October Update

God surprised us and has provided for us to go to Mexico to see my family and they'll finally get to meet our son Caleb! It's been almost four years since we've been there. We are looking forward to our time with my family, rest and refueling and fellowshipping with the believers in Mexico. This was an unexpected trip, so this month we've been busy getting ready for the trip as well as handing some of the ministries off on top of our daily activities. We will be gone for three months and are praying for God's guidance and provision to go visit our commending church in Oregon. One of the elders will be in Mexico the same time we will be there, and hopefully we will get to see him.

We would appreciate prayers for the ones who will be in charge of the ladies' group as well as the prayer meeting while we are gone. Pray also for the two men that Miguel shepherds, that there will be others calling them and visiting them. I would also appreciate prayers for a young woman who was very affected by a family crisis earlier this year. She was doing really well and was strong in the Lord until a few months ago. I haven't been able to get in touch with her since the end of the summer and would like to see her before we leave next week.
