<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/kathie.m.drake/media_set?set=a.1203869192977210.1073741828.100000624221610&type=3" target="_blank">Facebook Photos</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Eden Baptist Church, (EBC) Brooksville, FL, took
a team of seven to serve with On Eagles Wings Ministries (OEWM) in Leon,
Nicaragua on June 11-18, 2016.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was
the church’s fourth experience in working with this organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its founders, Oscar and Rosibel Corea, and
their team once again coordinated an amazingly diverse missions experience for the
team. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We connected with OEWM through
Rev. Charles Pinkerton, founder and director of International Impact Ministries
(IIM).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Pastor Damont was able to preach several times
and also spoke at the weekly leadership meeting, which involved churches from several
denominations in Leon. Many seeds were planted and the Lord also gave a harvest
during the services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was such a
blessing to worship the Lord with Nicaraguan brothers and sisters and enjoy
their lively music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The team went to El Limonal in Chinandega and was
able to meet the family who was the recipient of the next house provided from
funds raised by EBC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the third
house EBC has been able to construct in this community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While there, the team was able to help break ground
for the house. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were also able to
share a bible story and the gospel, serve the children attending the church’s
weekly feeding program, paint nails and faces, and just interact with the
children and their families. Pastor Damont and Kathie were able to visit the
children they support and both families introduced them to their new babies! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The Women’s Missions and Ministries at EBC
involved the entire church in this missions trip through a pillowcase dress
project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over 200 pillowcase dresses
were made with the inscription “Jesús me ama” embroidered on one of the
pockets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, over 200 pairs of shorts
and shirts for boys were collected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
a joy it was for the team to distribute these items and see the smiles on the
faces of the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The team visited the local hospital and was able
to meet many children. They had prayer with them and their families and
distributed candy, toys, and clothes that EBC had collected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, they went to several villages and
cooked meals for the children and had a great time playing with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most importantly, they were able to share the
gospel through songs, bible stories, and testimonies. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, the team was also able to go into a
local elementary and high school to share bible stories, testimonies, and the
gospel message.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Due to the earthquakes
that Nicaragua experienced this week, the team was able to help distribute food
in a village in Puerto Morazan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ninety
percent of the men that live in this community are fishermen and the government
had forbidden them to fish due to a tsunami threat because of the
earthquakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, the families had
no income and were running out of food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Through Oscar’s ministry, 12,000 pounds of fortified rice was distributed
to needy families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The team also served
a meal to the families, and Pastor Damont was able to share the gospel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The team was blessed to hear Oscar’s testimony
again, and he has an incredible story of God’s miraculous work in his life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rosibel also shared her testimony and she,
too, has an amazing testimony of the way God brought her to salvation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This special couple loves the Lord and He has
blessed both their marriage and ministry in extraordinary ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a privilege and joy for the team to
serve with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Pastor Damont and Kathie were also able to serve
with Oscar and his team this past December and were able to see what OEWM does
when a team from the U.S. is not there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They just keep going!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each day
brought new opportunities to serve in villages to share the gospel, feed the
children, distribute Christmas presents, and share the love of Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Baptist Church has committed to continue to pray for, support financially, and
send teams to serve with OEWM because they have proven themselves to be an
organization committed to reaching the lost for Christ as well as helping to
meet their physical needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By scheduling
our trip through Pastor Charles with IIM, EBC has found it to be a unique and
high-quality missions experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, to
be able to work directly with a Nicaraguan team who already has relationships
with their people makes it easier to have effective missions trips. The
beautiful accommodations and delicious food at The Dream Center makes the stay
comfortable and enjoyable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>EBC has seen
the miraculous ways God has provided for OEWM over the past four years and know
that He has even greater things in store for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

computers with educational software. They brought the computers to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region> and are
teaching our teachers how to use the new software. Praise the

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Each afternoon I have

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We still need summer
school teachers. Time is running out to apply for this. It helps
the children so much to have an American teacher for reading in English in the
summer. We can tell which ones have had summer school by how well they
read. We will hold summer school with as many teachers as we get. Please
keep summer school in prayer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We would also love to have
people who can teach computer skills this summer to our teachers and older
students. They need to learn Windows, Excel, Word, and Powerpoint.
