Creazy Request

June 11, 2009

Friends,
Something crazy happen with us today, do you remember about ask pray about a bus for the church, well…, God answer this pray and we have one nice bus model 1992 in, Glenwood, Virginia Beach but we need to go and drive down this, this is not a problem, we have a friend to do this job for leave and he offer bring for us this bus for US$ 500.00, but of course we have to pay the fly ticket for him and the fuel for the drive, in total is US$ 3,800.00, but the problem is we need to pick this before next Tuesday, today we are looking for the ticket and see how we can raise the rest of the cost, but we are very happy and excited about this.
Because I don’t know nothing about USA geography I don’t know which one of you are close or in the drive down to Guatemala, because maybe you can help us with make this dream true.
If you are on the drive down maybe you can help us filling the tank when get close of you, in this way we can save some money, or if you leave far maybe help us with one tank of diesel, the size of the tank is 65 gallons. I think the average of the price of gallon is US$ 3.00
Or if you leave close maybe someone  can go and pick this one and in this way we will have more time for raise the money,
Believe me, even doing this all expenses still is cheap for be in Guatemala.
Please pray for us and any idea or help will be welcome,
Attach the picture of the bus.
We are very excited and happy!!!!! Praise to name of our God.

Friends,
Every month is for us a testimony about the love of God for us, we really see his love and mercy on us, is not another reason for we are so blessed and we give the glory to our God, in this month we saw how God keep giving us more members for the church and in this way more Christians involved in God’s work. He bring new people to his call with more baptisms, new member true our Vivencia and more knowledge in the leader retreat, bigger commitment true our general retreat, all in one month.
BAPTISMS
This month again (we had the last month too) more members of the church asked us to come to give his public testimony of their lives was given to God and we have new members with all the motivation and love for serve another.
