God is Working 1/29/09

Hello again to all!

I want to tell everyone about the things God is doing! Many of you know Melody and I have started a childrens ministry in the area of migrant camps, with the conection of a local church. This local church has a ministry area that is called 'Campo Esperanza', which means Village of Hope. We started with one small village and just begain going there twice a week and picking any kids that want to come and hear a story from Gods word. To our surprise we have averaged 15 kids. Recently we had decided to Open this up to another area. So we picked another 2 days of the week and begain going to another area to pick up kids. And here too we are averaging about 15 kids. God is amazing! Not only that God has provided some 15 year olds that come occasionally to assist with the 'crowd control'. Our hope and prayer is that these stories from God's word become real to them and they may come to a saving relationship with Christ. Please pray with us. Also pray for my (Jeremy) patiance. For working with kids can be a trying time. But it is all to His glory!

Other news....

We are having a boy.
Melody and I are excited of this blessing God is giving us and expanding our family. Please pray for Melody's health as the due date aproaches, end of March. Pray for a healthy baby. And please pray for guidence things begin to change for us.

God bless you all

R&R 1/23/09

Well The Yugo retreat was just at the begining of this week. The theeme of the retreat was the fruits of the spirit. It was an encouraging time where fellow misionaries shared what God has been doing in their lives and through their lives. It was also a wonderful time of rest and relaxation physically. Revival and restoration spiritually is something else God did at the retreat. Which helps prepare His servants to continue to serve.

Thank you all for you continued prayers and to everyone that made the retreat possible.