This could be done with different teachers coming for 1 week at a time. Please
keep this in prayer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have never regretted either decision. I love seeing the progress the
children are making. We are teaching future doctors and lawyers and

do. And they will go out with Jesus in their hearts. Praise the

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">The team
from <st1:placename w:st="on">Eden</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Baptist</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Church</st1:placetype> had a wonderful missions trip
to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:country-region></st1:place>
June 14-22, 2014, and was blessed once again by working with Oscar and Rosibel
and their awesome team. Pastor Damont
enjoyed preaching at the Rose of Sharon Church on Sunday morning and again on
Monday evening at the youth service. Connie Rivenbark and Kathie Drake shared their
testimonies in the Sunday morning worship service and Pastor Blair shared a
devotion <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>on Monday evening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">The team
went to the city dump in Chinandega on Monday morning where they toured the
area and saw several of the homes that have been built through Oscar’s
ministry. Damont and Kathie were able to
meet the two children we sponsor and that was such a huge blessing. Kathie was able (through a translator) to
talk at length with them and to begin a relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We were happy
to see the new tables with tile tops that had been added since our trip last
year. This made ministering there so
much easier. Also the pharmacy had been
completed. We shared bible stories,
played games, and did several other activities with the children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We met the young
woman whose house we would be building with the funds Eden Baptist had provided. Seeing her current living conditions and
hearing her share about what this gift meant to her and her family was a huge
blessing to the team. The men began
construction on her house and were able to work there four days. A couple of the men also worked on another
house at the dump. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">While the
men were at the dump, the women went to two feeding centers each day and
prepared and served food, shared bible studies, and did other activities with
the children. The plan of salvation was
shared in the villages, and we made almost 400 salvation necklaces as a
reminder of how to be saved. The
children received a copy of what the beads on the necklaces stood for (in
Spanish) to take home to their families.
Aneriam was our translator and he is an exceptional godly man. Oscar has trained his staff extremely well,
and we were especially impressed with how well Aneriam interacted with the
children. He truly has a love for God
and for children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We were
able to visit the dream center and were amazed and blessed to see what all has
been built since our last visit. We had
prayer walked the area (which was just grass) last year. Now the first level of the center is almost
completed! God has truly provided for this center through the generosity of
donors and is fulfilling the vision He gave to Oscar. We expect many amazing things to happen here
in the future. We were also able to
clean the inside of the storage unit as a new shipment of rice was arriving the
following day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We visited
the local hospital and were able to meet many children. We had prayer with them and their families
and distributed candy, toys, and clothes that our team had collected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We went to
a ballpark on Saturday and shared the gospel with many people in the
bleachers. Three young men and one older
woman prayed to received Christ. One of
Oscar’s team members was so excited because these young men were neighbors of
his and he planned to follow up with them.
An older man indicated he wanted to read the bible we gave him to learn
more about accepting Christ because he thought it was a difficult process. He thought only Jews were supposed to read
the bible! But, the gospel was shared
with him and he said he felt like he would make that decision after reading the
bible for himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We prayed
with several others that indicated that they were believers but had some prayer
requests. Many bibles and tracts were
distributed. Damont shared a devotion
between games and gave an invitation to accept Christ. Several children and men indicated they made
that decision. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">After the
trip to the ballpark, we were taken to a local beach and treated to a wonderful
meal, which we all enjoyed. We went to
the market on the way back to shop and to have one last visit to the local ice
cream shop!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We had
devotions with our team in the evenings and had time to share about our daily
activities. We were also blessed to hear Oscar’s testimony. I am sure he gets tired of sharing it with
each group, but he has an amazing testimony of God’s work in his life. It touches the hearts of all who hear it and
makes them feel as if they know him personally.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We are so
impressed with all the men and women who serve on Oscar’s team. They are so kind and friendly, and they work
so hard. They start early in the morning
and finish late in the evening. The men
are very protective of us when we are out.
They all love the Lord and it shows in how they treat not only us, but
also everyone in the villages. And the
food. . . we think we will lose weight when we go, but not the way these women
cook. The food is excellent and the
freshly made juice each day is delicious.
