We wanted to take a
minute to update you with a few current prayer needs. We realize that your
partnership in prayer is key in bringing forth God's will and kingdom here in
Guatemala and in the life of our family.
Prayer Needs:
· - Continued health of
our family. Specifically for stomach problems (reactions to foods, bacteria,
parasites, virus, etc) .
· -We are in need of
someone(s) to help keep our kids on an ongoing basis. Lori and I normally have
ministry related events when our kids are out of school and it is important to
have a reliable and flexible person to help that can speak a little English. We
are also praying about hosting a young adult to help from the States during the
months of August and September. We will be hosting many teams during this time
and it would be extremely helpful to have someone here to be available to help
with our kids when needed. We would like to have someone that has a real heart
for our family and someone we can pour into as well. They may also want to
study Spanish or some type pf Art here.
· -For our children as
they adjust to being in school, making new friends, and being in Guatemala
without family.
· -We would like to
relocate closer to our ministry base soon. We have found it challenging to live
a good distance away from the ministry center especially when we are hosting
teams. We also would like to lower our rent to help with our monthly expenses.
We have currently been looking in the neighborhood near the ministry base and
we haven't been able to find anything in our price range that is a safe place
for our family. There are houses in this area and honestly we need a miracle to
be able to get a place in this area that will accommodate our family. We are
making our requests known to the Lord and we are believing and uniting together
with you that we will be in exactly the place The Lord wants
us to be.
· -We could also use your
prayers as we complete the majority of our language school in June. We are
doing good most days, in life and in school but sometimes it is really hard.
Our children also need your prayers and the more they learn the easier it
is for them to adjust to their new life. Speaking Spanish is vital to our
ministry and family and we would like for you to join us as we continue to believe
to learn Spanish supernaturally.
· -For Lori and I, April
24 - May 3, as we help our ministry host the annual medical/dental campaign in
Quiche, which is about 5 hours away from where we live. Brinson will go for
about 4 days and then Lori will go for about 4 days while our kids continue in
school. This is an amazing time when we have doctors come from all over the US.
This event puts the Love of Jesus on display in an amazing way and we are
believing for many to come to faith in Jesus Christ.
· -As we help with our
youth center in Jocotenango. We are in leadership here and are ministering to
hurting youth regularly. We are beginning to disciple youth and leaders.The youth center is doing well and many
youth are growing.
· -Lastly, our family is
making plans to visit the States June 25 for a few weeks to spend some time
with family and friends, and to share with others about our ministry in
Guatemala. Just simply agree with us for the will of The Lord to be done!
Thanks so much for
your partnership in prayer as we follow the will of the Lord here in Guatemala
Brinson and Lori
