Step by step

Friends,

April really was a month when we can see how God is doing his will on us, step by step, we keep growing and going and even we didn’t receive any team this month we felt the love of many of you in our ministry; but please let us show how in each area of our lives and ministry God show us he is doing his will on us.

FEEDING PROGRAM
Is very special see know how many of the kids who are getting older (teenagers) are coming every weekend to the church and really have the commitment to be part in our activities, we have around 10 kids to already are Baptist and are now part of the us, and see around a hundred of kids to come to attent our Sunday morning service, they really left their old life and are receiving a new one.

 

Step By step but every day more kids are having a different life and they enjoy it.

JUNGLE KIDS

Here we are blessed with see all of this kids getting better every day, see the joy in their faces and see how God bring to this remote villages his love and develop, is great to see them trust on God true us, happy with the new schools, water programs, breakfast but the most important issue for us this month was see how God is working in the individual families where open the door for us can go inside. Since two or three moths ago we began to have Bible studies at some homes in all the villages we are working, giving the gospel of them but over all let them feel the love of God, and we have around 65 bible home studies in all the villages, we feel is nothing for all the families to live there, but we felt how God is working step by step.

  

 

Is impossible to express our feelings and love for this kids in the jungle.
DANIEL OUR VOLUNTEERS
Daniel left our country after 3 months to work with our ministry, he really bless our church and we will mess him, and open our eyes to see how important are the volunteers in our ministry, and even today we are not reeiving to many still, God is taking us step by step bring more and more people like Daniel, you are welcome to come.

 

KID’S TEACHEARS RETREAT
One other gift we receive from God is all the members of the church who works with kids, they really do a great job, but we understand the commitment we have with them to give all the tolls and motivation for keep doing this God’s work, and we had a retreat where God show them how much he love them and give energy for keep working in this field. Step by step we have more and better teachers.

  

Rotary Visit
We was honored to receive the visit of a team from North Dakota Rotary Club, they come to work with a fire station in Atitlan Lake and finish the School for El Nacimiento, one of the villages where God sent us to work, we will have the open ceremony on the first week of June, but the Fellow Joel Lang who went with us to see how God love the kid of this village with this almost finish school, and we went to see a project for a water project for El Boqueron, other village where God sent us to work and don’t have run water, God issuing us in different ways, THANS JOEL! Step by step, God is changing the quality of life of this villages.

  

The home of the Pastor on Agua Caliente Osmundo Mejia is done, our retreat center keep going, (wait for great news in our May letter), the church keep growing and building our Welding shop class, and more and more, I will visiting USA in September for an invitation for Two River Church and Steel Creek church, for be with them in pray and projects, but this bring to us some very specific prays we want to ask to pray for, each of this ones come from our deep heart:
1. Buchannan Ministry
2. A new van for the church (the one we had is broke)
3. A 4 WD pick up, one is getting short for all God is asking do, and if he ask he will provide
4. Teams to come to help us in our projects
5. Sponsor for the villages (still we have 4 without sponsor)
6. Wisdom for us