These women work so hard and they are always either cooking or
cleaning. There is so much love in their
smiles as they interact with us and they truly make us feel welcome. The entire team has a deep love and respect
for Oscar and Rosibel, which clearly shows through in their interactions with
them. And the feelings are mutual as we
see how Oscar and Rosibel treat them with the same love and respect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">It is truly
a blessing to be able to serve with On Eagle’s Wings Ministry. Our church is already raising money to build
another house at the dump next year. The
team members developed a spiritual bond with Oscar and Rosibel and his team,
and look forward to returning to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:place></st1:country-region> to serve the Lord with them. As Pastor Charles stated, they are the “real
deal”!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">God is good! This building
you see here is the pharmacy, a clinic, a recovery room and a lab.<br />
<br />
The goal is to serve the community and evangelize everyone that comes to receive
medical assistance as they will receive free health care, and also to assist
our pastors that we are working with through our feeding programs and anyone in
their congregation that needs health assistance.<br />
<br />
The pharmacy is almost finish and ready to run as soon as we work out a few
details such as put up windows, equipped the facilities with furniture and load
up the pharmacy with meds.<br />
<br />
We will need $ 600.00 dollars a month to run everything mentioned.<br />
<br />
We need $200.00 to pay a local Christian Doctor a basic salary a month to see patients
on the weekly basis and we need $400.00 to keep the pharmacy stocked with meds
to keep it running.<br />
<br />
We need you support and prayers. This is a dream come true! A year ago this
pharmacy and clinic was only a dream, but today the Lord has answered our prayers. Thank
the Lord first to Him for His honor and glory. We also thank IIM for their
support and being the instrument God has used to bless our ministry and
thousands of children here in Nicaragua. Also to all those that have supported
these projects by giving to this cause, may the Lord keep you and bless you
all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Peace Greetings to you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">How are you Brother?
Brother we are praying for you. I have special help request please consider on
this. So if you can do any thing for this program please help us to promote the
Gospel of Jesus in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pakistan</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Brother our Hananiah
Ministry is going to organize a Gospel Revival Program in area
name Sadhar bypass in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Faisalabad</st1:place></st1:city>.
This is very backward rural area and people are uneducated and do not know
about God and God’s word. So last weak me and my ministry visited that area and
the people requested to hear the word of
God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So I want to organize here
a program for poor Children and Christian people. Who do not know about Jesus in
this area, they have not electricity and do not a good place to live.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Brother in the Program I
want to give to children’s clothes, toys, copies, pencils, Bibles and special
food in this program. And Program will be in October 5. I will send pictures of
that program.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I think this is a good
opportunity to spread the word of God through this special program. I can
achieve my main goal, which is this; the people Come to Jesus and hear the good
news of our Lord Jesus. I shall do these things in this program.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1. Children’s will get
gifts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2. They will eat the food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">3. Peoples will hear word
of God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">4. Win souls for Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I ask that you keep
remembering this Program in prayer. It will be blessing for the children and
poor people of that area. (The total cost for this program is $625). Any
amount that you can send will help these poor children and people of that area. If you send some gifts for children’s it will
be good also.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The $625 includes the cost
of Food, Generator for lights, Gifts, Tents, Books, Copies, Stationary, and
Transportation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I need prayers and
financial assistance to arrange this Program including these gifts and
over all arrangements. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The Eagles Wings
Organization in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:country-region>
with Oscar have begun working with a new church in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The pastor of the church
and his wife have taken on the sponsorship of two children a boy and a girl:
Oscar Danilo Fletes Romero and Yenifer Centeno. Oscar is a 1st grade boy, DOB:
April 6, 2004. His parents are Luis Alberto Flete and Pabla Romero. Oscar likes
soccer and the color red. He would like a soccer ball for Christmas. Yenifer is
girl in the 2nd grade and her parents are Rebeca Ayala and Franklin Acosta. She
had 5 brothers and 1 sister. She would like a bicycle for Christmas. Yeni lives
with her older sister. Her older sister came to the dump when she was only 7.
