<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 6;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>February 2018</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Dear
praying friends: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The last
couple of months have been full of blessings for our church, and for our
family. We have started 2018 with much gratitude, as we reflect on God´s
strength to keep us here in Santa Ana for the last ten years. Right now, we are
in the midst of a transition that will have a great impact on the future of
Iglesia Bautista Central. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ever since
the church started in 2008, we have been praying for land. However, when the
church began, buying land was not the priority. We wanted to be used of God to
produce a faithful group of believers, who were going to depend on God for
their needs. Over the last three years, we have been able to save some money
towards this project. A good portion of this money has come from the tithes and
offerings of the church members. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The
building that we have been renting over the last six years has been a great
blessing. However, we realized that if we moved to a less expensive, and less comfortable,
location, we could save enough money to buy an ideal plot of land sometime in
2019. After much prayer, I presented the proposal to the church, and they were
excited with the idea of having their own place by next year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God led us to this decision, without knowing
where we would have services in the meantime. By His Grace, He placed in the
heart of one of the church members to let us use part of his home (which has lots
of space) to have our services. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">It is
exciting to see how God pieces things together. The church is very close to
being self-sustaining. There is a good group that gives faithfully to the Lord’s
work. Once we start building, it looks like several of the men have lots of
experience in construction work. Also, the church is close to being
self-governing. We are praying about ordaining one of our Bible institute
graduates (Mauricio Escobar) as a pastor, later this year. If the Lord permits,
and these things fall into place, from this stable church we can start planting
other stable churches. All of this is miraculous, when we consider that we work
in a city that is not yet “white for the harvest.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The house
where we will be having our services is only about two miles away from the
previous location. It is located in an area that we have heavily canvassed
since the church started. Please pray for the people of this neighborhood (San
Miguelito), that the Lord would allow us to see fruit that remains. Please also
pray for wisdom for all of the church´s soul-winners and disciplers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Our
children have caught the excitement of these changes at the church. Rosa, 13,
has been very involved in brainstorming ideas for how to make the church
transition a smooth one. She is creative, and often helps us think “outside the
box” in how to accomplish our goals. While Caleb does not like change, we feel
we´ve explained things well to him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Joshua has only ever known this particular church building we have been
renting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are trying to involve them
in this process so they can see how God takes care of his children who are
trusting in Him. We pray this will be a time frame that they always remember,
as one that God guided us through. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear
praying friends: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As always,
we are thankful for the opportunity to end another year. The Lord has showered
us with many blessings both in our family, and at our church. If God permits,
we are excited about the things that He has in store for us in 2018. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">First of
all, we would like to thank God for Parkview Baptist Church of Palm Coast, FL.
This church has been supporting us for over 13 years. A group of ten members of
the church spent six days fellowshipping, serving, and being a great blessing
to us. They painted the front of the church building, as well as the sanctuary.
They also had special activities for the servants, ladies and men of our
church. We are always thankful for all of our supporting churches. It is also a
great blessing when one of those churches decides to send a group to see what
the mission field is like. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is
amazing to see how God keeps opening doors for us to present the Gospel, or
share our testimony with people. Raul Bolaños is a businessman who I met in
line at a bank, just recently. I handed him a tract, and briefly presented the
Gospel to him. God used this to establish a connection with him, and meet with
him a few days later. I found out that He is a devout Catholic. He asked me how
I make a living, and I explained to him Matthew 6:25-34. I told him that
whenever we have a need, we do not mention it to others, neither do we borrow
money, or ask someone for it. Also, I told him that since I am seeking first
God’s Kingdom and righteousness, He always supplies our needs. Obviously, this
way of living is completely foreign to false religion. Please pray that Raul would
continue to be interested in hearing God’s Word, and that the Holy Spirit would
lead him to faith in Christ. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">By God’s
Grace, we have been seeing more visitors to our church services. It is always a
blessing to see people, we have invited, attending a church service. However,
it is an even greater blessing to see members of the church (that we have
discipled) bringing their friends and neighbors to church. Although, we go
door-knocking (as a church) once a week, there are some members who ask me for
tracts, and go out witnessing on their own. Please pray that the Lord would
continue to cultivate this burden for others in our church’s heart. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We ended
the school year in November, with special graduation ceremonies for Rosa and
Joshua. Graduation from sixth grade is a milestone because the students move up
to the next level of education at school. We participated in many festivities
to celebrate Rosa´s graduating with honors. Also, Joshua completed preparatory,
the grade between kindergarten and first grade. This also is a milestone and is
greatly celebrated. Joshua is excited to be moving up to first grade in
January. Caleb, too, finished with honors and next year will begin third grade.
Thank you for your prayers for our children. We ask you to continue praying for
us as we guide them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear praying friends: </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With a
heart of thankfulness, we give you a brief report of what the Lord has done
lately. God has been faithful in motivating many of the church members to
action. This has been evident in our soul-winning visitation, and the
celebration of the 9<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> anniversary of Iglesia Bautista Central
(Central Baptist Church). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last
weekend, we celebrated yet another anniversary at the church. Probably, what
blessed us the most was that the church members did most of the preparation for
this event. Some of the ladies prepared a delicious meal, some of the men
participated in the church service, and the guest preacher gave us a challenge
about taking time to meditate on God’s Word (from Luke 10:38-42).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Since the
beginning of the church, one of my goals has been to preach every book of the
Bible, verse by verse. By God’s grace, I have already completed 36 books, and
am currently preaching: Ezra, Exodus and Psalms. The blessings that have
resulted from this endeavor have been incalculable. Among these blessings is
that we are seeing God develop a group of stable believers who are properly
motivated to serve the Lord. Also, preaching through the Bible keeps us from
focusing on some of God’s principles at the expense of others. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">One of my
biggest burdens (through preaching) has been to motivate believers to action out
of grace and gratitude. So many times, it becomes easy to pressure believers
out of guilt because we don’t need to rely on God with this approach, and because
(in the short-term) this approach seems to produce more visible results.
