C3 Denton Baptisms

Hey Folks,
Above, you see Dustin Aguilar, one of our leaders, baptizing Domingo Rodriguez. This is from our Baptism service this last Sunday, May 2. We were privileged to baptize 7 people on the Courthouse Lawn in downtown Denton. It was an unbelievable day for everyone involved with us, and a huge milestone for our church. Please celebrate with us the new life of God in the lives of these 7 people.

New Generations Baptisms

Pictures from New Generations Fellowship New Braunfels baptism in the Guadalupe River. This wonderful new hispanic church baptized 26 people on Sunday May 2, 25 of them from professions of faith through their church, and 1 who is from Dallas, who was just floating the river, saw the baptism, and paddled over and asked 'May I be baptized?". After confirming that in fact the person has trusted Jesus Christ, Pastor Joe Tostado baptized her!

New Generations Fellowship is a year and a half old; they have just gone to two services and each of the last 2 Sundays their Sunday Worship attendance has exceeded 200. They have baptized over 60 new believers. They also have a dozen Life Groups (home cell groups) and a strong Kids' Club after school ministry to at risk children.

Comunidad Cristiana Peñitas

Hello Pray everyone had a great Resurrection service in their respective churches.

As promised here some pics from the Good Friday service we had Friday, APril 2 at 6 PM in Peñitas, in the Community Center. As mentioned previously, we had 32 present on Friday night with 16 children and youth and 16 adults. (The pics I am sending are of the adults; as soon as I receive the pics of the children I will send those along).
The exciting thing about Friday night was that the people of Peñitas took care of organizing the food and fellowship, the promotion and inviting their neighbors to Friday night's service. Additionally nine of those present asked to join the church offically, and I will also be speaking with 4 of them about baptism.

Please continue to lift up Comunidad Cristiana Peñitas in prayer as I believe we have reached a major milestone in the development of this new work. That the new members would continue in their excitement for the Lord and the "New thing" which God is doing in their midst, for a permanent location for worship services, in which we don't have to be concerned about having access as we currently do at the Community Center park, and for an enclosed trailer to house the chairs, tables, children's materials and supplies and sound system in the meantime.

In His grip,

Ruben Harrison Jr.

Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells 2010 Mission Trip to Sweden

With a population of 9.2 million and an area of 450,295 Km Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union. It is sad to say that Sweden is known as the most secular country in the world with up to 85% of the population classified as atheist or agnostic. We thank God for the Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells as a Key Church and a Partner with the Missions Mobilization Team of the Texas Baptists. The Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells has a mandate to share God's Word with Cowboys and Cowgirls and reach the Unchurched Everywhere. Sweden has a love for all things "Wild West", which makes this mission trip a great opportunity. Sweden has a Western theme park called High Chaparral which was built by a man who goes by the name Big Bengt, and says his guide is the Bible. It's a Wild West theme park that boasts some of the best American Memorabilia in the world and is home to many western-style events.

The Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells is sending a team of seven to lead the parade at High Chaparral which is expecting 18,000 people at it's show. This team will be praying with and for the riders; they will hold two church services per day; hold roping, farrier, and reined cowhorse demonstrations which will blend skill and bible teaching. One of the members of the Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells will be competing in the show (which will be giving him a unique opportunity to share the gospel with other contestants). The team members of the mission trip will all have the opportunity to meet the people of Sweden and share God's Word. The mission of this team will be to introduce as many Swedes as possible to "The Greatest Cowboy of them All".
