|Hi dear friends,
Well, it is November already! We are thankful always, for the Lord and all He is, and has done for us, but November is a special time to remember His love with great gratitude. We thank Him for you, too!
Mid October we went to a couple jungle cities here in Perú, Tarapoto and Yurimaguas. It was for ministry, but it was also a good time for us to get a change in weather and pace for just 4 days. We thank the Lord for this blessing, and for the opportunity to meet and appreciate the work of other missionary friends. Later in the month, Bob sold his van. Alvaro helped us with that sale and we are thankful it is done. Now Bob is looking for another vehicle that will be adequate for God's work here. Please do pray with us for this. Thanks! For now, we are riding buses and taking taxis, and walking, etc. This is fine and somewhat healthy I guess, but Bob does need a vehicle to take Bibles and other literature to the folks and also for traveling, and for visiting places around the city here.
School is going well, though there are challenges, especially working with teens. We do really thank the Lord for the opportunity to share God's Word with students, parents, and teachers. Please do pray with us for God to work in these lives. Thanks! We had good anniversary celebrations, and the Lord was glorified in that. Now we are in our last bimester, and the kids sure are lively!
As to the building of the school, they are almost ready to roof the third floor. We thank the Lord for His provision for this construction, though we still lack almost $6,000.00 to finish.We trust the Lord to provide, and again, are thankful - Ebenezer - thus far the Lord has helped us! Thanks so much for praying for us and for sharing with us. We have been visiting some of our new believers and older ones who have recently been restored. We are real thankful for these. They seem honestly to be growing in the Lord and in His grace. Truly this is a blessing we are most thankful for. Bob continues to prepare and teach God's Word, to several individuals as well as churches and leadership training.
Many Thanksgiving blessings to you all, Noél for us
