Newsletter
Our 2009 Discipleship Training School is over, as always has been a blessing to see how each one of them got to know God in a very unique way. Now they have new concepts of is He. Of course the outreach portion was incredible, we where in Huehuetenango, an area of Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, both countries in Central America.
After three years we could as a family go to an outreach, that was Huehuetenango, we spend two weeks that were a bit challenging but at the same time but blessed at the same time. As usual air mattresses were the norm, we had a classroom was a room, it was an adventure for our kids. Something that we had not seen before, about eighty people receive Christ as they personal savior, which it made this trip worth, even if the fruit of our efforts was only one to know Christ still would have been good.
Costa Rica
I had the opportunity to work in the area at the epicenter of and earthquake that hit part of the country about four months ago. We worked in devastated areas building homes, carrying the materials to the construction site, like center blocks, cement, rebar’s. Also we build some septic tanks, worked in the strawberry fields. The team and I slept in containers, during the days were like a furnace and at nights were very cold.
Something that God told us was to share the Gospel with words but also with actions, we can tell a person that God is the answer, but many times we are part of it. We help a individuals recuperating from alcoholism and drugs, helping in their workshop which is use to raise funds, we shared some studies and dramas. Lastly we had children’s programs at the projects and parks.
Our kids
Happy Birthday to you!!! Was our song the past May and June for our kids Andrea and David. Andrea is now eight and David is four, for the first time we organized a party to celebrate their birthdays, it was of much for them but a lot of work for us. For now our three kids are recuperating from a virus that affected their respiratory system, we had a hard time going to the Doctor’s various times, buying medicines, as well trying to maintain a positive attitude in the mist of a difficult time, but it is a blessing watch them recuperate and heal thanks to the God’s intervention.
How to pray for us
- For the total recuperation of health in our family
- For God’s wisdom and guidance for us, for we have some important decisions to make