However, in the long-term, it does not contribute to a healthy church. As I’ve
preached the Bible (over the past 9 years), it has been with a spirit of
patience, and dependence on God. So, when we see many of the church members
showing up for soul-winning/visitation, we know that it is God’s grace working
in their lives.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Please pray
for our soul-winning visitation Saturdays. It has been our goal to knock on all
of the doors of the neighborhoods near the church at least three times this
year. Pray that God will continue to open doors not only to witness to people,
but to follow-up on those that have made professions of faith. Just recently, a
lady named Sonia received Christ as her Savior. Also, a lady named Patricia
rededicated her life to Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Along with
the church anniversary, we celebrated Caleb´s ninth birthday. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoy telling Caleb the story of the
church´s first service. We thought maybe Caleb and the church would have the
same birthday, but he waited until the next day. It is always good to remember
how events unfolded nine years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
children are all doing well, and continue to have the best year we have ever
had health-wise. We are grateful for the health we all have enjoyed, and don’t
take it for granted after having had some struggles in past years. Thank you
for your prayers and support.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>August 2017<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear
praying friends: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Although
the last couple of months have been as busy as always, it is good to sit down
and reflect on how the Lord has worked. We thank God for raising another group
of dedicated men who are studying in the Bible Institute. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, the Lord has been faithful in using
Christine to teach the ladies of the church. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As another
quarter of Bible Institute begins, José, Israel, and Rolando continue to
faithfully study God’s Word. Most of the men who have studied in the Bible
Institute have come from modest backgrounds, with minimal formal education.
Although this has presented quite a challenge for me, we have come to realize
that those with more modest backgrounds are more likely to depend on God. After
all, 1 Corinthians 1:27 does say: “But God hath chosen the foolish things of
the world to confound the wise...” In fact, the graduate of the Bible institute
that God is using most has 1 Corinthians 1:27 as his life verse. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Pray for
us, as we learn to balance the academic with development of character and
dependence on God. Up until recently, the Bible institute students have been
more intimidated with the academic than with the development of character. This
has led them to a greater dependence on God. With Israel (construction worker)
and Rolando (shoe cobbler), this is certainly the case. With José (a civil
engineer) it is different. Since he has an intellectual background, the concept
of depending on God is more foreign to him. We thank God that He can bring men
from different backgrounds to the same church, and teach them to depend on God
all the same. Please pray for these three men, as they will be preaching in
church in the near future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Christine
recently started the second Ladies Bible Study of the year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was talking to one of the ladies about writing
curriculum for the study, sharing that it is good to challenge yourself to do
something hard. This helps us to depend more on God. The lady took that challenge
personally, deciding to do a verse by verse study in her children´s Sunday
School class (without leaving out the harder passages).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pray for Dora as she studies her Bible more
thoroughly. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our
children have been very healthy, and are excited to be close to the end of the
Salvadoran school year. They will be done in October, and they are counting
down the days until their long “summer” break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rosa continues to serve in the nursery, and helps with the children´s
ministry. Rosa recently played piano for the first time at church. We are
looking forward to her playing more often as she improves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Caleb is beginning to read the Bible on his
own. He has developed a love for reading, and we believe he will develop a love
for reading his Bible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joshua is still
trying to get a good handle on Spanish. Being the youngest, it is harder for
him to speak and be as involved with friends as his two older siblings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are confident, that with time, he will
follow their example.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you for praying
for our kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear
praying friends: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just over
the last couple of months, we have experienced a great many blessings from God.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has given us growth both in the
amount of members of the church, as in the maturity level of our core members. The
doors are definitely being opened for us to serve Him in even greater ways.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Please pray
for Raul (71) and Isabel (60). This married couple is being discipled on
Wednesday mornings. Raul’s background includes having been a drunkard for many
years, and Isabel was a devout catholic before receiving Christ as her Savior.
They are very excited about learning more of God’s Word, and eventually serving
at the church. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is also
a great blessing to see how God is working with our teen group. Miguel has been
coming (with his mother and three brothers) to church for about six years now.
This is the family where the father was shot and killed about seven years ago. Miguel
has been studying the discipleship lessons with me on Saturdays. Even though
his two older brothers aren’t faithful, we have decided to invest in his life. His
mom is very impressed with the amount of Bible verses he has memorized lately. Please
pray that God’s Word would grab a hold of his life, and that he would have a
passion to do God’s Will. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Carlos is
another teenager who is basically growing up without a father. He has been
faithfully coming to church since we began the teen Sunday school class. His
sister and brother-in-law have been faithful members of the church for years,
and are now taking him under their wing, helping him grow in God’s Word. I get
even more excited when I see those that we’ve discipled, doing the same things
for others. By God’s grace, this is becoming more common at our church. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our
daughter Rosa has also been a part of the teen class since it began in January.
We are thankful with the way God has been working in her heart. Not only has
she been faithfully serving the Lord in the church nursery but, she also has
been acquiring a greater burden for others. Over the past several months, Rosa
has been taking piano classes from a young lady (Marielos) who has been a
member of the Mormon cult. A little while ago, Rosa added her to her prayer
list. We are thankful to say that Marielos has stopped going to the cult, and
is now going to a Christian church. Please pray for Marielos, that she would
receive Christ as her Savior. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Caleb and
Joshua are also doing well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joshua has
learned to read very well in Spanish. We are still working on reading in
English, which is a little trickier. Caleb continues to do well in his classes
also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As always, we ask for you to pray
for us as we raise our three children. As all of you that are parents know, it
can be quite a challenge at times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank
you for praying.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear
Praying Friends, April 2017<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is
always an honor to share with you many of the things God has done, here in El
Salvador, over the past two months. The Lord is opening up doors of opportunity
for us to take the Gospel further. Now, more than ever, we covet your prayers,
in order to make wise decisions that will make a great impact for years to
come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">One of our
greatest goals, as a church, has been to train men for full-time Christian
service. A graduate of our Bible Institute, Mauricio Escobar, has shared with
us a desire to serve the Lord full-time. Over the past three years, Mauricio
and his wife Dora have been able to support themselves with a small business.
At the same time they have been taking care of their children, and serving
substantially at the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a result
of this, we pray that the Lord would allow us to start a bakery at the
church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That way, Mauricio can work only
40 hours per week, support his family, and have plenty of time to keep
developing in ministry. Also, Steve can spend more time mentoring him before he
is ordained for the ministry. While in many of the Christian families, one or
both of the parents are enslaved to their jobs (thus not serving the Lord as He
wants), Mauricio and Dora have shown a great desire to do the will of God. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Starting a
bakery would also open the door for us to start a Bible College eventually.
