Family: We are now a family of eight! Our baby girl Elena was born on Friday the 24th. God answered many prayers that day, and Elena was born without any problems. She is a healthy baby girl, and is loved and cared for by the whole family.
Building For Victory: In the last prayer letter I wrote that we had a budget of $80,000 for the new building, I spoke with the architects and told them to gut the project and explained to them what we wanted. We want a basic building into which the church can enter and begin services. All cosmetics and extras the church can provide in time for itself. Taking my ideas they returned with a budget for $55,000. So we are currently at 15% of our budget and I would like to reach 25% before we begin. Will you pray about partnering with us in this special project?
Victory Baptist: We are working on organizing the church, and this Sunday we will begin new members classes. Also we will be having our third summer camp at the end of January. Please be in prayer for the camp.
Faith Baptist: Pray for this new work. We have had a record attendance of 37 this last month. Pray for Hernan Gonzalez and his wife Patricia as they work there in my absence. There is great potential in this church.
