Pablo & Michelle Di Gilio

The following is an update from Pablo with some prayer requests. Please consider sending him and Michelle a note of encouragement at pablo.digilio@gmail.com.

Preaching training. The first week of March we attended another Simeon Trust preaching course with our pastoral team, and the Lord gave us a wonderful time learning more on how to stay faithful to the text and always preach what God had intended for each passage of Scripture. Please pray for our pastoral residents and our pastoral team as we approach the scriptures each week preparing to receive from God what He has for His people.

Lumina Institute. I asked you to pray previously that the attendants of our Institute would remain faithful to their commitment, and God has shown himself to be so gracious with us with a growing number of students in the past months. We just finished our first trimester and people are very excited about the next term. Some of our students have given testimony that they had never studied the scriptures in such depth and in the light of the Gospel now they understand better the redemptive narrative of the Bible.

Lumina Torreon. Sergio and the core team started gathering physically at a hotel’s conference room in March and people are feeling more comfortable attending there than at a house because of social distancing in the current pandemic. Please pray God will continue to move the hearts of the attendants to commit to this body of believers and to continue growing.

Lumina Puebla. God has shown himself so gracious with the rapid growth of Lumina in Puebla. We have over 90 people attending the Sunday gatherings. We have run out of chairs and people don’t mind standing on their feet because they are so eager to belong to a Gospel-Centered, Bible-Preaching congregation. Please pray for wisdom for Hector and his team there, that they continue to love and serve their congregation and raise more disciples of Christ.

Personal Studies. On March 15th I restarted my Masters in Theological Studies as part of my personal challenge to continue growing in the knowledge of Scripture and wisdom. Please pray for good stewardship of my time as I continue to serve our congregations and my family. It’s been a challenge to manage everything I do, but I pray He will give us the strength for this season.

I think this would summarize everything going on right now.

We miss you!

Pablo
