Much Praise to Go Around!


Hey everyone. I am so sorry that this blog hasn't been updated in a while. It has been really hectic these last four months... :( But now that things have slowed down, I plan on really keeping up with the blog monthly. The biggest praise is that training ended at the end of August without a hitch! Congratulations to the 9 graduates who completed the training.

Praise the Lord that the man of peace, Don, in Q, Bolivia asked to be baptized! It is amazing because the Team had only told one story related to baptism, and then he asked if he could be baptized because of his faith in Jesus. Amen! The Lord works in wonderful ways! But please be praying for the Bolivia Team as they continue to minister in the village of Q, with the lost people there. Ask that the people would have an interest in hearing the stories, and that they start to have opened hearts and eyes with regard to the message of the Gospel. Lift up Don as well there in Q as he is the first, and for now only, believer there. Ask that a great movement starts there in Q!

Pray that SC Adam Huser of the Iquitos Team is able to find young Latin men on fire for the Lord to serve on the Team. Also, ask for wisdom and guidance for Adam as he searches for a people group to reach there in the Amazon jungle that is ready to hear the Word of God. Give praise that one young Latin man, Engels, from this last training is staying on for a while to help Adam out with the first steps of the Team. He has been a big help to Adam thus far, and has the potential to be a great Xtremer.

Please be lifting up SC Doug Hutcheson as he is preparing to start a new Team in Esmereldas, Ecuador to reach the Chachi people group. Pray for Journeyman Johnathan Sliski too, as he is Doug’s first team member. Be lifting up the two of them as they start the process of moving to a new city, and trying to make good contacts within the city, as well as within the Chachi peoples. Pray for the Chachi’s hearts to be prepared to receive Doug and Johnathan when they bring the Gospel to them.

Praise God that the entire Bolivia Women's Team was able to receive their visas to enter the country without any problems. Now they can focus all of their energies on reaching the Quechua women. Please be praying for the leaders of the Women’s Team to have wisdom as they develop a strategy to reach the Quechua women of Southern Bolivia with the Gospel of Christ. Please lift up the Team as they transition to Sucre, Bolivia to start their ministry there with the Quechua women, and pray that they may have guidance and peace in this time.
