Recent Updates

Hello everyone I hope this note finds you all doing well. Remember that God knows you and has a plan for your life. A plan to prosper you, not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future. Take a minute to think about that plan and your future with God. This could be the most exciting thing you will ever do.
This is our message to the people we work with here in Honduras.

Praises:

1. Gillionville Baptist gave us all new beds that will hold 24 people. No more cushions on the floor.

Praise be to God, we sleep on clouds now. We have a new restroom and shower. Imagine 15 to 20
people with one restroom and one shower. I thought Joyce was going to kiss Curtis and Bobby. GBC
did a great job showing Christ to the people here; we are still getting comments about you all.
2. Joyce had to make a trip home to be with her mother and father. She enjoyed it and her mother is doing
better each day. Praise God and keep Nancy in your prayers. Her parents have been a great example for
us over the years.

3. We have a new baby. Blanca gave birth to a 6 lb baby boy Edicson Mauricio Garcia. He has been a
blessing to us.

October the 15 2012 was a special day. A new sound never before heard on the earth was released. It could only be heard by those close to the earth and seeking to hear it. People that love life and cherish it’s newness and nourish it’s aging. It was small but new and sweeter than the smell of new roses on dewy morning. It was truly a miraculous gift from God who heard it before the dawn of time. It came at 12:25 in the afternoon softer than and ocean breeze touching the cheeks of a million faces and if you heard it you stopped for a moment breathed it in smiled and life was better for you. Edicson Mauricio Garcia took his first breath and the exhale moved the air over the earth with a gentle cry that brought tears to eyes of those who heard him and made the angels in heaven stop their singing to listen. Thank you God for his life.

Prayer request:
1. As you all know the world economy is not as good as it has been in the past. When the economy falls, crime rises and the people that work and have positions become preyed upon. Our area has been safe for us in the past but it is becoming more dangerous. Pray for our continued safety.

2. Blanca has had the baby but has some very hard decisions to make in upcoming weeks about her future. She will start English Classes next Monday and return to school in January and finish High school in 9 months and then start college to work on her degree in education and business. Her grades have been excellent over the past two years. Her future and more importantly the future of her children without an education is bleak.
3. Pray for Javier, Michael and Marcos as they move past high school and struggle with the temptation to go to work instead of college. It is our prayer that they will attend seminary.
4. As always, pray for our Children.

Needs:
1. A concrete block machine for the youth to raise money for Evangelical trips.

2. A really good weed eater or push mower.

3. Clothes dryer

4. A diesel van. We get letters thanking us for the van we have from OPEC. Haha!

5. For you to come see us.
