NEWS FROM GUATEMALA
Dear Friends,
I pray that this letter finds you blessed. I am now living at the church
and thank God I have a telephone. (594-5148 is the number by the way) They
installed the line this past weekend within 2 weeks which is very good for
this group. Now help me pray for some competition for them so the cost of
using it will go down. They are giving us "free" internet access for Q0.55
per minute which translates to about $4.25 per hour or $42.50 for 10 hours
of internet. I can only afford to use it for email at this point and have
to use a public internet service for anything else. At any rate, thank
God I have a phone.
God is blessing us in the church where I am now pastoring in spite of not
having the music situation settled. I'm trying to get a minister of music
right now but am trusting God's perfect will to be done. We are training
some young people thanks to those of you that have contributed to help pay
the teacher. It is costing a little less than $20 per week to train eight
young people. (Six on piano and two on drums)
I'm also in the process of hooking up a spare computer to the sound system
and using "canned" music for congregational singing. We'll give God our
best and He will faithfully bless what we give as He always does.
Today we baptized the mother of one of our members and the daughter of
another. These are my first two to baptize since becoming pastor so I'm
very happy to have baptized them.
I am happy to report that we are getting some Bible studies started as a
result of the installation service visitor's cards. I started a study with
some former neighbors of mine who are hungry for God's word. They are the
Hernandez family so please be in prayer for me as I try to win them to God.
Our first study went well and I'm doing the Light for Living study for 12
weeks since they have basically no Bible knowledge at all. I am praying
that God's word will find good soil to grow in and they will gratefully
receive the truth.
God bless you again for your giving and many thanks from your extended
family in Guatemala.
Yours for souls,