This way, the students can work flexible hours to support themselves, and
prepare for the ministry. The most important resource to start a Bible College
is the people who will be running it. In addition to Steve, we pray that God
raises up, through the ministry, three faithful men over the next five years. It
is our desire to be able to minister to dozens or even hundreds of young men
and women that God has called to the ministry. The results of the last 10 years
of ministry here in El Salvador have opened the door for us to plan to serve in
this way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">By God’s
grace, the church keeps marching along in evangelism. Over the last two months,
we have had the privilege of personally sharing the gospel with about 400
people, in addition to the great many tracts that have been passed out. Please
pray for a young man named William Rivas, who Steve led to Christ while
door-knocking near the church. Although there is great joy when someone makes a
profession of faith, we understand that the work does not end there. We need to
continue to depend on the Lord for follow-up and discipleship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thank you
for always keeping our children in your prayers. While we have had normal
ups-and-downs over the past few months, overall things are going well. They
just finished the first period of the school year, and performed well. Caleb
ended with A honor roll, and Rosa with B honor roll. Joshua turned five the
beginning of April and we had a fun day celebrating as a family. He says a big
thank you to those who sent him birthday cards. Our littlest is no longer a
baby, but a big school boy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please continue
to pray for us as we raise them. We daily seek God´s guidance for their lives. Thank
you for your faithful prayers, encouraging emails, and support. We could not be
here without you all behind us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear
praying friends: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Over the
past couple of months, we have seen the Lord work in many marvelous ways. The
doors are being opened in evangelism, new ministries in the church, and a
greater consciousness of our responsibility in worldwide missions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">About a few
weeks ago, I had an interesting experience with regard to soul-winning.
Typically, when one goes to the bank in this country, the expectation is that
the wait will be for at least one hour. Whenever I go to the bank, I use it as
an opportunity to hand out tracts, and share the gospel with people. This
particular day, as soon as I entered the bank, I approached a man who did not
look busy, and proceeded to witness to him. After finishing, I proceeded to
another man who did not look busy, and started witnessing to him. About a
minute into my witness to him, a security guard comes to me, and tells me that I
am not supposed to hand out tracts in the bank. So I politely told him that I
would not hand out any more tracts in the bank, and proceeded finishing my
witness to this second man. After this, I thought to myself: “since I don’t
need tracts to witness to people, and it is not illegal to talk to them, I will
go witness to someone else.” So I proceeded to witness to another man who did
not seem busy. Another security guard comes to me, asking me why I was at the
bank. So I showed him my deposit slip. Once that security guard left, I
finished witnessing to this third man. About 15 minutes had gone by since I
entered the bank, and I proceeded to witness to another man (there were dozens
of people at the bank that day). As I started witnessing to this man, a security
guard comes to me and says, “follow me.” He takes me directly to the teller and
asks her to take care of my deposit. I end up spending 20 minutes in the bank,
when I normally have to wait for an hour! The sad part is that people are
becoming more increasingly threatened by the Gospel, even if it is presented in
a discrete and polite way. Please pray that we can continue having boldness in
sharing God’s Word.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Also, please
pray for our annual mission’s conference in a couple of weeks. The church
(Tabernáculo Bautista), where we worked our first two years in the country, is
getting ready to send its first foreign missionary. We are honored that this
missionary (Jorge Arias) will preach at our conference. Brother Jorge is
scheduled to go to Nicaragua around the end of February. It is exciting to see
a Salvadoran who is being sent by a Salvadoran church. We pray that one day,
the Lord would give us the privilege of sending missionaries from our church in
Santa Ana. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Since the
year started, we have made some changes in the schedule of our church. We now
have a Sunday school hour on Sunday mornings. During this hour, the church
divides itself into four different groups (adults, teenagers, children, and
infants). We are thankful that there is a man (Mauricio) in our church who has
been trained to minister to the adults. We are praying about ordaining him to
the ministry in the near future, and having a Sunday school class will give him
an opportunity to hone his teaching skills. As God raises up more faithful
laborers like Mauricio and his wife, the church can divide itself into more
groups, and it will allow us to be more effective in reaching others. As
always, we thank you so much for your faithful prayers and support. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The

One week, the ladies go soul-winning and visiting. The next week, they study a lesson. Currently the ladies are studying "Spiritual Gifts". One highlight of the year for this ministry is the Prayer Breakfast. The ladies meet from 9am to noon for a traditional breakfast of beans, eggs, plantains, sour cream, a Salvadoran cheese slice, and bread. They spend the rest of the morning studying about prayer, sharing requests, and of course, praying. Please pray for us. We are trying to motivate some of our ladies to start ministering in different areas of the church. "Many hands make light work!"<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear praying friends,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Lord
has given us so many blessings over the past two months. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He continues to allow us to take part in the
work of the Great Commission, the groundwork is being prepared for starting
more ministries, and our family continues to serve in the midst of the usual
trials.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
door-knocking ministry continues to bear fruit, as Steve led a young man
(Samuel) to the Lord. Please pray for him as we do the work of follow-up on
him. We are thankful to report that, as a church, we knocked on over 3,000
doors for the months of July and August.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>By God’s grace, we continue to see fruit that remains from this
ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Earlier this year, a young man
(Vladimir) whose uncle was reached to the Lord from door-knocking, received
Christ as his Savior at the end of a Sunday evening service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vladimir was baptized along with three others
last month, and has started the discipleship course with Mauricio (our song
leader) who was also reached to the Lord by door-knocking five years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Slowly but
surely the church continues to grow. Please pray for wisdom in starting more
ministries with the purpose of giving our faithful men and women greater
opportunities to minister. There are two men at the church that have preached
at least once a month since the beginning of the year. Next year, we want to
start an outreach ministry in one of these men’s homes. This would give them
the opportunity to preach several times per month, and thus continue to develop
as preachers. One of our greatest desires is that, eventually, men like these
become ordained for the ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
would allow us to start many other churches, and send missionaries to other
countries.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Christine
discipled a lady named Dora a few years ago. Dora has grown spiritually and has
been discipling others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, Christine
and Dora are discipling ladies together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While Christine discipled a mother (Imelda), Dora discipled her grown
daughter (Raquel). These two ladies have completed the 16 lesson series and are
preparing to serve in the church very soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now Christine and Dora are looking at the next two ladies that they will
disciple, side by side. Please pray for Mirna and Vanessa, as they prepare to
study the one-on-one lessons with Christine and Dora. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Christine and Dora disciple, Rosa (our oldest) babysits her brothers and Dora´s
three children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While this job is not
easy for a ten-year- old, she overall enjoys the work, knowing that she is
serving Jesus. Please pray for our daughter, as we teach her about serving others.
