Christmas 2011

Dear Praying Friends and Family,

These past two months I have been studying Isaiah and have greatly enjoyed discovering now things and growing in my understanding of who GOD is and just how great our GOD is.  We often talk of how awesome GOD is, but the word awesome is far insufficient to really describe our GOD.  Our GOD has redeemed us and given us an eternal hope that surpasses anything this world could possible offer.  It is with HIS Great Love that HE has Saved us and there is no other GOD besides HIM.

This past Saturday we had a fun day with the children at the Casa Hogar Jeruel.  It was a great time.  The youth from Binimea came, spent time with them, did activities and prepared a meal.  It was nice to spend extra time with the children and build some relationships.  I was able to help Raul with some homework; he is in fifth grade and was working on multiplication, but he struggles with addition.  For me it was a stark realization of how great the needs are with so many children.

Our ministry here is to encourage, equip and raise up laborers, Please pray that the LORD will go before us preparing the hearts of people to be laborers in the fields.

In the equipping area of our ministry, I am teaching one class of ‘Teaching Teachers’ to about 10 people; in January, I will be starting a second class.   The hope is that these people will be able to go out and teach in small groups and kid club effectively and accurately the Word of GOD.

Please pray that I can teach well and the students will grow in their understanding of GOD’s Word, in their relationship with the LORD and they will be effective teachers of the Word of GOD.

One of our desires for ministry is to aid in the discipleship and evangelism of those who desire to study GOD’s Word but do not have access to materials.  This coming year our plans are to pursue establishing a Correspondence and Guided Independent Study Bible Institute.

Please pray that we can make the needed contacts and obtain the resources for establishing this Bible Institute.  A praise is that we can already see the LORD preparing the way.

We pray that you have a very Merry Christmas and that you will enjoy the Blessings of the LORD throughout this coming New Year.

With the Love of Christ
