MISSIONARY PRAYER LETTER, JANUARY 2005

"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons" Gal. 4:4-5. NIV

FAMILY

We have many goals this year -- new ministry projects, for example. Our time at the beach with Anita's family was a beautiful experience. Our daughters are doing very well in their studies and their growth. Belen is sleeping better every night. Praise the Lord! This month was very busy for us, but very interesting and with great expectations.
Wonderful news: Genesis made her decision for Jesus Christ as her Lord and personal Savior. Praise the Lord. Please pray for her growth in the Christian faith.
Joselito was re-elected as Associate Pastor at the University Baptist Church.

CHURCHES

Joselito presented the Missions School project at University Baptist Church. You can see the profile of this elementary program (in Spanish version) on our web site.
Work Team, from Corinth, MS-US at Toachi (January 16-21), for building construction daily and spiritual support every night. Also, we visited five indigenous churches in this area. It was a good experience for fellowship and to work together for the glory of God.
We gave Bible maps and Bible study material to indigenous churches in special New Year's ceremony. Also, Joselito shared a conference about Pastoral Ethics and many exercises in use of the pastoral library.
Anita began to work with the Women's Society of our home church. She also will help with new project for children at our home church.
Joselito & Anita shared a special class for Sunday school teachers of Candelaria's churches. Other teachers of our home church came with us.
Also, Joselito participated in pastor's ordination and church's organization of San José Alto.

ECUADORIAN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

An agreement was signed between Ecuadorian Baptist Convention and Pichincha Baptist Association to operate the Seminary headquarters in Quito. Now, we have a very demanding work schedule. The fruits are very good now. Praise the Lord.

PALM MISSIONARY MINISTRIES-Ec

We had various work meetings. Pray for our field missionaries and for us, because it's not easy. We need to always remember that the Lord Jesus is going with us.

MISCELLANEOUS

We stopped the construction of our house, because we don't have more money for this just now. Pray for God's provision of funds, please. But we are very glad with the new rooms.

PRAYERS REQUEST

A pickup or jeep, used (four while drive) for our ministry in the mountains, because we have many invitations and opportunities to carry the Gospel, and pastoral training into difficult places.
A laptop & projector, for my presentations, class, conferences and messages. This tool is very necessary and urgent for our job.
And for spiritual support. The devil is very angry with us. We were suffering his hard attacks the last month.

"Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, Abba, Father"
Gal. 4:6 NIV

Thanks you very much, for your help, prayers and support for us. God bless you all.
