A few highlights from this week

Before ending the week I want to take a few minutes to share some praises and prayer requests:

• Costa Rica suffered a 7.6 magnitude Earthquake this week. Amazingly there was relatively little damage for the significantsize quake and there have been no significant loss reported to us by our missionaries or Alliance Ministries. See: Tico Times Report.

  

• We have weekly meetings with the "Alliance Staff" (those who work directly with our missionaries or the ministries that they are assigned to or churches that send them as missionaries).  As our vision and mission is to work alongside the Latin Church we now have staff spread throughout Latin America in the US, which creates scheduling complications. A recent Alliance meeting included staff logging in from California, Arizona, Miami, Costa Rica and Panama.

• Claudia and I have the privilege of providing pre-marital counseling for LAM missionary Heather Braden who is preparing to marry Rigoberto Maradiaga in the next few months. Similar to my previous note, modern technology has made it possible for us to meet with them though we are thousands of miles apart in different countries. What a blessing it's been to share about the covenant of marriage and the unity of two cultures that Claudia and I represent and the two of them will represent.  We've enjoyed passing along the successes the Lord has given us as well as the failures we've learned from. Please keep them (and all of us) in your prayers.

Thank you for your faithful support and encouragement. 

God bless!