Recently a church member told us that Rosa works well with others, is
attentive, and is a servant. You can imagine how happy these words made us,
seeing results of ten years of teaching. Please keep Rosa in your prayers,
along with her younger brothers Caleb and Joshua.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We daily need God´s wisdom to raise them
properly. We are grateful that the health issues they had at the beginning of
the year have subsided. These past two months have been very healthy months for
our family. Thank you for praying for our family. Thank you for praying for our
ministry, and for your faithful support.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

praying friends,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Over the
past month we have continued to see God’s hand of blessing in our lives, and in
the lives of many of our church members. It is humbling to think about how the
Lord has given us the strength to make it through another year. If God permits,
we are excited about what He will do in our lives in 2016. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In our last
letter, we asked you to pray for Mauricio Escobar’s father (José), who had just
rededicated his life to Christ. We are thankful to say he (along with his wife
Marlene) were baptized during the Sunday morning service last week. They both
seem excited about growing in the Lord. José, who studied the discipleship
course with Steve a few years ago, now wants to be enrolled in the Bible
Institute for the upcoming quarter. Marlene just started the discipleship
course with Christine. We are very excited to see people that we have prayed
about for years, finally taking steps of faith. Please continue to pray for
this family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The last
week of December brings an end to another year of Bible Institute. The two
courses offered this quarter (October – December) are: Local Church Philosophy
and the Book of Genesis. By God’s grace, there were six men enrolled for the
past quarter. Earlier this year we asked you to pray for the three men
(Wilfredo, Gustavo, and Mauricio) who we’re planning on graduating in January. It
looks like these men are still on track. Please pray for them, that they would
continue to be faithful, and open to the possibility to be used eventually in
full-time Christian work. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, please pray that, as these men move on
in ministry, God would replenish the institute with more men who serve Him. The
only way that this is going to happen is that we continue to depend on God in
door-to-door evangelism and discipleship of those who make professions of
faith. This means we need God’s blessing on our lives as we continue to
practice Acts 5:42 which says, “and daily in the temple, and in every house,
they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last month,
Caleb ended “preparatoria”, which is between kindergarten and first grade. It
is when the children have a graduation ceremony, instead of kindergarten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Caleb graduated with A/B honor roll. Rosa did
well again, ending the year with A/B honor roll also. We ask you to pray for
Joshua, who will be starting school in January. He had an evaluation at the
school to determine if he is ready. Although he knows all the basics, he was
too shy to show them anything. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please
pray for our youngest, that he will thrive at school like his siblings have done.

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We had a
wonderful visit from a supporting church, Parkview Baptist Church in Palm
Coast, FL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They came with lots of love
to share and servant´s hearts. We had numerous activities, including special
events for our faithful church people and special outreach efforts. We are
still seeing fruit from their visit, and thank God for the encouragement they
were to us. We thank God for all of you, and pray you have a wonderful
Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear
Praying Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As always,
we are thankful for the opportunity to begin a new year of ministry. The Lord
has showered us with many blessings both in our family and at our church. We
are excited about the things that God has in store for us the rest of the year.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last year,
we asked you to pray for the men of our Bible institute. The original plan was
for our first graduation to be in January. However, we decided to push the
graduation to April so that we could include another one of our faithful men.
This means that four men will be graduating from the institute in April,
instead of three in January. We also asked you to pray that the Lord would
replenish the institute with more men, as those that graduate move on to other
things. By God’s grace, He has given us five men (other than those that are
graduating) who are enrolled, and excited to learn more about God’s Word. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In April,
we are planning to start an outreach ministry that will be completely run by
the graduates of the institute. The idea is that this will be a precursor or
training ground to start other churches. Please pray that God would continue to
use these men in a powerful way. As the church grows, and these men gain
experience, it is our vision to start at least another church in our city, and
several churches throughout the country on a yearly basis. Ever since we
started (eight years ago) it has been our prayer and desire to grow a church
that can run itself without our help. This plan has been slow to develop, since
we started from scratch (those that are graduating had no prior ministry
experience before we met them). Now, several men in our church are not only
able to preach and reach others to Christ, but disciple them as well. In other
words, it is exciting to see the church finally coming out of its childhood. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Lord
has also blessed us in the area of personal evangelism. Since the beginning of
the year we have evangelized several times in different city parks. The
willingness of the people to at least listen to the message of the Gospel has
been humbling. Just this week we were at the central park of the city for two
hours, and Steve was able to share the gospel personally 18 times. More and
more members of the church are realizing that sharing the Gospel with
individuals is not an impossibly difficult task. Please pray that we could see
more fruit, and that more of our members would take the Lord’s Great Commission
more seriously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our family
is doing well. Joshua just recovered from the mosquito-borne illness called
Zika Virus. While he was miserable for a few days, we are thankful that he is a
sturdy, healthy boy and bounced back quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Caleb and Rosa have been healthy and all of the kids are doing well in
school, learning lots of Spanish and understanding the culture better. They
started the new school year with excitement. We are thankful that Joshua is
doing very well; much better than we anticipated. His teacher says he seems to
understand everything and he has made some little friends. Thank you for
praying for our children and for us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">July 2015</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear
Praying Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As we reach
the half-way point of the year, God keeps reminding us of his presence and
guidance in our lives. Even in the midst of some difficulties, we are thankful
to report many of the blessings that God has poured on us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We would
like to start out the letter by asking you to pray for the families of our
church. Right now, El Salvador is in the midst of a great problem with
gang-related crime. It looks like the gangs have waged war on the government.
One of our families, who own a store, was recently threatened by gangs. They
were asked to pay them a certain amount of money or suffer the consequences
(being killed). It turns out that the gangs would use this money to buy
weapons. These types of situations are becoming more increasingly common.
