Life for our family in Marion, Indiana, lately has included snow and icicles. It certainly makes us appreciate a warm home. We especially thank Bob and Bonnie Hudson for giving us a comfortable place to live from January to May. (We lived in a different home August through December.)
During the months we were in Bolivia with the Bolivia missionary team, we participated in the process of strategic planning. It was a time to specifically seek God’s direction in ministry for the Bolivia team. They have continued that process and now communicate the vision and passion for those “29 and Under,” the children and young adults who will shape the country of Bolivia in the future. It is interesting to see how God is also directing our ministry to the University Residence project and other similar ministries aimed at reaching young people.
We had the opportunity to participate in a CHE (Community Health Evangelism) training seminary. Taking this seminar for the second time (we first took it in Argentina), we were renewed by the concepts that were presented. The principles practiced in CHE projects are holistic, that is, including the whole person - mental, physical, spiritual and social. These biblical principles involve the recipients and bring about their participation and ownership. God is so good to bring along the right opportunities at the opportune time for us to grow in our knowledge of Him.
University Residence project funds are growing slowly. We do seek God’s purpose and timing in this. Would you pray with us that God will guide and direct in all the aspects for building the team for this project?
Would you help us? It seems like there are more barriers to overcome as we prepare to return to Bolivia. We need your help in getting over them! We need friends like you who believe that building God’s kingdom in all parts of the world is the mission God has given to all of us. Do you have friends who would be interested in this ministry? Do you have creative ideas of how to get more people connected with missions and our ministry? We would like to help people get involved through praying, going and giving. We still need 60 partners giving $25 a month to be able to return to Bolivia in August this year. Can you help us get to Bolivia by then? We appreciate your partnership!
