October and November

Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.  Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.   

 Psalms 150:1,2

       Lately I have been having some very mixed feelings. With only three weeks let in Nicaragua I m realizing how attached I have become to this country d to this family. I cannot believe that I have to leave this place so soon.

       I want to thank you for all for your support over the past year. I want to encourage you to continue to support La Semilla Ministry as they continue God’s work here in Nicaragua. With Christmas approaching the Wiebe’s are planning to make Christmas baskets if you would like to support this project please send donations to EFCCM.

       Last Sunday at Bible study we red Psalms 150. Praise the Lord! Lately I have found so my reasons for praising the Lord; feeling the power of the ocean, seeing sky full of stars, seeing God at work in people’s lives and just being blessed in so many ways. We need to remember to just

praise the Lord for all he has done for us.

       The last several weeks have been very busy so I will just tell you a little of what has been going on. here in the past two months. In October it rained and rained and then it rained  little more. Something like 43 inches of rain in nine days Everything was wet and everything started to mold. The rod to Bible study was impassable for  few weeks so we were not able to attend. Just after it stopped raining a short term mission team came down from BC and Alberta. They came to help out with a few projects such as children’s programs, chicken coops and a little bit of planting. I was able to join them for a couple days when they went to Matagalpa to learn about a land bank project and to work alongside the people there. 

       I thank God for all of my experiences here and ask that you would continue to pray for me and the Wiebe’s here in Nicaragua.

Praise god for…

-          - safety while the teams were traveling and the work they did here in Nicaragua

-          - all the blessings he has bestowed upon us

- the Wiebe’s and their willingness to follow God to Nicaragua and the joy in serving him here

PLEASE PRAY FOR…

- myself as I prepare to leave and for the Wiebe’s as they prepare to leave for Christmas

- our Nicaragua brothers and sisters Christ that the Church  will grow stronger

September

       September, the month when kids go back to school, the leaves start changing color and the days get a little cooler. Interestingly enough, the same thing happens in Nicaragua. Except the days are getting hotter and the only color the leaves are turning is greener. However, school has started again for us. It has been a challenge trying to get the youngest two Wiebes settled into their new online school. But, with a little more time they will get the hang of it and be more independent in their school work. So  my job for the next several weeks is to get them settled into online school so they can do it on their own after I leave.

         Bible study is still going good even though we are having a hard time getting there because of the road. With all the rain we have had, parts of the road are pretty much impassable. Sunday school is going very good with the new classroom to work in. However, there are a few children that have stopped coming because their parents do not let them come and I would ask that you pray for these children and their parents, that God would soften their hearts and that they would once again be able to attend Bible study. There are several other people that do not come regularly and I would also ask you to pray for them, that they would continue to grow in their faith.

         With only 2 ½ months left, I need just over $1200 to finish my term here. Please help me finish my time here on the right foot through your donations and prayers. Thank you so much for all of your support over the past several months. You all have been such a blessing to me.

 

Praise god for…

- His protection and guidance

-  The Wiebes and their willingness to follow the Lord

PLEASE PRAY FOR…

- The work team coming in November

- The Wiebe children as they start the school year

- The Bible study and the people that attend it and those that have stopped coming
