A few years ago Juan and Vicki Herrera received Jesus as their Savior. Jon baptized them in 2005. Later that year they moved back to Mexico because of some health problems that their oldest son has. For the last three years Juan has been coming up to work at least part of the year because they need money for medical expenses. Whenever Juan comes he is actively involved in our ministry. Since he lives in Salem, it was natural for him to help out in the starting of our Salem church, which he has been attending since its beginning.
Juan is learning to play the bass guitar to help out with the music. He is also how to lead a Bible study. A couple of months ago he had his first practice at teaching by leading the adult Sunday school class in Salem. Today Juan preached for the first time during a regular worship service. This is very exciting to us!
Pray for Juan and Vicki. Juan is growing tremendously and is very strong in the faith. His wife is having a hard time back in Mexico because there is no encouragement from their non-Christian family. He calls her every week to encourage her but it is still very difficult. Pray for her faith to strengthen. Pray for healing for their son (kidney problems). Pray that Juan can soon go back to his family and that he would be able to stay with his family more. Pray for his ability in the Word to continue to grow and that God would use him to lead his family and his community to Christ.
