Greetings from Washington State.

I am finishing a visit with Cathy and family, getting ready to fly to Chicago on Wednesday.  From there I will be visiting a number of churches in the Midwest, returning to Bolivia on October 22.  Your prayers are appreciated for protection while traveling and the leading of the Spirit in sharing the vision for the work in Portachuelo. 

I am able to speak with Marion almost every morning.  She has extra responsibility when I am away.  Please pray for her at this time. 

The group who were baptized

We had one of those very special times shortly before I left Bolivia.  Six teenagers who were raised in the Assembly were baptized.  They need our prayers as they struggle to live as Christians in a very permissive society. 

The Portachuelo Christian School faces a constant challenge to uphold Christian values in a society that is more permissive all the time.  The administration of the school has their hands full dealing with students, parents and staff.  Pray for the Lord to give wisdom and grace.

Two weeks ago the students presented a talent night; music, poems and drama.  Each class from kindergarten through high school presented something in the program.  Everything had to have a Biblical theme.  I was surprised at the response.  I have never seen so many people out to a school program.
