GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE

Thank you for your wonderful prayer support as you prayed for Angie as she visited us April 2-9. God was exhalted as she shared with the local church in a puppet seminar, taught Sunday School, sang in the evening worship service, prayer walked and invited women to a tea in their community, taught in two schools and shared her testimony and sang at the tea in Huasco Bajo. The following pictures captures a little of what we experienced that week. The first picture captures what Angie is all about and what the Lord means in her life. Mark 5:19 "Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.

The Vacation Bible School in Huasco Bajo (a small community by the Pacific Ocean) was a huge success and we thank all our prayer warriors as they prayed over the event. It was so evident as our classes grew and many children and parents were thrilled as they crowded in for our program at the end of the week. We received many Besos (kisses ) and Abrazos (hugs). LOVE THE CULTURE!!!!!

Continue to pray for us as we seek God's will in the transitioning process. We still have no idea as to what the next step is at this time. Our daughter Angie will be coming in the first of April for a week. She will be the only one coming so please pray for safe travel for her. She will be doing a puppet seminar in the local church, teaching that Sunday morning, singing that Sunday evening, teaching in two schools and hosting a womens tea. Pray that the Lord uses her in a magnificant way here in the Atacama Desert.

ISAIAH 40:9-11

2010-12-15T17:08:00.003-06:00

O Zion, messenger of good news, shouts from the mountaintops! Shout it louder, O Jerusalem. Shout and do not be afraid. Tell the towns of Judah, "Your God is Coming!" Yes, the Sovereign Lord is coming in power. He will rule with a powerful arm.
See, he brings his reward with him as he comes. He will feed his flock like a shepard. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.

THANK YOU LORD FOR PUTTING THIS WOMAN IN MY LIFE!!!!

2010-11-22T18:45:00.001-06:00

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his endureth forever.

We are thankful for our family and church family. We do appreciate those of you who came on the October and November mission trips, those of you who have supported us through your prayers and your financial gifts and those of you supporting us in more ways than we can ever imagine. God certainly used the October team to break ground in the foothills of the Andean Mountains in three schools, the women at the hotel in the mountains as we shared Christ with the salvation bracelets and prayed with family members, had Bible Studies in three homes and a womens tea party in Chanar Blanco. Three weeks later we were warmly greeted in the same places but hosted three womens tea parties,welded bleachers in Buena Esperanza and showed the Jesus film on a blow up Super Screen in La Compania and prayer walked as a new mission is being started in Huasco Bajo. Pray for all those we came into contact with that they will have seeker attitudes on their part and a clear witness on our part. Pray for all the adults and children that we have come into contact with that they will know the joy of salvation.

CHILE'S NATIONAL DANCE IS THE CUECA.

The dance is a story of a man pursuing a woman who plays coy hiding behind her handkerchief. You will see the dance performed at every important festival in Chile and especially on the Chilean National Day , September 18th. Dancers dress in the traditional costumes of the Chilean huasco and wave their white handkerchiefs in the air.

SEPTEMBER---GO BUCKS

2010-09-04T10:34:00.002-06:00

It is fall in North America and Spring in South America----how different for us as we remember pretty bright colored leaves, football games and bonfires. September has arrived with eight months of the year 2010 already past. Where does the time go? September has arrived and Andy's birthday is on the 26th. Thank you Lord for good health for both of us. September has arrived with the urgency of the task before us ALL... sharing the Gospel so that ALL may hear and respond to Christ as Savior.

Pray for October Mission Team--Keith & Lori Matthews, Bryan & Julie Andy, Bob Beal and Jerry Brobeck as they come to minister 9th-16th.

Pray for the November Mission Team --Mike & Lynn Young, Bill & Teresa Pugh, Kurt & Vicki Olsen as they minister 6th-15th.

Thanks for praying for us as we continue the work before us here in Chile. We share the honor of lifting you before the Throne of Grace. We would enjoy catching up with you via e-mail, facebook or our blog as well. May we each continue the task to which we are called.

On September 18th Chile celebrates El Dia de Independencia with festivities ocurring the entire month. Pray that ALL the people of Chile will know true freedom in Christ. Continue to pray for us as we work In La Compania and Chanar Blanco teaching English. God has been blessing in awesome ways as we build relationships with teachers, directors, parents and students.

Colossians 4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ.