By age 11 their mother had died and she being the oldest sister began taking
care of her 5 brothers and Yeni. The sister is now married and the couple is
taking care of the brothers and Yeni. This family is very active in church. The
pastor recommended Yeni and her family because of their need and faithful work
in the church. Please be in prayer because Yeni and her family will be the next
family to get a new house built when the funds become available.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Greetings from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region>,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I am starting school in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region> for the
14th time. WOW!!! How time flies when you're having fun!!!!!
I would not be here without the people back in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">USA</st1:place></st1:country-region> who pray for me and support the
ministry. Thank you for allowing me to be in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region>!
May the Lord bless you as you have blessed me!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This has been clean up
week. The janitorial staff has been working hard cleaning ceiling fans,
wiping fingerprints, etc. in an effort to have the classrooms spiffy clean when
the teachers return next week. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We are truly blessed with
a wonderful support staff. Teachers are important, but you just try
running a school without janitors!!!!! These people are often
ignored but are very important. The janitors are also our baby
feeders. So, as a thank you, we took the janitors and cooks and
orphanage staff out for pizza! Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Another school year is
starting. We have done a major re-shuffling of teachers and
schedules. Many teachers in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region> have not finished high
school. We have teachers who were "high school dropouts" when
they started teaching. They were very intelligent and willing to work
hard, but lacked money for tuition. We encouraged them to go back and
finish high school and we paid the tuition. I will always remember the
sight of Jack dancing in the schoolyard when he passed Philo, the last Haitian
exam!!!! He suddenly saw himself as the capable, intelligent person he
is! Now, Jack is in 4th year of university. Our high school dropout
will be teaching in high school this year! He is one of our best
teachers!!!!! Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We have 1 teacher
finishing high school and 5 teachers in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Quisqueya</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place>. Tuition
averages about $1250 per semester, 3 semesters per year. By the end of
August, I will need tuition money for these teachers. Education changes
lives!! Our teachers will change the lives of students who will change
the lives of their families and neighborhoods. It will go on and on and
on. This program works!!!!! But I need help with the
tuition!!! Please pray that these teachers can continue going to the
university. <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region>
needs good Christian teachers!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Please continue to pray
for long term help here. The ministry has grown - the staff needs to grow
also. Micah & Rachel & David have been doing a wonderful job, but
we need more. We need teachers and administrators and organizers and all
sorts of people. I know Papa is speaking to them! Pray they have
ears to hear and willing hearts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Teachers arrive on
Tuesday. Please keep our new school year in prayer. We are
adding a classroom and putting another class in a storeroom because there just
is not enough space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Please continue to keep
our legal issues in prayer. We now have 2 Haitian attorneys working
on our case to force the man who deceived us into returning the money he has
for the land he tried to sell us but did not own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In the meantime, we are
still searching for the best place to house the orphanage. That land is
not available but I know Papa has a plan. The Lord knew before the
creation of the earth that this would happen. Papa has it all under
control. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!! Please pray the thief
accepts Jesus and becomes our friend!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here's a God story for
today. David flew to <st1:city w:st="on">Ft. Pierce</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Florida</st1:state> from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region> for medical treatment for a
blood clot in his leg. He was going to rent a car to drive to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alabama</st1:place></st1:state>. Laura and Leonard Bell told
him Leonard would come get him because he shouldn't be driving. It
occurred to him last night he did not have a drivers license with him so he
would not have been able to rent a car. He got a ride with some folks (Mike
& Bonnie) from south <st1:state w:st="on">Florida</st1:state> to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jacksonville</st1:place></st1:city> who
were on the same flight. These folks only had cash, but you can't rent a car
with cash. David had a credit card. The folks would have been stuck without
David and David would have been stuck without them. God opened up the
schedule so Leonard could come get him. Another twist, Leonard
randomly chose a hotel for everyone to meet at. He picked one directly
across the street from Mike's sister's neighborhood, which is where Mike
& Bonnie planned to spend the night! There are no coincidences,
but God's hand at work. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We all are fine by the
grace of God and serving to the Lord. We had wonderful & successful
two meetings of Church leadership on 12 & 13 July in Burewala
city south <st1:place w:st="on">Punjab</st1:place> where 80 and in Mian Channu
where 48 Pastors, Evangelists, social leaders came together. <st1:place w:st="on">South
Punjab</st1:place> is much unreached where there is small number of servants
of God. God gave me vision for these regions to reach with gospel and to train
& equip to believers for expending the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">kingdom</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">God</st1:placename></st1:place>.
