Psalm 40:5, 8 - Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare. I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.

We praise God for you and continue to thank you for your faithfulness in your support and all your prayers. Now join us and enjoy as you see what God continues to do.

Thank you for your prayers for our trip as we attempted to go to Guangra a community we have been praying for over a year and a half. Guangra is a about a 5 - 6 hour walk from vehicle access. Pastor Felix had met a couple while at a hospital visit and was invited and due to weather, road conditions, and other commitments it has been difficult to make the trip. We finally made the attempt. We met some people from Guangra in Rivera where they come from about 7-8 hours to purchase their supplies weekly. We helped them take some supplies in our vehicle and some women and children as far as we could as the road was very muddy and slippery. We weren't able to make it all the way as the conditions were muddy and treacherous and even difficult for their horses. Jim a volunteer from Washington joined us and you see him try to help pastor Felix get through the mud. Felix gathered information as they continued with opened hearts to invite us to return with a medical team and they will be providing horses for transportation, place to sleep and food. We were able to bless them with a few Bibles and tracks and pray for them and our next trip. Along the way back Felix and Al witnessed to a lady working in her field taking advantage of every opportunity to share the gospel. Please be in prayer for Guangra that soon we will be able to take a medical team, continue to plant the gospel and for several house church starts. There are about 800 people there and 150 households.
