Missionary Prayer Letter, April 2007

"He who testifies to these things says, Yes, I am coming soon" -Rev. 22:20

OUR FAMILY

Joselito had his birthday on April 7. Now, he is very old! This was a special month for him as he fulfilled the goal of completing his doctoral degree. Anita went to Puerto Lopez with Belén to rest a few days, to visit her mother and our little Baptist church there.

OUR MINISTRY

• We went to visit the Baptist churches in Calacali­ and San Antonio de Pichincha (20 miles from Quito). Joselito preached in the both places.
• We attended Joselito's graduation as he earned his PhD in Theology. He won the following awards: best student of 2007; best thesis; and the first student with PhD in Theology at VIU in Latin America.
• Joselito went to Guayaquil for the graduation service of two students with a Bachelor Degree from the Ecuadorian Baptist Theological Seminary.
• We went to Toachi to visit the Baptist church. Joselito preached in the Sunday service and Anita taught the class for kids.
• Joselito went to Puyo (180 miles from Quito) to teach a special Missiology course for the university.
• At the end of the month, Joselito officiated a marriage ceremony at our home church for a couple we disciple.

MISCELLANEOUS

Anita is very excited about her Masters program in pastoral counseling. Pray for her and for me, as I need to care our daughters during her studies.

OUR PRAYER REQUESTS

• Pray for our economic support please, right now it is very low (it really is critical).
• Pray for scholarships for Anita's studies. We need $1,500 for her tuition.
• Pray for our ministry funds: we need for scholarships, books, and for the operation of our School of Ministry.
  

With love in Christ: JOSELITO & ANITA ORELLANA
