agape. We have our own Worship team who is being led by Sean Grace, a very talented young man. He has empowered our youth in this important ministry.
At the beggining of the year I gave the church our vision of ministry. The book "Simple Church" helped a lot to simplify our vision. Agape exists so people can Love God, Love Others,
and Serve the World. We love God in our Sunday worship service, (God's house living-room). We love others in our eight small groups (Grupos Levaduras- Yeast groups, which is God's house dinning-room). And we serve the world in our outreach ministries: Marriage Encounter, missionary trips to Rosarito, food bank, etc. (God's house kitchen).
We are facing a challenging year: by September we will need to find our own worship facilities in order to become and independent church, and by January 2010 we, the Sotos, will no longer be a part of CMF International. After working with them for 12 years, the time have come to transition from missionary to local pastor. It will be a great step for Agape Church as well as for us. We are trusting the Lord, and we count on your prayers.
