Dearest Saints-
Oct. 2, 2004
We are so grateful that you’re gathering tonight. We pray you are encouraged and quickened in your walk with the King of Kings. This is an exciting time as we are spying out the land to see where and how to proceed. Ed has a lot on his plate to pray about and consider and I’ll let him bring you up to speed with that. The pastor of the local church we are attending believes that of the 15,000 people residing in and around Puerto Lempira, about 800 are true believers. The harvest is indeed plentiful. The scriptures that are so alive to me right now are Matthew 9:35-38: “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity. When He saw the throngs, He was moved with pity and sympathy for them, because they were bewildered (harassed and distresses and dejected and helpless), like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, the harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.”
We have visited the hospital and pray to be the Lord’s hand extended there. Please join us in praying for souls to be set free from the power of Satan and that the gifts of healing would flow through us to His glory. Also, between Oct. 7th and the 14th, Katrina and Roger have invited us to go on three medical missions to very remote villages with a couple of U.S. doctors and one from Guatemala. We will be involved with sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ while the clinic is going on. Thank God Katrina is conversant in the Miskito language. We will primarily use flannel board and flannel figures to convey the account of Christ’s life, death and glorious resurrection. Please pray that the Lord would prepare the ground of their hearts to receive the holy seed of His Word, and that it will produce eternal fruit.
Please tell the Millers that Katrina came over this morning, and as I began to inquire about some of the students at the Christian school (specifically, Ursala) she spoke of a little boy named Nancio. These siblings were severely burned when their mother locked them inside their home with a lit candle and then went out dancing until 3am. Katrina and Roger are paying for Ursala to attend school this year and are praying for the ability to send her brother Nancio next year. We calculated it would cost $400/yr. for tuition, uniform, and books. If any one wants more information we could forward a picture and more information. The overwhelming feeling is that this is such a small drop in the bucket, but the Lord knows.
Thank you so much saints for your prayers! Please prayerfully consider visiting us- the house next door is vacant, and of course there’s always room at the inn.
Please let the Millers know that their labor was not in vain. We are so grateful for all their contributions of time, labor and love. To God be all glory and honor! He is worthy of all our efforts as they are done as unto Him, and Him alone. Hallelujah!
May the Lord continue to shine his face upon you all!
I love and miss you all,
Sis. Karen
