Guayaquil—Tom travels to Guayaquil
today through Wednesday to work on corporation documents, get supplies for the
Celebrate Recovery program and hold an important strategic planning meeting
with the pastors.
Lighthouse—We are praising God that
Miguel Medina, father of the late Maycol Medina came forward to give his life
to Christ yesterday. It appears his son,
Edison, may be starting his theological training this month to prepare to be a
pastor/missionary. Eighty-nine people
attended the service yesterday and eight seekers received help at the altar.
The youth gathered after service for a lengthy prayer time.
The
advisory board of the Lighthouse met last evening to plan activities and review
the five functions of the church. From
there we began to plan exactly what ministries we will develop to carry out
those functions. Although we did not finish
our work for lack of time, we did determine that “Marriage and Family” will be
one of the primary ministries. Included under that will be our marriage group
as well as the Celebrate Recovery program we hope to start by October 1. We will continue this strategic work in two
weeks.
Costa Rica—Tom will be traveling to
Costa Rica Sept 24-28 to meet with our missionaries who are in language school
there. We will be evaluating their progress in language learning, reviewing and
tweaking job descriptions and making plans for their arrival on field.
Thinking of you today, as we do so often. Thanks for sharing the good news--there and with us. Richest blessings. Always.
