Beloved Friends,

We have been so blessed BECAUSE we have you on our team!! It means so much to get your letters and know that you are behind us in what we put our hands to!!

Looks like the country is getting ready for another coup. Roads are blocked and food prices are going up because there is no way to bring them into the cities. In the middle of this, we had to renew our visas and travel to several times to Guyaquil by plane. We had favor with a Christian lay there but her boss was not so nice…We were able to only get our visas renewed for 1 year.

As you know we had a ladies 3 day retreat here. It was our first one and it was a great success. Many had never attended one and some had preconceived ideas but we broke down all their walls and exceeded in all their expectations! We invited a guest speaker and a worship leader in to help me out. Wow!! The Holy Ghost fell and new things began to happen! Dancing! Singing in the Spirit! Shouts of joy! Ladies on the floor, kneeling in repentance and worship! AWESOME. Thanks for your prayers.

The men had a Men’s Friendship Dinner as an evangelistic outreach to all their friends. The husband of our guest speaker was invited to share a message, then Steve gave the call and EVERY MAN stood…all 70!! The guys pooled their money to cover all the dinner costs. We all had a day of prayer and fasting and wow!! Did that work!!!

Now the work begins with the follow up. We are working on establishing the fellowship and it is a tough go. We have 6 groups meeting during the week and we keep Thursdays open for leadership or business meetings. Yup, it’s a full week for us.

Steve works several times a week on the plane wings. The wiring is all set and he is priming them.

Remember to pray for us!! You are soooo loved!
