I wanted to take an opportunity to update everyone on the ministry happenings at Miramar Church. It continues to be an honor and a special mission for us to reach out to our community and neighbors. And, we want you all to know that you all have been part of this ministry also through your prayers and spiritual support. In fact, you all are just as much involved in the overall kingdom work with us. Thank you so much for your continual vigilance and watchfulness in prayer, reading of our reports, and overall attentativeness.
 
Miramar Highlights:

1. Our church has had three new families join us in the past three months. The families are attending regularly and are eager to    learn.
2. One family has requested to be recommitted to the Lord. What this means to us is that we must be vigilant to clarify and teach the gospel to them. We are going to make every effort that the gospel and salvation is firmly planted in their hearts. Books have been given and follow-up are pending.
3. Another family has been welcomed. This family is a mature family that the parents have been evaluating the possibility in joining us for some time. They will be a grounded family in the faith eager to assist in serving the body in unique capacities. They thus far have been very affirmative and encouraging about the ministry here and the preaching. They have been particularly seeking solid exposition.
4. Another family has come with the biblical circumstance of a spouse that is an unbeliever. Thus far, my wife and me have been able to discuss the importance of salvation and the real meaning of being born-again. This young lady was drawn to the fact that she had a very poor understanding of what salvation was. We were able to present the biblical doctrine of the divine side of salvation and she was led to rethink her understanding of salvation. She will be meeting with us on a weekly basis until we can solidly ground her on the theology of salvation. Indeed she has been very eager and receptive and humble and teachable. Pray that she continues to grow and that she presents a good testimony to her unsaved husband. She has also been given material to read on the essentials of 1 Peter 3:1-6 and 1 Corinthians 7:12-20. She has been devouring this material. She will be meeting with us today again.
5. The Women's Bible study group has been growing both spiritually and numerically. We have added three new ladies to the study of Romans. What a blessing the fellowship has been. Continue to pray for them as they dig deeper into the book of Romans.
6. Continue to pray for our door to door evangelism. We've been blessed with the opportunity to present the gospel to many out in the community. This is an honor and a privilege. We have not been stymied at all from our task and mandate.
7. We have had two new disabled visitors that have been invited by one of our members. This has been a privilege to minister to them.
8. Together we have been going through the book of Leviticus. This has been a joy and a blessing. We have had the opportunity as a church to explore the differing views on sanctification. We've explored the relationship between justification and sanctification. We've affirmed the biblical view. We have gone through the importance of holiness and worship. It has just been a great blessing for all of us.

 
These are some of the highlights and I'm sure I may be missing something but I just want to let you know what your prayers, financial support, and comradery has helped us accomplished. Thank you so much for all you all and your support.
