June 2020 – Prayer Letter

Dear Beloved Brethren,

Greetings and peace and love in the name of our eternal God, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

As always, we cannot over state this, we thank and we will keep on thanking our Eternal God, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for sending us on this glorious mission, His mission that He has initiated when He came on this earth and now it is our mission to continue; speaking to our hearts, answering the call that He has called us for and accepted the mission that is ahead of us to do His work according to His ways and will. We pray that His Holy Spirit will keep on guiding us in the right path of righteousness and to be obedient and faithful until the end.  Praise the Lord, we are where the Lord wants us to be; as there are still obstacles to go over.

As we keep on pressing on this glorious journey, the month of June has been a continuing experience still dealing with the COVID – 19 crisis as we are still in lockdown until further notice from the Ministry of Health.

As we press on, please pray and continue to pray for the following prayer request:

PRAYERS

  1. We are still waiting for the application to be approved by Immigration, it is still in the process; as we have mentioned in our last prayer letter, Immigration supposedly should be open on July 18, 2020 due to the COVID – 19) crisis, but again it could change.

2.    Our health in order to work in His vineyard. The Lord has been good with us. Protection from the COVID – 19.

3. Place for the ministry, we have a location in mind; we are going to send a video and pictures of the place via Face Book as soon as possible, at the moment we can’t go there, as of now the place is still available.  Continue praying that it will still be available after we receive word from Immigration and the Ministry of Health, hopefully soon. We are very anxious to start the ministry (Psalms 27:14).

4.   We need a miracle for our support to be at 100%; we fervently pray for this to happen. God is able, with Him nothing is impossible. We need this miracle as we are preparing to start the ministry. We pray and humbly plead for your help and what He will have you to do according to His will. Regarding the extra funds needed per our Mid-September 2019 Prayer Letter, for our passage, which is $18,280.00, we have received up to date $9,234.00. All donations and funds should be sent to Macedonia World Baptist Missions (MWBM) under SHIPPING – TRAVEL ACCOUNT. 

5. Pray about the COVID – 19; It is getting worse and has surpassed 3, 000 cases, it is a lot for a small country; many areas have been infected with 15 deaths now, including many people at Immigration and other government offices.

6. Pray regarding the assembly of churches, the Ministry of Health has pushed back the date which was June 21 and has not given a new date to go ahead and start because of the continuing increase of COVID – 19 cases.

Support Level        

Our support is still at 90%.

Safety with Travels

Protection on the road and the COVID – 19.

Schedule of Meetings

It will be a blessing if we can have meetings via the internet while we are in Costa Rica.

Softness of Attitude   

To stay close to God and focus on Him and the mission that is set before us.

PRAISES

  1. Praise the Lord we do not have to leave the country as some others do. We just have to wait and pray that everything will be confirmed regarding the residency for the next two years.
  2. Praise the Lord that my wife is part of a women’s group called Servants of God for Pastor’s wives, not for just Costa Rica but in the whole world.

Thank you, as always, for your kindness, compassion and love, but most of all for your sensibility to the Holy Spirit of God who dwells in you. We are deeply grateful for your continued prayers, financial support and being behind our vision to further the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Beloved Brethren, may the love of the Almighty God, the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you All. Amen!
