November 2019

This past month had me all over the place! From Elyria to Chicago to Columbus, I was traveling quite a bit to meet with people and share about what the Lord is doing in La Libertad. Thanks to your generosity and constant prayers, I've reached 49% of my support goal! 🎉When I reach 50%, my next step will be to sign up for a cultural training in Colorado which takes place during the month of January.

This month was hard in a lot of ways. Navigating living and working at home when I've been gone for almost 5 years is both a blessing and a challenge. The "honeymoon stage" of support raising has worn off as I'm settling into the new job and routine. But in His typical fashion, whenever I seem to be discouraged God does something or uses one of you to tell me exactly what I needed to hear. Seeing Him show up in the most unexpected ways, like a stranger coming up to me in Panera Bread and praying over me, leave me in awe of our Creator and reminds me that He is why we're here. With eyes fixed on Jesus we do the work that He's called us to do.

Just this past week, the Bonilla family from my church in La Libertad packed up their home of 22 years and made the move to San Miguel, about 3 hours away from La Libertad to plant a church! Please keep them in your prayers as they start the ministry in San Miguel.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity!

In His name,

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all the power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you, to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