We prayed together and I delivered the sermon from Luke 4:17-19, and
encouraged to all, I gave them challenge of evangelism & Church planting.
The spirit of the Lord touched to all leaders they received so abundantly
blessings & gave glory to God, filled with joy and took stand to reach out
people with the gospel of Jesus Christ in their regions in unity. They said
that they want such kind of amazing & souls saving campaigns &
Conferences. They have promised us that all Churches will stand with us
shoulder by shoulder. So together will reap the great harvest of souls and then
new Churches will be plant and leaders shall be train and the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">kingdom</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">God</st1:placename></st1:place>
shall be expend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I and local team had full
cooperative meeting with Member National Assembly of Pakistan (Chohdry Muhammad
Naziar Ahmad) Burewala so thank God who touching leaders and preparing them for
our favor & help so we could proclaim the Good News to unreached & lost
people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hey there to all of you.
We have had many blessings this summer. Here are a few.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">During the first week of
June I set up a new translation office at our place in Grano de Oro. As I was
going through my stuff, I flipped open a book and my eyes fell on a subtitle
which said: LACK OF VERNACULAR BIBLE. It was a discussion of the mass
conversion of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Armenia</st1:place></st1:country-region>
in the 300’s under the leadership of Gregory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">One of the major problems
in the movement was that the Armenians did not have the Bible in their own
tongue. In fact, their language had not yet been reduced to writing. So for the
first century of its existence, the Armenian church had to get along with Syriac
and Greek versions of the Bible. In church services the preachers had to
translate from these versions into the vernacular for the benefit of the
people. Not only did people not have a Bible to study on their own, but the
preachers themselves were deficient in their understanding of the Syriac or
Greek, so their renditions of the text were at best deficient. To make matters
worse, when the Persians came into control they forbade any use of the Greek
language and burned Greek books. The present Armenian alphabet was devised to
stabilize and strengthen the Armenian church in its struggle to maintain its
existence against Persian aggression. Eventually the Scriptures were
translated into Armenian thereby strengthening the church of an entire nation.
(Taken from Historic Patterns of Church Growth by Harold R. Cook p.26.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It reminded me one more
time why we are translating the Bible. 60 years ago my parents began studying
Cabécar and reducing it to writing. Now there is a growing church, but they
still clamor for more of the Scriptures in their own language. Until the entire
Bible is translated into Cabécar, the church cannot be all that it could be in
terms of faith and impact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In my last update I
introduced a certain Román, whom I believed God had led me to hire to help me
draft Old Testament text into Cabécar from Hebrew. I needed someone to help me
in Leviticus with names of body parts, all kinds of chopping, cutting,
slitting, pouring verbs, and spatial concepts like down, out, on, with in
Cabécar. Roman started work on June 11 and has proven himself as an
excellent worker. He is adept in both Spanish and his own language and has a
very strong personal commitment to Christ. He is catching the vision not only
of translating the Bible into his language, but of going to homes and
individuals trying to persuade them to read or listen to the Scriptures in
their own language. He lives in an area where people have a low view of their
own language so this is exciting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">June 30 we had a
teaching conference to introduce the translation of Daniel 1-7. August
30-31 we will have two days to work over Leviticus 1-7 with friends from
churches all over the mountains. I am looking forward to being able to share
with them the wonder of the work of Christ and how we come to God from these
chapters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Aug 2nd five of the
kids took me to our other translation site in Valle de la Estrella. Saturdaythey
got the place looking nice before leaving Sunday. David Lopez came
and we worked the next ten days on Daniel and final printing issues for the
Cabécar New Testament. I am privileged to have such gifted help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">On the home front Keiry
keeps the house going and the shelter for our needy friends open. Rebekah is
recruiting new patients for this semester and trying to close out loose ends
from patients from last semester. Joel thoroughly enjoyed his second quarter at
the Esepa Bible ollege. He also accompanied me on a scripture distribution trip
to Cabecar and Bribri villages in the south. Hannah continues bossing the guys
around at her job and making coffee for them. Mark thinks it should be illegal
to have physics on Saturdays this semester after having classes Monday through Friday.
