TRAINING & DISCIPLESHIP SCHOOL OF COLOMBIA
A new semester has begun, and praise the Lord, there are thirteen students and three staff. We are excited to see how God works in their lives and molds their hearts for His work in the world. There will be an emphasis on knowing who God is, knowing who He made them to be, and the role He has for them in this world as they shine the light of the gospel in a dark world. They will be working with local churches on a weekly basis to practice what they learn. Because of the financial state in the US and Colombia, inflation is up and the dollar is down. This has caused us to need to raise more than originally intended. There is $3,200/ month coming in of the $5,400/month needed. We ask that you prayerfully consider partnering with this exciting ministry.
Gifts can be sent through your local church or directly to MANNA, project # 76604 (mannaworldwide.com/cds).
ORIZABA, MEXICO
The church in Orizaba, planted by BBFI missionary, Adolfo Ruesga, and now
pastored by Francisco Morales, has a heart for the lost and is always looking for
creative ways to share the gospel. That led them to open a MANNA nutrition center
many years ago. It started with one day a week. Now they have expanded to two
days a week at their main location and one day a week in three other locations. This
has led to local church growth in Orizaba, and Tequila. The families of the children
they are ministering to are seeing the gospel lived out and hearing it shared on a
regular basis.
Some have accepted Christ as their Savior and joined the body
of believers in baptism. God is faithful to give His people a burden for the lost
and the means through which they can share Him with the world.
FAMILY NEWS
Our son, Chase, has been accepted at Spurgeon College (Undergraduate of Midwestern Theological Seminary), into the missions program called FUSION.
We are so grateful to see our children seek the Lord in what He would have them do with their lives. The Lord has led him to do the FUSION program for at least one year. He is open to whatever step God may have for him afterward. Please pray for Chase as he prepares for and takes this big step.
