Praise the Lord, for He is good!  His Love endures forever!

During this past summer, we truly experienced God’s goodness, love and mercy.  We experience God’s travelling mercy while driving the many miles from Guatemala to Canada and back.  While there were shootouts in Mexico just after we had passed through Acapulco, He kept us safe from harm.  While there were car accidents on the highways, He protected us.  While the scare of swine flue was prevalent, we never even encountered the virus.

We also could see his Love and goodness by interacting with each one of you.  We recognized His provision in your gift of hospitality and kindness.  By allowing us to join you in a meal, we experienced His loving care for us.  When you took care of our physical as well as health needs, we saw God living in and through you.  Thank you for everything.

Now that we are back in Guatemala, we are rested and ready to join the work God already begun. In awe, we recognize that we, as well as you, are indeed God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which He in advance prepared for us to do.  Charles is busily repairing and fixing that which broke during the summer months.  Petra is getting ready to accompany medical teams once more.

Please continue praying with us and investing financially in God’s kingdom.  Then, let us praise the Lord together, for He is good.  His Love endures forever!