Ruth is praying for a good average on the college entrance exam on Sept. 20th.
John and Abby continue to enjoy school, help with chores, and doing some home
school in English in the evenings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Keiry and I celebrated our
25th wedding anniversary on July 23rd. We are so grateful to our Father
for all his grace and goodness to us. We want to thank each of you too for your
gifts, prayers, and care for us during some part or throughout all of these
years. May you be blessed and encouraged in return.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We were able to finish the work at both Godwall’s and
put the roof on the other church for Pastor Juan. We also went to the
orphanage. The group had a great time and we got everything done that we needed
to accomplish, including the VBS as well.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We were very pleased with the way our week went in
Costa Rica. Sat. we arrived & were transported to your place without a
problem. Sunday am we went to church & Damon preached with Ruth as an
interpreter. Several of our guys assisted with the Lords Supper during the
service. The church ladies had a luncheon for all of us. Then VBS started a 3pm.
A bus brought around 15-20 kids to join the 10 already there.
(31 kids ) Great evening with the children. We had a chalk picture
done on the birth of Jesus by Don in our opening while I spoke and
Pauline interpreted. We got up on Monday & the ladies went to
the city park with Matt to witness & pass out packs of gum, while the
guys worked on the drainage problem.. Cliff went with Tommy to assess the
situation at Juans church in the country. Monday at 3pm VBS again, this
time Sammy taught with Ruth as interpreter. Another chalk drawing on the
death of Jesus. VBS was great! More kids today (total 53 kids) Tuesday
am guys worked on drain & gutters. Ladies prepared for
VBS party. Tuesday at 3pm VBS & party (Birthday party for Jesus)
(total 67 kids). This story was on the Resurrection of Jesus. Chalk picture
done while Aimee acted out part, Ruth interpreted. For 45 min. at the end of
VBS we had a great time with noise makers, balloons & such. Seemed to be
quite a success. Wed. up early to go to mountains with Godwall but he
canceled trip, so we all went to the park to witness & pass Chiclets
gum with Spanish words (Christ Loves You!) and tracts. It was a success.
Ate lunch then to the orphanage to visit with children. This was a great time.
The workers there were very sweet & allowed us to look inside & take
pictures. We left all the children bags of goodies as well as giving the leader
many balls & supplies. On to church that evening where several of our group
gave testimonies. Thursday up early @ 530 to be ready to paint basketball court
@ 6am. How beautiful it turned out! We left around 8:30 am to
go to Juans church to work. We got to visit the school, play with kids in the
park, have church @3pm with Juan. The guys were trying to finish
before the rain came, did not happen. Finally got done all soaked to the
bone but it was great to see it finished. Tommy ,Cessna, Matt & Cliff tore
the bad boards down on Wed. What a hard job that must have been. The week
proved to be very busy by the time supplies were bought , transported,
unloaded etc. You will see a list attached as to what was done during
the week. Everyone worked hard. We had a free day so we went
rafting with Matt. We all loved it. I felt free to do this because each
youth had a parent there so I would not have that responsibility in case
someone got hurt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I wish I would have had more information on how things
would line out before we went we did not know until 1:00 on Sun who
would lead VBS at 3:00 when Ruth told Matt it would be us. God
does get the glory! It all worked out even though it was hour to hour decision
making. I wish we could have had more interpreters to work with us in VBS
classes. Our group feels the need to know Spanish. Tommy was instrumental in
all we did, he took care of all our needs at the house. The food Indra cooked
was great! We were not aware of the last day needing to have food on our
own. We found out that not many places take credit cards I think that is
something the next groups should know. Matt did a great job getting
info from Godwall and sharing it with us, as well as getting us
around town to get supplies. I think it was one of the best places we
have been for a Mission trip the accommodations were great and it is
simply beautiful there. The people are also very kind although most are
Catholic & do not have a relationship with Jesus. If you need
more info please call. Theresa <o:p></o:p></span></div>

message from Oscar recently shared an exciting ministry that they were working
on that had never been done in the area. Today we are preparing to do something never
done before in the history of Nicaragua or Central America we are doing a Children's
Olympic Games where we are busing over 4000 children to a baseball stadium in
the city of Leon so they may participate in different events where they will
have the opportunity to win trophies but also the main idea is to present the
gospel through the whole event. Please be praying that God will be in control
in Jesus name. <br />

in Alabama that I have not seen for over twenty years. I had a lot of rich time
with my parents and with my brother Steven and his family. Thanks to all of you

Testament Translation<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One day about six years ago, I was returning home after
5 days in the mountains with Reyes, who at that time was my constant companion.
