I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. —Phil. 1: 3-6 We give God thanks andContinue reading “March 2014 Prayer Letter”

We are reminded, as we give thanks for this year’s outreaches, on-going ministries, and new initiatives, of the importance of approaching and continuing all of the above in a way that honors God.  Psalm 37 talks in general about the difference between the righteous and the wicked, but it also gives us in verses 3Continue reading “FEBRUARY 2014 Prayer Letter”

Thank you all again for your prayer support which continues to buoy us up and help accomplish God’s plans in Chile!  That on-going support is just one of the important by-products of like-mindedness and shared purpose.  Referring to us Christians, Jesus prayed, I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may beContinue reading “JANUARY 2014 PRAYER LETTER”

We thank you so much for every time this year that you have prayed and fasted for God’s ministry through us in Chile.  God/Jesus never promised us that his kingdom work would be easy or trouble-free—quite the opposite–but he does say to not be troubled, as he has overcome the world.  We are exhorted inContinue reading “December 2013 Prayer Letter”

Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.  Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.  Keep this BookContinue reading “November 2013 Prayer Letter”

What a fast and “involved” ministry year!  This special PHOTO Prayer Letter will focus on our work with children.  Next month we will be highlighting other important ministries that we are a part of.  As always, as you look at the photos, please pray with thanksgiving. CHILDREN’S MINISTRY IN GENERAL If you have been followingContinue reading “October 2013 Photo Prayer Letter”

Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord, my soul.  I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.  Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.  When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.  Blessed are those whoseContinue reading “September 2013 Prayer Letter”

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.  But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.  Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.  But how can one keep warmContinue reading “August 2013 Prayer Letter”

LIBERTY!! We first of all thank you for your prayers and concern for my (Jack’s) unexpected, but necessary operation in the States to correct and heal a deep-set sinus infection.  God, as we know, is always in the middle of these situations in so many ways and we thank him for his healing power andContinue reading “July 2013 Prayer Letter”
