Summer 2012 update





 
CAMINO GLOBAL CONVOCATION 2012—The Camino Global Convocation was a tremendous highlight for us and our mission. Not only do we have a new name as a mission, but we have a new leader who was installed in a special ceremony during that memorable week. We met at Rocky Mountain YMCA near Estes Park, Colorado, an incredibly beautiful spot. It was a time of refreshment, fellowship and challenge. One brother from Central America said, “See you all next year!” Considering the amount of work and finances needed for such an event, I don’t believe that will happen! But it was a nice thought!

A SPECIAL FAMILY SUMMER




I’m always dreaming of how to get the family together. This summer it happened and  didn’t even plan it! Suddenly we were all (well, most of us) in Chesterton, IN where my kids Mike and Kris hosted us.
What a wonderful time for cousins to get better acquainted and for all of us to just enjoy each other! It was
just 1 1/2 days together, but as always, I’ll take every minute I can get! Jeff, Jeffery, Jesse and Austin weren’t able to make it, but were busy performing at the Creation Musical Festival. We were all wishing
we could join them!

OTHER SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS and PRAYER CONCERNS

 A wonderful visit with Evangel Baptist Church in Wheaton
 Reconnecting with friends, family and supporters in the Chicago area
 Awaiting Baby Hanna #5 in El Paso, Texas! Baby is due August 31st. We’re hoping for an early arrival!
 Launch of the new search engine for ObreroFiel. For several months, we have been working long hours to change the search engine of the web page. It is paying off, as now resources are found more quickly and easily! It was worth all those almost sleepless days and nights!
 Would you pray for ObreroFiel? Finances are very tight right now. We are asking the Lord for the funds to continue praying our Mexican staff for 2013. Pray with us!
 My plan is to be back in Mexico by early September. I am trying to spend time each day working on the web page, but even with that, there is always more to do! Pray for ObreroFiel! God is using this ministry in wonderful ways around the world!

Thank you for standing with me in my ministry. Thank you for praying! Thank you for your gifts that make it all possible.