Thankfully, our family has not had to deal personally with these gangs but, the
way things are going, it is probably only a matter of time. In all of this, we
have a great God who protects us and gives us wisdom in difficult times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">God
continues to give us the strength to keep serving, and seeing fruit in the
different areas of ministry. Very recently, the men of the Bible institute went
door-knocking in one of the neighborhoods near the church. Steve had the great
joy of seeing a teenager (Cristian) receive Christ as his Savior. Also, please
pray for Luis, Esaú and Ricardo, that they would be even more rooted in Christ.
They have recently completed the discipleship course with Steve, and seem
excited to serve in the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
thankful to report that three men (Wilfredo, Mauricio, and Gustavo) are in line
to graduate from the Bible Institute by the end of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please pray for them and for the ministry in
general, that those that receive Christ would be discipled, that those that are
discipled would study in the Bible Institute, and that those that complete the
Bible Institute would be used greatly of the Lord. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This past
month, Steve´s grandmother, who lived in our city, passed on to eternity. We
are glad that she accepted Christ as her Savior a few years back. However, she
couldn’t completely let go of her religious traditions. This was reflected in
the funeral.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We felt quite uncomfortable
at the funeral because of this. But at the moment when things were awkward,
suddenly a group of our church ladies showed up to be there for us. It was a
huge relief, encouragement, and just what we needed in that moment. When fellow
Christians rally around someone in a difficult time, it becomes a bit easier. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are grateful for the Women´s Ministry in
our church, how these ladies have grown in maturity and are willing to help in
a time of need. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have personally
benefited from this. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Caleb has
had a number of health problems including stomach issues, and strep throat. He
had a serious fall off of a set of stairs and landed on his wrist. An X-ray
revealed hyper-extended tendons but no broken bones. After realizing the height
of his fall and the seeing the concrete he landed on, we are amazed that his
injuries were not more severe. Thank you for praying for our families’ health
and safety. We felt your prayers and are thankful.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear
praying friends,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is with
great joy that we are writing to you this month, as we have seen the Lord work
in extraordinary ways. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God has been
faithful in giving the increase, as the congregation of the church keeps
growing in maturity and numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
month also marks our 9<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> anniversary in this country, and we are
thankful for His strength that allows us to keep going even in the midst of
difficulty and trials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Several
weeks ago, a lady (Imelda) and her daughter (Raquel) started coming to the
Sunday evening church services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
recognized them right away because they live close to the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About seven years ago, as Steve was
door-knocking in the neighborhood, we came in contact with this family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is when Roberto (Imelda’s oldest son)
received Christ as his Savior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soon
after, he started the discipleship lessons, and would attend some of the church
services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest of the family was not
interested in spiritual things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nevertheless, we did what we could to help them and show them Christ’s
love. They never forgot some of the ways we reached out to them. After some
serious difficulties in their lives, they realized their need to receive Christ
as Savior. They are now part of our church, seven years after trying to reach
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mom and daughter are studying
one-on-one discipleship lessons. Roberto is about to start studying again next
week. We are grateful to see God bringing forth fruit from seeds planted many
years ago!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As we keep
planting the seed of God’s Word (5,500 doors knocked and over 400 people
witnessed to with the Gospel every three months), please pray that we would be
diligent in reaping and being faithful stewards of God’s harvest. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">More
familiar faces showed up at our church services recently. This time, it was a
family that was part of our church over four years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They left our church on friendly terms, but
they were looking for something “bigger and better”, and only came to find
confusion and disappointment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have
returned, apologizing for leaving, saying that they wish they would have never
left. They are both now studying one-on-one discipleship lessons with us.
Please pray for this couple (Esaú and Ruth) as they have been through great
trials, and need to understand the importance of resting in the Lord. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our
youngest son, Joshua (4 yrs old) has had a rather rough start to the year
health-wise. Since January, he has had chikungunya, rotavirus, chicken pox, and
parasites. We are grateful that none of these problems were serious. Please
pray that things start improving for our little guy. We took him to the doctor
this week, and the doctor says he is doing well right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As always, we covet your prayers for our
family´s health and well being. Also, please remember to pray for us as parents
to have wisdom raising our three children to have sweet spirits and servant´s
hearts. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />

hard to believe we are already halfway through October. The weather has become
cooler here, a nice change of pace for us. When I say cool, I mean the

celebrated our church’s 6-year-anniversary on October 4. We had a special speaker come, and enjoyed
cake as a church family. The Ladies ministry organized a special choir for the
celebration. Some of the ladies said
that they wanted to thank God for all He has done, and a great way to do that
would be through a song of thanksgiving.
It was a memorable day for all of us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Developing
preachers is something that we have been praying for and working towards since
the beginning. Although it has been a
long road with lots of disappointments, we can say that it was worth all of the
effort over the past 6 years. We now
have four men who have been trained to preach through the Bible Institute. They
take turns preaching every once in a while and we feel that it is a time of
excitement in our church. Our people are
catching the vision that God can use anyone for His work. We have quite an assortment of men that are
training in the Bible Institute. Some do not have a High School education;
others have a difficult time reading; others have dark pasts. But through these men, our church sees
directly that education and position are not what matters to God. Steve was invited to preach at a sister
church in another city here in El Salvador. He was able to accept the
invitation without hesitation, knowing the men could take care of our church
service that Sunday. This is a big part of our heart’s burden; please pray for these
men to continue developing into what God wants them to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">In El
Salvador, the school year ends October 31.
Our kids are getting excited that there is only a little bit of school
left, then they have the equivalent of what is summer break in the States. They will start a new school year in
January. We are thankful for the
opportunity to put our kids in a good school here, it has helped Caleb
considerably. In his first year at school, his Spanish has developed at an
incredible speed. He has picked up so
much by being immersed in the language. Rosa
is finishing up third grade, the equivalent of fourth grade in the States, and
in another year, Joshua will start school.
