Missionary Prayer Letter- April 2010

OUR FAMILY

Pray for Anita as she continues to suffer since her mother continues to be very sick. Also, I celebrated my birthday this month and am thankful to be serving the Lord (even if I am very old!) We had special service for our new mission in Calderon. Our daughters are doing well as well.

OUR MINISTRY
  • We had special service for Holy Week in our home church (University Baptist Church) and Joselito preached on The Seven Words on the Cross. Also, we continue serving through various ministries within the church.
  • We received a short-term mission team from the USA and Joselito went with them to Shell to work for a week. The group served with a poor orphanage with over 60 children in very dire circumstances.
  • Joselito taught a marriage conference for couples at our church.
  • Joselito went to Bolivia for ten days for academic purposes. The primary goal was to attempt to forge academic partnerships. He visited the Bolivian Evangelical University in Santa Cruz, the Baptist Theological Seminary in Cochabamba, and others. He also preached at the Baptist Church in Santa Cruz. He will return to Cochabamba in November to teach an intensive course for pastors. The situation it’s very difficult as 90% of the Baptist churches in Bolivia don’t have trained pastors.
