Annual Ministry Report of 2018. Orellana Family, PMM Inc. US.

PMM Inc., USA. Annual Report of Joselito and Anita Orellana

Family. 2018 was an at once very challenging ministry but also enriching and full of blessings. We took the gospel, biblical teaching, theological education, and pastoral care of the family to thousands of people through various media. These include radio; TV; Internet; books; conferences; missionary trips; and, expository preaching.
Our family is fine, thanks to the Lord; we serve together in the Kingdom of God, enjoying its challenges and blessings.
Thanks to our PMM Inc. family in the U.S., especially to our board members and to Palm Ecuador for their care, love, and prayers, Anita and I, we will celebrate 24 years of marriage on February 25/2019. Praise God!