We are so thankful that, for the most part, our kids fit in with other
children here. Because of their
abilities with Spanish, they do not deal with being the “foreigners” around
other children. This helps make our job a little bit easier. Please continue to pray for our kids. As all
of you parents know, there are always challenges to raising kids properly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">August 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Dear
Praying Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">It is
with great thankfulness that we write this letter. In the last couple of months, the Lord has
provided us with countless blessings both in the ministry and with our family. Of
course we want to share these with you, and mention some critical prayer
requests as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">First of
all, we want to thank God for Parkview Baptist Church in Palm Coast, Fl. This
church brought a group of teens with them on a mission´s trip. In just one week
the group painted a large portion of our church building, had a two-night
children’s activity, and a teen activity. Our church is always blessed whenever
a group comes from the States. It always gives us the opportunity to see more
visitors (as they’re curious to see the Americans) come to church, and to minister
to more people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Over the
past few years, it has been a bit of a struggle to get people baptized because
of how impractical the pool we have used is. Thankfully, we’ve finally found a
solution to this issue. Three weeks ago Steve got together with three other men
of our church and they built a baptistery that looks like it will last, for a
fairly inexpensive price. It is always a blessing when church members come
together to take care a need. As a result, we will be celebrating baptisms at
the end of the month. Please pray that Douglas, Herlinda, Wendy, Valeria,
Jessica and Berenice will continue to grow and serve the Lord after their
baptism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">The
church’s evangelistic efforts have remained strong. Right now, our church is
averaging about 4,000 tracts distributed per month, and about 200 people hear
the gospel by our soul winners each month. A few weeks ago, Steve was knocking
on doors about five blocks from our church and a man named William Pacheco
received Christ as his Savior. What was particularly special about this
profession of faith was that William prayed on his own to receive Christ!
Please pray that he would grow in the Lord, and that we will continue to find
those that are ready to receive salvation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Last time,
we shared the story of Douglas, the twelve year old with cancer. When the biopsy results were finally
available (they were two weeks late), the doctors told Douglas that he in fact
did NOT have cancer! They are waiting on
a few more tests to come in, but it looks like he is going to be fine. He found out on Wednesday afternoon, and was
in church that night to give a testimony of God’s strength through a big trial.
Please continue to pray for the spiritual growth of Douglas, his mother
Herlinda, and for his brother David. Please pray for the salvation of Douglas´ father,
Alberto.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Our
family is doing well. The excitement of having a church come visit is a
highlight of the year for our kids, so they have been quite happy. We have also
been feeling grateful for our health. With so many people sick around us, we
know we should not take our health for granted.
Thank you for praying for Steve´s mother. Her cancer treatments are
complete. She will have tests done in
the near future to see if the results are favorable. Please continue to pray for her as she
recovers from very strong treatments. Please pray for good news from the
doctors. Thank you for your faithful
prayers and support for our family and ministry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

January 2015</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear praying friends,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The beginning of the year has
brought many blessings both in our family and in the ministry. We are thankful for what God is doing in the
lives of many of the church members and for how He continues to open doors for
us to reach others with the Gospel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Just two weeks ago, one of the
missionaries that our church supports (Rubén Darío González) came to one of our
services to preach. He and his family have been serving in Romania for about 20
years. To the best of anyone’s
knowledge, they were the first Latin American Spanish family to serve as
Baptist missionaries in Eastern Europe.
It is always a great blessing to see a Salvadoran family being greatly
used of God. My prayer is that the
members of our church would be so impacted by God’s call in their lives, that
our church will finally send missionaries to the furthest regions of the
world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> The church Bible institute has
started its first quarter of the year, and there are 5 men enrolled. Please pray for three of these men who will
graduate at the end of this year if they pass the remaining course work. These men are preaching regularly at the
church, and we are excited at the prospect of starting another church in this
city sometime in the future. We also ask
you to pray that God would bring more men to the
institute, and who will surrender their lives to do what God wants them to
do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> We are also thankful for how God
is allowing us to see people receive Christ.
About 2 months ago, the ex-husband of a lady who had been a member of
our church for a few years came to visit for a Wednesday evening service. None
of us had ever met him before, and did not know who he was when he came. While dealing with him after the service, we
found out that he had come with the purpose of receiving Christ as his Savior! Since he received Christ, he has been
faithfully attending services, and Steve has started the discipleship course
with him. Please pray for this man (Juan
Ricardo Arévalo) and for our church as we are in the process of knocking on
20,000 doors this year. We praise God
that we have already seen 4 professions of faith from these efforts, and we
pray that many of these decisions turn out to be disciples for Christ. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> The school year starts in January
here, and our kids were excited to get back and start a new year. Caleb is in
preparatory, the equivalent of first grade.
Rosa started fourth grade. Joshua
is homeschooling with Christine. We have found that it is best to give our kids
a good base in the English language before we send them to a Spanish speaking
school. Our prayer is that they will
have mastery over both languages. We are
amazed at the strides Caleb and Rosa have made in being able to communicate and
understand the culture here. Since English is their first language, it makes us
laugh when they naturally do something very Salvadoran (a gesture or an
expression) without even thinking about it.
Please continue to pray for us as we raise our kids. Thank you for your
continued prayers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">June 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Dear
Praying Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Rainy
season has begun here in El Salvador, but don´t let that make you think it is
cooler here now. It is quite the opposite. With the evening storms comes
extremely hot weather during the day. It
seems that every church night is the time of the strongest down pours. But most
of our people still come; we just give a lot of people rides that normally
would walk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We enjoy
sharing updates from the Bible Institute almost every prayer letter. This time, we would like to share our vision
for growth. While our plan is to always keep the Bible Institute as a resource
for laypersons, we believe that it is God’s will for us to start a Bible
College in the future. We have become aware of the need for young people to
have a place where they can prepare for ministry. As far as we know, there is
no type of Bible College on this side of the country. We are praying about
this, and making plans with this vision in our hearts. Although this will not happen for a number of
years, we wanted you, our prayer partners, to be aware of a big prayer request
that we have for the future. While we
make these plans, we are working to train men to become pastors. There are five
men who have learned to preach through the Bible Institute, and they preach in
church services every three months. It is our prayer that some of these men
will start other churches within the next five years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the
church, there is a dear family that has been faithful since the beginning of
the church plant nearly six years ago.
The first thing that happened was the salvation of the grandmother, Holanda.
Soon after, the grandfather, Jose Luis, was saved. Then their grown daughter,
Herlinda, raised her hand during an invitation and asked Jesus in her heart.
This was quite miraculous because Herlinda’s husband is a staunch Catholic and
at first, was completely against his wife coming to church. Then Herlinda’s 12
year old son Douglas put his faith in Jesus after church one Sunday. He was quite worried about not having his father´s
approval, but realized the salvation of his soul was very important. This was followed by Jessica´s salvation
(Herlinda´s granddaughter) a few months later. While this family grows spiritually, they have
been heavily attacked health-wise.
