Dear Pastors, Family, and Friends:
We are so excited to be in Guatemala! God has been so good to us! Last Friday, March 28, we had a God appointed visit from the judge, along with her body guard, two lawyers, and four social workers. There were four more people who wanted to come, but the cars were full! They were so impressed with everything. This was an open door for more children for House of Destiny.
During the past several months I have been visiting different churches and meeting new pastors in preparation for Destiny School of Ministry that will open the first of 2009. In April, July, and August I will have the opportunity to teach in one of the church’s leadership school on Tuesday evenings. I am looking for a house to rent and an SUV to purchase. Walking is great for your health, but it takes up way too much time, and we have places we need to get to and more pastors we need to meet.
We have really felt the need to learn Spanish. We know being able to communicate in the language can open up doors of ministry and opportunity. Spencer, Bryant, Karen, and I took four weeks of Spanish together. I am now taking classes on my own at Christian Spanish Academy. It has been an experience. Sometimes I am not sure I even remember how to speak English. I go four hours a day and study for three hours. It has been a lot of work, but I know it will reap great rewards. In July, we want to enroll Karen and the three boys in the school. It will help them learn the language much faster. Please stand with us in prayer during this time of preparation. Preparation time is not wasted time, but invested time. Learning the language is just another tool we can use to reach more people for the Kingdom. Most people take an entire year to learn the language. We have been trusting God to have a good understanding of it by the end September. Besides taking a lot of time, it is a major expense. The cost per person is $160.00 per week. So the total cost for one month of school for our family is $3600.00. We have been standing for 36 new partners that would give $100.00 for 3 months or a one time gift of $300.00.
We will be in the states for a few months for Danyelle’s graduation from Rhema (the third of the third generation) and Matthew’s graduation from Victory Christian School. We are so proud of them. It is such a joy to see our children obeying and following God! I will also be traveling for a few weeks and ministering (visit our website for dates and locations).
Thank you so much for those who give monthly, and to those who have sown throughout this last year to make all of this possible. We appreciate you so much and pray the blessings of the Lord over your churches, businesses, homes, and families everyday. We know there are others God is calling to join with us to help accomplish all God has for the nation of Guatemala. It is definitely not something we can do alone. Together we can reach a harvest.
