You may never quite catch the vastness of your value to our lives but we desire today for you to hear from us. We love you and compelled to continue in the great life much to your credit. Thanks! We appeal to you to keep up with the pace God has placed in your stride. He has not forbidden you to succeed in this world gone mad. He has not challenged you to shrink in an economy that seems to be charging forward with the idea that all is gloom. No, this is the hour and the generation of great growth in God’s best. Jesus is coming soon. We must be robust in our scream to the lost—“Come Now is the Time to Meet your Savior”. Help us do that. We encourage you to share our zeal with your family and friends and together we can all make an impact with the Spirit’s leading. December 11-13 we will be in Osceola, Wisconsin conducting the Winter Retreat. What a great encounter each of us there will experience with our Lord. He will not be absent but in fact will change our lives and lead the charge to meet another one of God’s greatest days yet before us. Come if you can, support as you are called, pray unceasingly. Right beyond that event we are bound for Ecuador. We will be spending nearly 4 months there reacquainting our families together. Again, God is changing this world and we are purposely bringing a Gospel message of hope to the family throughout the great country of Ecuador and expecting many to receive Jesus as Lord for their very first time and others to be reunited in faith with their Savior. We continue in waiting for some of the provision to come in for the trip. Much has come but we are fully aware that there are shortfalls that need to be available. Here again is the list of those things we are still in need of if you are able to assist with these or share with others that they will know how to direct their giving. • $225.00 for additional luggage costs • Gift cards at discount stores to allow us to get some personal needs to take • Digital Camera • Approximately $1000.00 for our on site expenses November has been a very rewarding and productive month. We have such a great time with visitations to churches and leader preparations for the outreaches scheduled for 2010. Most remarkable is the inspirational love we have received from so many of our friends while at churches and gatherings, constantly encouraging us to go forward and press in to see the fulfillment of God’s plan for Cristo Vive International. We had a special opportunity in a home of great friends in St. Paul where we met with a small group of their friends and were so blessed by the enthusiasm and excitement as they shared together with our dreams to see God change our world through ministering to the children and youth with disabilities. If you would like and be able to host a home gathering like this, please contact us so we can plan that once we return from Ecuador in April. We do love you and are going on with our Lord with your prayers and support. Keep us in the game and as always, we are consistently praying for you.