We passed a village, Klewä Ri, and Reyes, for the umpteenth time, asked me for
the run down on the area and the important kinship relationships there. Since
Reyes was from somewhere else, I was functioning as his tour guide. I was so
tired by that point that I said, “I don’t really know anything about this
village. Why don’t you pop your head in find out for yourself?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Reyes satisfied his curiosity and we continued on.
Finally about two hours before home I just sat down and sprawled my legs out in
the middle of the trail, in very un-Cabécar like fashion (they rarely admit or
show tiredness.) Inside of me I thought in desperation, “Lord is there anyone
within three hours of here who hungers and thirsts for righteousness?” It just
seemed so impossible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A minute or two later a young man came walking up the
trail and stopped to talk to us. “Where are you going_” we asked. “To Klewä
Ri,” he answered. He was married in at Kächuk Ri but going back to Klewä Ri to
plant some crops. He seemed like a good man and a man of peace. His name was
Román. Sporadically over the next years I began to seek him out to share the
Word with him and persuade him about Christ. Eventually he took a job in the
city for over a year, but often before coming home for a visit, his wife would
send word to me that he would be coming so that I could go and visit him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One day in January 2010 I was sitting in our church
praying, very discouraged. The door opened and in walks Román. He had finished
his job and come home with funds to build his own house. But what he came to
tell me was that while he was in town he had started attending church. One
night he had a dream in which he saw the Lord Jesus. The Lord said to him,
“Your sins have been forgiven. Lift up your hands and worship me.” His faith
has never wavered. He became an avid student of the New Testament in his
language (Cabécar) and goes with this wife reading the word to other people. He
attends a Cabécar church whose leadership does not read the Bible in their language
in the church, (nor in Spanish much either, for that matter.) But the leaders
appreciate Román always getting up to read a passage of the New Testament in
their language.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When the audio New Testament came out, he began to play
it for night visitors at his home or to go out to other homes and play it for
them. He even went to his village of Klewä Ri and tried to play it for his
mother, but she is a strong believer in their traditional religion and did not
want to hear any.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is hard to find men in this culture who are not busy
bodies, like to provide for their families, who do not weary of having to sit
and think hard, and show ability for this type of work. He has a nice family
that respects him. So awhile back when I began to think about hiring someone
more local to work several days a week with me on the Old Testament, I thought
of him. I still work a week a month with David Lopez and occasionally with
Reynaldo, but though they are very experienced, they live too far away to help
me only a few days a week. </span></div>

him, but not long after I got up on Sunday there was Roman standing out in the

comes by to see me and pray with me. He said he thought I just might be

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Please be in prayer for
Oscar in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:country-region> as the
continue to distribute Christmas presents and share the love of Jesus with the
families in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
They want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. They are
providing toys and basically a block party type outreach to some of the poorest
children and families in the mountain areas of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Oscar asks – “Please
keep us in your prayers as we are living right now to go to the mountains a 7
hour hike after four hour drive to get to the children where they have never
recieved a Christmas present before. In
the name of Jesus we will be taking food, toys, candies, piñatas and most
important the Love of the Lord with us to share with them. They hope to provide
and update and photos of this work soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The reason I am writing you is because we need your help. As
many of you may know every Christmas we try to bless as many kids as we can
each year. As the Lord provides, the idea is to be able to put a smile on a child’s
face by sharing Christ’s love with them in a practical way by being able to buy
a toy for the child. These are the children in some of the villages that we
work with through our feeding programs. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each year, we go into their
village an entire day and we do activities, games where the children can win
prizes, bring in piñatas, candies, clowns, Christian music, and a hot special
meal. This is similar to festival or block party that runs for the entire day.
