Hurricane Stan Update 2 Dear Praying Family,
From Jon:
Our church was
out shoveling mud again this week. It’s
hard to believe there is still a lot of mud in many homes.
It's
amazing how God uses the difficult times to work
in our lives. It was a blessing to see brothers and
sisters
in Christ reach out and help each other.
I’ve
been picking Eric and his family up for church and
visiting them for discipleship over the last couple
of months. They live in a one room shack on the side
of a mountain. During the rains the wall that holds
up the downhill side of their house collapsed. The
church plans to rebuild Eric’s wall. We have
received $100 to help with this need. Another $50
should be enough to pay for the project. |

It will take months
for Guatemala to recover from the effects of the flooding.
Medical personnel are still working in the
affected areas dealing with many cases of Dengue and Dengue
Hemorrhagic Fever as well as other minor problems. Praise the Lord, we have stayed safe and healthy. There
are many opportunities to help others who are not so fortunate.
Some missionary friends of ours have a ministry building
water filters through churches in poor towns around the country.
They are working hard to place water filters in the areas
most affected by the flood contamination. We would like to
help place some of these filters through our church and other
Bible teaching churches around our city. They cost only $8
a piece.
If
anyone would like to help with the relief efforts please
designate funds
for Jonathan Stone – hurricane relief. www.abwe.org/give/ways_to_give/online.asp From Angela:
I
had my first opportunity to speak in Spanish in church
on Tuesday, October 11th. I spoke to the ladies’ society
and gave my testimony. It was a great experience. I
was quite nervous, but I had already translated my
testimony, so I had it all there in front of me.  I
shared about my “history” and how God was
working in our lives as missionaries. God was working
in the hearts of the women that were there. I had |
invited
a friend of mine to come and listen and she showed
up and sat through the whole service. She said she
was touched by my story. I pray that she will soon
see the need to have a personal relationship with
the Lord. Other women came up to me afterward and
told me how my story touched their hearts. Some of
them wanted copies to share with others.
We will
be speaking in a missions conference at our church
on November 12th. |
