GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD; HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!
Last month, we asked you to please pray for...
- David Medina. We are sad to inform you that Isabel’s husband, David, has passed away. The past couple of months have been really hard on him, he lost a lot of weight and became very weak. It was a disappointment due to the conflicting reports of the doctors and their lack of attention. Very unfortunate, but we are happy that David is no longer suffering. Isabel said that he passed away looking up and with his hand extended. This is the second time that Isabel has been widowed. This time, she is not completely alone as she and David had a son, Josué, who is 13 years old. If you would like to help Isabel financially, please do so. You can make a safe, tax-deductible donation designating it for ISABEL VALENCIA at our Cofradia General Donations link. Another option is to send a check made out to ALTERNATIVE MISSIONS to: PO BOX 3107 / FERNDALE, WA 98248 indicating that the donation is for ISABEL VALENCIA.
- Women’s Conference in Mazatlan. The women loved it once again. It was a great time for them to get away and be refreshed spiritually.
- My Dad’s surgery went well. However, he has been having some complications the past couple of weeks.
- Pastor Brad Pembleton came for a week to visit and speak with our church elders, the regional pastors, and the church body. It was so nice to have him here and everyone who was part of the meetings were challenged and blessed.
- Advent speaking in Rosamorada went well.
- Border Trip It was another busy trip as I spent a few days working on a video and preparing the message for Jose’s and Julia’s wedding. One of the highlights was taking the girls out (Rebecka, Emma, Mackenzie, Elsie [Julia’s daughter], and Gaby [Emma’s friend from Cofradia who lives near Julia]) to the mall and a trampoline gym. Lots of fun!
- Our Greatest Need. Please continue to pray for the three greatest needs: Leadership School, local employment opportunities, and full-time missionary. We have began the process of working towards meeting the need of the local employment opportunity as we have property that is being prepared for a brickworks business that will have some excellent and positive outcomes in the near and far future for the town and church.
