Things keep breaking around the house; washing machine (what I am working on here), fridge, tile popping up off the floor, computers not working, battery backups getting fried along with light bulbs. Please lift us up to the Lord that things would stop breaking and needing to be fixed.
In the photo, you can see I have two large, playful dogs who just wanted to find out what was so exciting under the washing machine. The young dog decided to grab a few tools, and since I did not need those old replacement parts thought they would make a good chew toy. Please Pray!
Utigna Açu
The leadership team is opening a new location this month at Utigna Açu, which is about twelve miles from our home on the island of Cotijbua. It is starting as a kids club program that will be lead by Jeremias. He is handpicking members for this team to reach out to a community of about 30 families.
It is a bold move because resources are limited and the pool of volunteers are few. Just as Jesus said the Harvest is great but the workers are few. We need volunteers to work this community and to keep our current kid’s programs running, so please pray that the Lord will lift up a new kid’s club team leaders to reach this community with the Gospel.
