Prayer Update as of October 27

Praises:

1) Hugo and Adolfo Leon  (GCE's Area Coordinator for Central America 1), traveled to Belmopan  Belize for the first Training of Trainers 1 Seminar  hosted by the Church of God there. Monday 17-Friday 21.  A dozen leaders of the denomination participated and we are expectant to see their launch of  implementation of CHE.

2) The construction of the caretaker house at the CHE Property is up to about 90%.  Join us  and the donors who kindly partnered and invested (Community United Methodist Church of Crofton MD) for this first building. Now the finishings are the next step to make it livable.

3) The Lexington Baptist Church South Carolina who came for a week worked at the CHE village of Paul Guatemala

with the local CHEs and Church to help complete the roof project. The thrust received has advanced the project

as a testimony to the whole village and surroundings.

4) For our US Visa renovation accomplished as the Gomez Family Miriam, Hugo Jr and Sr traveled to California and Arizona October 6-22 and visited supporting churches around the two states invited by Grace Community Church of Madera Calif. on occassion of the Global Ministry Fair. Meeting and learning from most of their missionaries was edifying. Realizing we are among their early supported missionaries (25 years) is humbling for us and gives us more encouragement to remain faithful in ministry partnership.

5) All the churches and families and ministries visited during the 16 days in the USA were kind and patient and treated us with God's Grace. We thank each one for your prayers which let us enjoy travel mercies by plane, car, and train.

6) For Betty our secretary who also had had an accident riding on the public transportation in the city. She suffered for several weeks but now has had her tests done and there is no brain damage by God's cares. They only found anemia which can be treated easily here. Praise God for those who kindly helped Betty financially for the brain tests.
7) For Antonio Vivas, CHE Team leader in Nicaragua who has been ill also.

8) All glory be to the Lord for Mario our son who received an award recently. If you would like please read

Prayer load to share with you:

1) For Kirk and Gloria Douglas in Littleton Colorado. Kirk had an accident also.  The 3 STM teams form Deer Creek Church (in a row) who were coming with Kirk for water wells project for November have been cancelled due to Kirk's rest and treatment. The Lord protected Kirk from more injuries than those serious he got but we need to pray for his recovery and encourage him. Kirk is our Director for Development of our CHE Training Center as you have read on previous posts.

2) For some parts of the road to the CHE Center Property which still need to be worked due to the heavy rainy

season. Pray for provision of man power and funds to do the work.

at various levels of partnership. We are not surprised about those but we can be more steadfast in prayer.
