Gabriela & Michael and David & Stephanie meeting with Todd, Carl and Pete

- Moved from Colorado
- Started in a baptist church
- Moved to a charismatic church, but the teaching appears to have turned them away
- Asked questions about losing salvation, indicating they didn't align with that teaching of losing ones salvation
- They went back to their baptist church and expressed getting "re-centered" on doctrine
- Gabi wasn't going to church for 6-7 years before coming to the chapel
- David told Gabi about us, had connections through Lakewood Bible Chapel in Colorado via David
- Gabi felt conviction to go to church, visited 4-5 other churches, liked "something different" when they came to us, very positive on how things are here (warm, welcome, comfortable--David and Stephanie said similar things)
- David & Stephanie: child is "Nairobi"
- David and Gabi baptized in baptist church in Colorado
- Michael not a believer, not baptized, Stephanie, not sure?
 
Miguel and Shiela ? Have not visited with them. Miguel has some kind of vision issue, won't come without his wife because of that (driving?).
 
Gabi and David interested in discipleship. We lack in this! Steve suggested a "orientation"-type class. Using a Gene Gibson book (Survey of Basic Christianity, Basic Christian Training) would be good.
