It’s been a while since the last time.
Today I want to share what we are seen in the past 2 months. I will start by saying that in this pandemic God’s plan has not stopped.
Pastor Enrique
One year ago we built a church building where is Enrique one of our pastor missionaries, where around 25 people got a meeting to praise Jesus, today more than 80 people are meeting and 25 baptisms took place last month.
I met with P. Enrique 2 weeks ago to talk about the future and how the ministry can support what God is doing through him.
Last week we were in one area called Llano Nopo where they have a very new church were around 15 people start to meet. See pictures at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cq-Y4dvCGyQGNoAL2iYThQ6io0ll33_p?usp=sharing

Mateo:
Right now they have almost finished the new church building in Dairy 2, they had to stop because the rain makes everything more difficult, the date we had for traveling there has been moved to November to help them finish build the building or “house of prayer”.

We are planning to start the water filter project in a new area and revisit all the houses where we already have installed them.
God is good all the time brothers and sisters, we glorify God for all the ministry and people that support the ministry and praise Him because God is using us in His master plan.
Local Ministry:
The Lord has allowed the blessing through an offering to provide food bags to 20 more families this month, all of them opened their homes for the couple that did the distribution to hear the word of God, two of them opened their hearts. These are neighbors that either lost their jobs or are still on hold from their previous jobs. This has enriched the witness of this couple among the neighbors opening divine opportunities to keep on sharing. We expect to continue to support them as the Lord keeps on providing. See pics here:

Teo and Ruth have been lead to contact the Youth Center near their home in order to see how they can serve as a strategy to show Jesus’s love and have contact with the youth in the center that is there due to abuse at their homes or community, and be a blessing through modeling God’s love to them.

A new church has started the 411 training via zoom, it is a Guna (people group), the Guna has spread out in our country therefore they are more accessible to reach out for training. There are 11 attendants to the training and what is most important the pastor is accompanying his people. So far we have had two churches that have gone through the process and Pastor Heitor is providing the follow-up.
Our Lord has opened doors for Talsy to assist Haggai International in the coordination of faculty training online. She still being trained but at the same time is little by little running the ball. She has a heavy schedule ahead of her, until December.
We are so glad that already the Lord is arranging the working agenda for 2021, what is going to happen next year? No idea, but we walk trusting in His plans, He will decide whether is time to start or wait or nop, stay still.
As always, your prayers and support are unmeasurably appreciated, we could not do this without your disposition to allow God to use you.
In Him and until He comes back again.
David & Talsy
