A few years ago, Miguel & Olivia were blessed to begin a relationship with Luis and Norma who were also helping one of the church families that we are involved with in San Luis. They have since became more than friends and have become our co-laborers in the ministry. They have been an encouragement and an active part of the ongoing ministry to the city and the outlying ejidos (villages). We were also blessed to perform there wedding at the fellowship center at the mission home. They purchased a property in a newly opened area of cardboard city on the outskirts, Colonia el Gruitta, and began meeting others in the area with a vision to start a church fellowship. They will be getting help from the Mission for Mexico ministry out of Oregon who will build a structure on the property but will not be putting in the electrical. That is a blessing, as we know the Lord will provide the electrical later. Miguel and Luis are currently working to build a septic for a bano (outhouse) for the property. They also, in partnership with another church family, did a Christmas outreach. We appreciate everyone’s prayers as we continue to provide financial support to encourage them in their efforts to reach the lost and bring unity to the Body of Christ.  

because they focus on what is praiseworthy and excellent

which is the promise of eternal life with God in the new heaven and the new earth.

   That reality is in conjunction with the fact that

DRCongo is considered to be the richest country in the world

with natural resources estimated to be worth over 24 trillion US dollars.

With 60 million of the 96 million people

in the DRCongo living on less than

$2.15 US per day.

Last weekend, believers that attend the church in the Muslim ghetto in Kampala,

came together for overnight prayer then went through the neighborhood,

door to door, and over 240 people accepted Christ.

They had no money, food, or medicine to help them – only the promise of the gospel.

Why are these people’s salvation more important than the other circumstances,

including sickness and death, that they face every day?

Last year when the government shut down all transportation,

there was no food brought into the city.

Although the believers helped as many as they could,

they watched as children died in their mother’s arms

and parents died in the arms of their children from starvation,

they weren’t able to prevent, and God allowed it.

God’s gift of self-will to all humankind allows evil to exist to serve its own purpose.

It is the price that

God’s unconditional love

was willing to pay for us to have

the freedom and responsibility to make our own choice.

They had prepared a small meal for them.

Martin informed us

that they were breaking up into groups

to go out to the busy streets to begin street ministry

with the 11 portable loud speakers they had purchased for that purpose.

We are still waiting for the testimonies of their Saturday afternoon journey of faith.  

• Do you know how many hairs (or feathers) your pet has?
• Do you stay awake all night watching your pet?
• When you are at school can you see your pet?

But even more than that God wants you to be with Him forever!

It is so special to pray with these young disciples.