Almost every person in their family who has made a profession of faith
has had some serious health issues. For example, Jose Luis has had a number of
operations, including the removal of one of his eyes. Now, there is a problem with Douglas. He
found a large tumor in his armpit, which the doctors quickly removed and have
sent off for tests. We must wait for about two months on the test results to
see if it is cancerous or not. The family is naturally worried, but doing their
best to trust in God during this most recent trial. We ask you to pray for this
young man. Sometimes there are certain young people who really stand out from
the others. He is one of them. He has a
true passion to study the Bible and is completing a discipleship course with
Steve. He recently commented that for youth meetings, there is no need to have
other activities. Why don’t we just study the Bible? Please pray for this family of new believers
as they grow through some serious trials. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Thank you
for your prayers for us and for Steve´s mom. She had successful surgery but
there are still some cancerous cells, so radiation is the next step. We are thankful for all of your prayers!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">April 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Dear
Praying Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We are
always happy to share our recent happenings with you all. We celebrated our Missions Conference last
month. We were privileged to have Adrian
Sandoval come to our church as our missionary speaker. He is a Salvadoran missionary that our church
supports, so everyone was glad to see him and hear him preach. Missions Conference is a highlight of the
year. We begin preparing for it with a special late night “Vigilia” for the
men. They pray through the night that God’s hand would be on our church and on
the Conference. The next day, the ladies
ministry has a Prayer Breakfast, where they pray all morning. We have these special
prayer times every six months. When we meet, we go over the lists from the
previous prayer service. We are always
greatly encouraged to see the way God is working. We counted over 20 answered
prayer requests, ranging from improvements to our buildings to the salvation of
special people in our church member’s lives.
After being encouraged that God does answer prayer, we start the
Missions Conference. We have missionary
trivia time with prizes, and a special meal to end the Sunday service. It was a great time of fellowship and
encouragement. Please pray that our
people will continue to learn the importance of missions and keep sacrificing
to sustain the missionaries we support as a church.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The Bible
Institute just completed another quarter with record attendance. The men happily received their updated
transcripts with more courses completed.
The new quarter started this past week, and the men are excited to be
studying Hebrews and Revelation. Please
pray for Steve as he continues to develop the curriculum and teach it. Please
pray for the students as they embark on a new study of two important books.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">An area of
ministry that is developing is our teen ministry. We took six teenagers to a
park last Saturday to evangelize. It was
the first time that many of them attempted this. At first, they were a bit shy,
but after some time they were all passing out tracts, and trying to talk to
people. One of the teens went home and
told her grandmother how much she enjoyed the experience. We plan on continuing to help these teens
serve the Lord. Pray for them, they have many of the same battles that teens in
the States face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The women’s
ministry was very happy to see a special lady saved this past month. Her
husband has been saved for about a year, and she has just recently started
coming to church. Some of the ladies had
the chance to visit her home, and during that visit, she asked Jesus into her
heart to save her. Please pray for Edwin
and Vanessa’s spiritual growth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We always
enjoy sharing a little about our family in each prayer letter. But this time, we have a prayer request that
is heavy on our hearts. Steve’s mom was
diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. While we do not have many answers right
now, we are trusting God and seeking His wisdom. Please pray for us as we wait for more
details. Pray that everyone involved
(doctors, family members) makes the correct decisions that will ultimately
bring God glory. We thank you for your
prayers and faithfulness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The month
of April begins the hottest season of the year. Today, the high is 99 degrees.
This temperature will stay consistent until around October. But don’t feel bad
for us; we don’t usually mind the heat. God has placed us in the right country.
We would have suffered in an icy cold country!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have had some exciting events take place at our church. We would like
to share these with you and ask you to continue to pray as we serve the Lord in
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:country-region></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In March,
our dear friend Luis Castro passed on to Heaven. While we are sad for the loss
of an insightful, experienced mentor, we are happy that he is no longer in
pain. Please continue to pray for Aracely, his widow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We thought a lot of Luis Castro as we held
our Missions Conference. He preached for our first Conference four years
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thankfully, the church is
continuing its burden for missions, as they have committed to give more than
last year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">By God’s
grace, it looks like we are making strides with soul-winning. This month of
April we have seen more decisions to receive Christ than the last three months
combined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Steve led a man (Roberto) to
Christ who is now being discipled by one of the faithful members of the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Steve has also started to disciple a man
(Francisco) that he led to Christ a few weeks ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please pray for us as we follow-up on these
converts, and that we could see more fruit that remains from this door-knocking
ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Bible
institute concluded its second official quarter at the end of March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We thank the Lord that three men were able to
finish the two courses (Personal Evangelism and Local Church Philosophy).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the beginning of this new quarter there
are five men registered to take the next two courses (Book of Acts and Bible
Doctrines).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please pray that these men
would continue to be interested in learning the Bible, that God eventually will
bring in many more men to be trained, and that Steve would have the necessary
wisdom to develop and teach the courses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As Paul told Titus to “ordain elders in every city (Titus 1:5),” it is
our prayer that God uses us to ordain preachers (start churches) in every major
city of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A few
months ago, we mentioned that for one reason or another, we had lost all of our
children’s workers. We are grateful to report that now we have gained a teacher
and one helper. Please pray for us as we develop new workers. It looks as if we
have two more potential workers in the near future. This is a huge need and we
are glad that it looks like it is being filled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The new
helper that we mentioned is our own daughter, Rosa. She is helping with a
combined nursery/preschool class. She makes sure the children say “please”
before they receive their snack. It is also fun to watch her as she sings the
children’s songs and motivates them to participate in the action songs. We are
sure that one day, she will be an excellent children’s ministry worker. She is
getting a lot of experience at a young age. Our boys are doing well. We
celebrated Joshua’s second birthday last week and are getting ready to put
Caleb in school. They are healthy and doing well. It is a constant challenge to
raise them properly, and we ask you to pray for us in this area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