Many of these children will not receive a toy this Christmas because their
parents can't afford to buy one for them specially if there are two or more
children in the house. Please help us put a smile on the face of a child.
Last year with the help of some of you and IIM we were able to bless 3500
children by providing a special day and giving them a toy. This year we do not
have any funds for the Christmas party yet, but we believe we serve a great God
and together the body of Christ will do great things. We need $ 2.00
dollars per child to cover all that I mentioned above and we also will share
the gospel with the parents as they come with their children to the activity. Please
contact Pastor Charles Pinkerton at IIM so that they can get the funds to us. We
do everything through IIM. May the good Lord keep you and bless you and your
families and ministries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">I spoke
to you about my father a Haitian pastor. He's 86 years old and he was walked
every where he went. He has Pastored a couple of congregations. He spent all
his ministerial time serving the churches without any kind of salaries or
benefits. While He was still serving, five to six months ago, he got
a stroke that left his left side paralyzed. Prior to the stroke, He broke his
left legs due to a fall. His faith is still holding on but He is
physically incapacitated. Since the stroke, I have been to <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country> to visit
him. Some family members and I have covered quite a bit of expenses: From
hospital expenses, after care and daily livelihood. In <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country> there is
no such thing as a retirement plan, insurance, Medicare packages etc. Do you
have any one of your partners that can assist this pastor/ veteran in the
faith with refurbishing his home where he suppose to be living or
help with his medical expenses. I am still praying for a miracle for him
but I am all confident God may use anyone he wishes to use under the
circumstances. I thank God for our friendship and future partnership. I thank God
for your ministry. I will be sending some pictures that I took when I was there
via other emails.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Item #1:<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We need help with the
Christmas outreach celebration for the children in December. We are trying to
get this request out early so that everyone will have enough time to help us
raise the needed funds. The cost per child this year is $3.00. We want to share
the love of Christ in a practical way by getting each child one toy and
preparing a nice meal for them. We hope to make a big day of it in the villages
by bringing in clowns and having piñatas and candy with music in the back
ground. It will be an all day activity where we will share the gospel with the
adults that come on that day. Last year we were able to bless and put smiles on
the faces of 3500 children with the help and support of IIM. This year we
are waiting to see what God will do and you could be a part of this event. Please
keep in mind that many of these children will never get a toy on Christmas unless
we step up and do something because their parents can't afford to buy them
anything in most cases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Item #2:<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We need help to be able to
make the monthly payments on the new land where we have the warehouse used to
store the food for the feeding units. This food is used to feed over 9000
thousand children a day in the different villages and cities in remote areas in
<st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:place></st1:country>.
The monthly payment is $1200 for 12 months. We have been doing ok with payments
with teams funds but as the year ends we do not have any more teams. Our September
trip canceled therefore we will not have the extra funds to make payments until
teams pick up next year. Anything we can come up with the owner will take and subtract
it from the total amount. We are blessed that he is not very demanding on the
time or the money. We will not have to pay any extra taxes on the land. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Item #3:<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We also desperately need
to update our truck. The white Chevrolet we have has a gasoline engine and is
constantly breaking down. We are spending a lot of our resources to keep it
running plus it uses a lot of fuel. If we could replace it with a better 4-wheel
drive diesel truck that would be a big help! We must have a truck to deliver
the food to the churches and villages where we feed the children. Many pastors,
churches and villages are in the mountains in places we can only reach with a
4-wheel drive truck. This truck is also our primary way to get around to do
sports ministry and all the other ministries God has sent us to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There are other needs in
the ministry but we consider that these three are the main ones for now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Thank you all for taking
the time to read our needs. Please pray about them. On behalf of my family, our
ministry and all the children and lives that we are able to touch because of your
obedience to come down or to give to help the kingdom grow in <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nicaragua</st1:place></st1:country> thank
you and may the Lord bless you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
