	Update on Church Construction

Precious Friends and Partners,

We are so sorry that it has taken so long to get out a newsletter to you! As always, our only excuse is that we've been so busy. Since last time we wrote you we have built several churches as well as maintained the 5 feeding centers. Without your prayers and partnership it just would not have happened! One by one we are touching the villages with the gospel of Jesus Christ. So many of you write and let us know that you are praying, for that we are extremely grateful. Prayer does change things! We made it through a couple of hurricanes without any damage at the ministry center, and not too many reports of damage in our villages either! So, please continue to lift us in prayer, we count on it. We will be doing many church dedications between now and the end of the year and ask for your prayer covering. Each time we go up the mountains it is an experience. We just never know what is waiting for us. We pray and trust God each time that we go.

New Help for the ministry

We have also been busy trying to settle in a new missionary intern, Brandy Jarrell from Family Life Church of God in Archer, Florida as well as a good friend of the ministry for many years, Karla Oubre. Karla is from our home church in Spring Texas, Grace Christian Fellowship. She has made a year commitment. We ask that you add these to precious women of God to your prayer list as they come along side of the ministry. We know they will be a tremendous asset.

Christmas Baskets for Feeding Centers!

It may only be the beginning of Fall but we are in the full swing of planning our Christmas baskets for all 5 feeding centers. In year's past we were only able to do one or two feeding centers, but we have a goal this year of all five! We would love nothing more than for each family to have that special meal on Christmas. As we sit at our tables, filled with so much food, it will warm our hearts to know that they too are celebrating the birth of the Christ child with a special meal. Many would have nothing to eat at all, can this be right? So, we ask that you dig deep into your hearts and imagine Christmas at your house with no food or toys. We would also love to give a toy to each child in the family. It can be very inexpensive, $1 or so. Would you help us? We estimate that each basket of food will cost $17 per family. We have 170 families between the 5 feeding centers and there are approx. 530 children within those family units. So, then we need 170 Christmas Baskets and 530 Toys. We know that you will help, you always do so generously. Thank you in advance. We know that God will multiply your seed sown.

Church Construction Continues

As always the church construction is continuing on. We plan on having 20 new churches built by the end of 2007. It has been slower during the rainy season, but we have built several within the last few months. The Honduran churches are growing in quantity and spiritually. They are working hard to spread the gospel through the unreached villages of Honduras. We will be planning a trip there before the year is up to dedicate the newest churches. They all send their love and gratitude to those who have given in order to help them have a place to worship God and preach the gospel! We are praying over beginning to build in Nicaragua, please lift this in prayer with us. It requires much organization, but we do feel that the Lord is leading us to look toward Nicaragua. They are begging for churches!

Until next month, please know that we love you and we are praying for you. We are so appreciative of all that you do for us. Thank you for helping us take the gospel to the unreached in Guatemala and Central America. Together we are changing the unreached villages of Central America. We have decided not to just pray for change but to BE THE CHANGE! Will you BE THE CHANGE? God bless you and keep you.
