Dear
Partners,
As
this summer draws to a close
and the fall harvest time
approaches we are so thankful
for you, together we have
helped those who are anxiously
awaiting the crops this fall.
The hunger season this year
has been a particularly tough
one for the villagers, but
with your love, prayers, and
partnership we were able to
bring relief to many. It
has been a great month, many
things accomplished for the
Lord. Time and time
again you have been so
faithful to pray for the work
here, to give of yourselves,
even when things have been
challenging for you, you gave.
Great is your reward in
Heaven. We want to thank
you for standing with us,
shoulder to shoulder in the
spirit. This month it is
not just Marla and I saying
thank you but the families of
the villages also. Words
always fail to express what we
feel in our hearts, how do you
articulate love, gratitude,
appreciation, and so much
more? Since a picture is
worth a thousand words, then
perhaps the only way is with
pictures of the lives that you
helped us touch. Please
read this newsletter with the
full assurance that together
WE ARE THE CHANGE!

Starvation
Annihilation
Bulk
Food Give away!
|
|
The
month the starvation season
hit very hard and so many
children were taken to the
hospital with severe
malnutrition. A
combination of last year's
severe drought, erratic
rainfall, high food prices and
a sharp drop in remittances
amid the global economic
crisis has weakened
Guatemala's fragile food
supply and left thousands of
families too destitute to buy
enough food.
So we launched
"Starvation
Annihilation" And it was
a huge success! We
raised enough money to keep
from closing our 2 centers
that we had lost funds to
maintain, and also enough to
take bulk food to the families
of 5 villages. We gave
close to ONE TON OF FOOD
away!!
Please take time to watch the
video to the left and see the
remarkable images of the faces
and lives that you touched!
You
rose to the challenge and put us
over the top!
We
are the change!

Jalapa
Mountain wide Rally 2010
Almost 200 in attendance! |
|
The Jalapa Mountain Wide Rally
2010 was the first of many
mountain wide rallies to come!
With close to 120 churches
built, and more going up each
year it is difficult to find
the time to visit them all.
So we have put into action
"Mountain Wide
Rallies" that pull all of
our 100 club churches from any
given mountain together for a
day of preaching, prayer,
fellowship and yes.....eating!
What a blessing to see the
trucks begin to arrive and all
of the precious people
entering the house of the Lord
with joy on their faces and in
their hearts! Together
we preached and prayed and
rejoiced and cried! The
presence of the Lord was so
tender and sweet as children
as well as adults worshiped
the one true and living God!
We rejoiced in victories and
mourned as we heard how one
sister had nothing to feed her
family--so she went and
gathered mushrooms to cook.
Two of her three children died
that day. It was a time
of strengthening and
encouragement, a time for a
good solid word to take them
through to the victory.
We look forward to many more
"Mountain Wide
rallies" to come!

2010!
......Many
more to come
Your
Missionaries,
Larry
& Marla |