In the past two weeks, we've had a wedding (pictures to come) and a baby shower. Between rehearsals and extra cleaning and planning and cooking...whew! It has been a busy two weeks. Now we have a little time to recover before we start planning our Missions Conference (end of March). Since I was the hostess, I had little time for pictures. But I couldn't resist grabbing my camera for the "Daddy Diaper Game". I've never heard those ladies laugh so hard at my husband (Steve) and the father of the new baby (Elton). Let's just say that we were all glad those were plastic baby dolls and not live babies! -ChristineThe Cernashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765237437208658042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649535790359511460.post-65928017252647405672013-02-05T11:52:00.002-08:002013-02-05T11:53:17.587-08:00February Prayer Letter<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-SV" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-SV;">Dear
Praying Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Although this opportunity is
year-round, the New Year brings us the desire to do better in all areas of
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In particular, we are working to
improve our effectiveness in ministry and family life. We would like to share
these with you this month, along with a little bit of news about some
Salvadorans we care about and ask you to pray for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The New Year brought a new cycle of
Bible Institute courses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Steve has been
busily translating materials, forming the core classes that he will use for
years to come. We thank God it has been a good start to the new quarter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After class one night, one of the men blurted
out, “If I keep coming to these classes, I am going to start being wise!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ask you to pray for that indeed, these men
do become wise with Godly wisdom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We are planning our Missions
Conference for the beginning of March. We will tell you how it went in our next
prayer letter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the past, we have
mentioned a Salvadoran man who was a missionary to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region>, named Luis Castro.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is gravely ill and is not expected to
live. Although we know he will be much better off in Heaven, we know his family
will need your prayers when he does pass on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Please pray for Aracely, his wife, and Ruth, his daughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has been a huge encouragement to our
church and a mentor for Steve. Thank you for remembering his family when you
pray for us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We are certain that many of you
remember the lady whose husband was killed by extortionists over a year
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wanted to share an update on her
family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you can imagine, the trials
were great for this lady.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had some
serious problems in addition to her husband’s death. But she remained faithful,
bringing her boys to church, coming to soul-winning visitation, and serving in
the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God brought another man into
her life, and they are preparing their wedding!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This lady told Christine, “There were many times that I did not want to
come to church. I had many trials, it was so hard. But God helped me remain
faithful. Now I feel he is mercifully blessing me in a great way.” Please
continue to pray for her and her three sons that are still home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be a happy time for them, but also
a time of transition for her boys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As for our family, we would like to
share how we have been doing. We have started to have a “Family Meeting” every
week in order to be more proactive with our growing children. We discuss how
they did that week (in obedience, chores, etc). We praise them for successes
and challenge them in areas they need to work on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our kids look forward to this time. We make
it special with a yummy treat at the end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’ve noticed a difference in our oldest children. Please pray for us as
we try to find ways to teach them, connect with them, and raise them with
Biblical principles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Thank you
for helping keep us in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">El
Salvador</st1:place></st1:country-region> with your prayers and support. We
are grateful for each and every one of you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Some things have been happening here that we feel are important to share with you. While we are thankful for God’s protection and we do not doubt it is His will for us to be here, there are issues that we want you to be aware of so you can pray for us and our people. <br /><br />Before we tell you all that has been going on with extortion, we wanted to tell you about the teen in our church who received a threat a few months ago. We asked you to pray for him, and we are now certain that the threat has passed and he is not in danger. Thank God for answered prayer! And more good news, his father accepted Jesus as his personal Savior at our Sunday Service two weeks ago. We believe that this big scare his family just went through was what God used to bring him to salvation.<br /><br />A family that is dear to us went through a similar situation, but with much different results. The family did not take the extortionists seriously enough. As a result, the father of this family is now in Heaven. Fleeing their home city for fear of their lives, the rest of the family came to us (we are on the opposite side of the country). The mother and her boys are now members of our church. Her youngest son is just three years old. Please pray for this family as they deal with grief, and for the mother who is now raising her boys alone.<br /><br />We have large 5 gallon water bottles delivered to our home for drinking water. Suddenly and with no explanation, the company stopped coming. Later, we learned that because of extortion, the delivery man had to flee. Another lady we know has a small business. She received a similar phone call and notified the police. The police told her to close her store for a while. That is how the police “help” in these situations.<br /><br />As you can see, we are in the midst of a difficult time for Salvadorans. This problem is not going away, but growing. We ask you to pray for the families directly affected by extortion and for us as we minister to them. Please pray for our continued protection, as we are not exempt from this problem.<br /><br />To end this letter on a happier note, we will update you on our children. Rosa, 7, started first grade on January 23. While she enjoyed a 3 month long Christmas break, she was ready to see her friends and start learning again. She is amazing us with her ability to memorize verses in Spanish. Caleb has picked up more words and is attempting to speak Spanish, which often makes the children at church laugh. We suppose you could say he speaks “Spanglish”. Our doctor says that 9-month-old Joshua is the size of an 18-month-old. We must admit, he eats like he is twice his age! We have observed that quite often, he eats more than his brother. We thank God for the happiness our kids bring us in difficult moments. Please pray we will continue to give them the time and attention they need, and that we will raise them in a way that is pleasing to God.<br /><br />Thank you for your prayers and support. We are so grateful for all you do and appreciate you. <br /><br />The CernasThe Cernashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765237437208658042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649535790359511460.post-48752938840849760042012-01-03T07:25:00.001-08:002012-01-03T07:33:11.048-08:00December Celebrations<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYWDxgISu5z4KN1jmeUC0XJlTh_YKbtmMEMOro4zEV_NfZdIYBKXQLzrEbQnzlQrgfHRuUn4RnqXOmzEsdjgF5dJGl5TVQabzwKagnMXvPF2MGG5eHI5PbbrFgCvxJXWl4srbNOEroyRGa/s1600/drama1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693427568249764274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYWDxgISu5z4KN1jmeUC0XJlTh_YKbtmMEMOro4zEV_NfZdIYBKXQLzrEbQnzlQrgfHRuUn4RnqXOmzEsdjgF5dJGl5TVQabzwKagnMXvPF2MGG5eHI5PbbrFgCvxJXWl4srbNOEroyRGa/s200/drama1.jpg" border="0" /></a> To celebrate Christmas, the children put on a play about what they have been learning in class.

He has recently been saved and, despite many physical problems, wanted to obey and be baptized.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We ended the year with a special dinner for our church members. The exciting part of the dinner was that Steve and Christine did not have to prepare it. After some help planning, we gave the reins to our people and they did it all! We were able to enjoy a meal, celebrating the end of another year. <br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>The Cernashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765237437208658042noreply@blogger.com0
