Greetings from a soggy mountain top. Each morning we’ve been waking up and hoping for a sunny day lately. As rainy season builds up steam, sunny days are greatly enjoyed. So today (in spite of almost an inch of rain per day the last few days) we greeted the sun with joy!
In the ministry we have a “sunny day” on the horizon also. On the 22 we will have the privilege of baptizing two young ladies in the P. community 3 hours hike south of here. Sandra, Paulino’s daughter, has expressed a desire to be baptized. She is 18 years old, and has been living here beside us for several months to help Andy and Chrissy with language study. She is a joy to be around and we are excited as she takes this step in her walk with the Lord. The other young lady is Elvia. Elvia is a single mom. She has been studying in our literacy course (Alfalit) over the last year. It has been a joy to watch her grow and learn, and I was thrilled when she quietly asked to be baptized with Sandra. Elvia was one of the first people to listen through the entire Awa audio Bible. Please pray for these young ladies to remain firm in their commitment to walk in obedience to the Word. Pray for their future and for godly husbands for them.
Looking back to the beginning of the month we had a visit from Rogerio from Mexico. Rogerio works with Hosanna ministries and is in charge of the Proclaimer project (the Awa audio New Testament) here, and came to talk with our Awa distributors, Milton and Humberto. It was thrilling to hear from both of them that the new line of Proclaimers have been more reliable, and that the Awa people have been more excited about listening to them because of that. There seems to be a growing interest in listening to the Awa Bible. Please pray that as the families (about 30) listen that there will be a true understanding of the gospel and a lasting change in their life as a result. Thank the Lord with us for this valuable tool for reaching out to a mostly illiterate people!
Thanks for your prayers!
