New Opportunities
We have now been living and serving the Lord and His church in Uruguay for seven months. What a testimony to God’s faithfulness toward us! Just this past month, God saw fit to place Danny in a leadership role as Interim pastor for our local church in Paysandu. Danny has been faithfully preaching on Sundays and also teaching on Wednesday nights. We are thankful for how people are receiving the Word with joy and are growing through obedience to it.
Liz also has started two Bible studies this past month. One is with a young mother who has requested help to grow spiritually as a believer, wife, and mother. The other is a young lady starting her nursing studies this year. She wanted a discipleship-type course to also grow in her walk with the Lord and develop spiritual disciplines in her life. What a thrill it has been for us to study for these teaching opportunities, teach weekly, and see God at work in lives!
Camp News
Needless to say, work still continues on camp. Our main goals have been cleanup from the storms, general organizing and sorting of camp resources, and everyday maintenance. With our first Family Camp right around the corner, we have also been focusing on getting program and activities, menus, and staff training materials put together. We are excited to see what God will do in and through us during the week of camp. The camp is full! We expect around 80 people on camp that week.
Micah asked us to send him down to Fort Lauderdale with Nic, a friend from ABC, for his spring break. Both guys served at GMSA headquarters laying sod and planting over 150 bushes for a new hedge. They also enjoyed getting some sunshine, a trip to the beach, and fellowship with our co-workers at the mission. We are thankful for their willingness to serve the Lord in this way. Continue to pray for both these men, as they seek the Lord for their future. Micah and Nic both are camping majors. We are praying that God would use their training for His glory!
Prayer Requests
- Pray for our belongings to arrive from Chile. We receive promising news only to have it fall through or be contradicted. To be honest it has brought us low at times. Continue to pray for God to work on our behalf and that we would be patient and content in the meantime.
- Pray for the preparations for Family Camp and for the Lord to work in hearts. We expect great things for that week!
- Pray for Morgan as she finished 10th grade. Maddie is working on sixth grade. We are thankful for their diligence and hard work.
- Pray for our monthly support needs. Our sending church had to drastically reduce their financial support to our family. Thank you to those who have enquired as to how to meet this specific need. God has raised up some support already and some individual gifts. We are thankful for His constant provision.
