November 2014 Prayer Letter
Dear Brethren,
Greetings and peace 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 and answering the call that he has given us, to do His work according to His ways and will.
Finally on November 20, 2014, the Lord allowed us to go on our survey trip to Costa Rica; a long and waited trip with anticipation as the Lord was preparing the way. We spent 16 days exploring the country and the Lord blessed us grandly. We saw the hands of the Lord’s protection over us, seeing many being sick with the virus of Dengue, we did not get it; we were warned not to drink of the water but we did and nothing happened to us. We also saw the Lord’s protection while taking the buses throughout the country, especially through the mountains, we saw many trucks that were turned over on the side of the road but God was with us. The Lord provided shelter and food from one place to another. We were also blessed by meeting many missionaries serving in Costa Rica for many years, seeing what they were doing. We also met many national pastors as they also open their hearts to us and were willing to help in every way they could. As a matter of fact, one national pastor and his wife have been praying for someone like us to come and help them.
Unfortunately, we were not able to visit all the places that the Lord laid on our hearts, especially in Guanacaste. Perhaps we may have to take another trip to explore those areas and other ones that the Lord laid on our hearts before we make final decision; praying on what the Lord will have us to do and where as we allow His Holy Spirit to lead us in the right path of righteousness so we won’t make mistake.
We praise the Lord that another church took us on as they are willing to support us starting January 2015. The Lord is Good!!
Continue to pray for the following prayer request:
- Support Levels
Pray as we are on full time deputation that the Lord will guide us to the right church and have favor along the way in order to obtain our support, so we can arrive on the field by December 2017 or sooner.
- Safety with Travels
Pray that our Lord, God would protect us on the road as we do His work according to His ways and will.
- Schedule of Meetings
Pray that our schedule will be fill. So far the Lord has blessed with meetings in GA, NYC, NC, VA and Florida for next Year.
- 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 ourselves. Also for the churches we have contacted.
Thank you for your faithful prayers, kindness and love, but most of all for your faithful service for our Lord!
Under His Wings Reaching the World for His Glory.
In Christ alone
