August 2019 – 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 thank our Lord Jesus Christ for
taking us on this glorious journey, a journey of endless joy, speaking to our
hearts, answering the call that He has given us and accepted the mission that
is ahead of us to do His work according to His ways and will. Praise the Lord,
this journey is almost at an end; we can see the light at the end of the tunnel
but there are still some obstacles to go over. As we keep on pressing on this glorious journey, the month of August
wasn’t as fruitful as July. We had a
meeting in Norfolk, VA at Filipino
Independent Baptist Church,
Pastor Dr. Walter Yoho on the 4th and a Revival Conference at
Calvary Baptist Church in Norfolk, VA, Pastor Richard Smith from the 18th
to 23rd. We were also in Chesapeake, VA at Fellowship
Baptist Church on the 11th, Pastor John Stamatelatos and the 25th
at Hampton Roads Independent Baptist Church, Pastor Roger Sebrell giving
updates of our trip to Costa Rica in April. On Wednesdays we were at our home
church.
As we press on, please pray and continue to pray
for the following prayer request:
PRAYERS
1. For wisdom and guidance as we are preparing the
documents and for the Lord to guide us to the right people when we go back on January 8, 2020, per a meeting with our
pastor regarding our departure, Lord willing! There is much more paperwork to
be done in Costa Rica; it will take some time as well and we have to stay
there, also, waiting during that time.
2. The next document to be apostilled is our background check which has to be done a week or two, before we leave for Costa Rica, in Virginia Beach and Richmond; no more than three months before submitting them to Immigration in Costa Rica.
3.Our health in order to work in His vineyard. My wife’s full recuperation with the cataract/astigmatism surgery, it’s taking longer then expected.
4. We need a miracle for our support to be at 100% or more by the time
we leave; we fervently pray for this to happen. God is able to make other
miracles and we pray that He will; He is able, with Him nothing is impossible.
We pray and humbly plead for your help, for the
Lord’s provision and what He will have you to do according to His will. All
donations and funds should be sent to Macedonia World Baptist Missions (MWBM)
under SHIPPING- TRAVEL ACCOUNT.
* Support Levels
Our support is still at 80% but another
church took us on for support, Faith Baptist Church in Ringgold, GA, Pastor Jim
Thomasson. Glory to God! We are still waiting on one other Church. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE… we
need your help!
*
Safety with Travels
Pray that our Lord, God will keep on protecting
us on the road.
* Schedule of Meetings
Our
schedule is not full, we have no meetings
in September, for now the Lord has blessed with one Mission Conference in Greensboro, NC and a meeting in
Winston-Salem, NC in October, and another Mission Conference in November in
Statesville, NC.
* Softness of Attitudes
Pray that our hearts would stay soft, to have a
humble attitude, to stay close to God, and focus on Him not on men neither our
circumstances. Brethren, we are excited to see on how the Lord will be working the
rest of this year; we are also encouraged and at the same time comforted by His
provision, protection and peace.
PRAISES
1. Praise the Lord! We got our marriage certificate apostilled
in NYC; as we mentioned previously, all our documents have to be apostilled and
translated to Spanish in order to get a permanent visa and be a legal resident.
2. Praise the Lord, again, for His guidance to First Baptist Church of
Liberia, Pastor Eliecer Robles
Jimenez who will be helping us by writing all the necessary letters and the
documents which pertains to him; then we have to submit them to immigration. That
is truly a blessing! Brethren, this is the Lord opening the doors for us.
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. Thank you as well to all who started helping towards
our passage.
Brethren, may the love of the Almighty God, the
grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the communion of the Holy Spirit
be with you All. Amen!
