"Short-term missionaries, 'Maximizers' and Preparing for Korea"
After what seems like weeks of cold weather, gray skies and rain, the clouds disappeared and left this clear, beautiful view of the foothills of the Andes Mountains as seen from our driveway. What a beautiful sight! We are just entering winter yet they say that it has already been one of the coldest on record with temperatures below freezing for weeks on end at night (pretty unheard of for Santiago).
Life and ministry have been moving along at a rapid pace. With the cold and damp weather has brought cold and flu bugs and our teams have been hit pretty hard. Please pray for the health of our teams here in Chile during this season of cold and flu.
The past month has been highlighted by:
The arrival of 13 college students from the U.S. who have been here for the past 5 weeks helping us meet and reach out to college students at 6 universities all over Santiago. Working with our full-time team they’ve been able to talk with hundreds of students about their lives and with many about their relationship with Christ.
Our second “Maximizers” training for future seminar leaders of a leadership and development program. We will continue with two more trainings in August and October to certify these 17 people in the program so that can use the seminars as an outreach tool among business and political leaders here in Santiago.
The 14 people that are going to Korea for Campus Mission 2007, a conference of 18,000 students and professionals from over 105 countries all have the funds to go. Join me in thanking God for his provision of $2500 for each participant and thank you to all of you who gave to this effort!
Tomorrow I (Doug) leave for Korea, please keep Carey and kids in prayer as I will be gone for 15 days. The kids will be on summer break after next week and I know that Carey will have her hands full. In fact, if you feel the urge, give her a call while I’m gone on our Vonage number: 719-219-6813. I know she’d love the adult conversation!
Prayer Requests:
Please pray for the two days of travel for the team and I to get to Korea, for safety and protection. Pray that God would work in our lives and in the lives of the participants to heed his call in following Him in taking the gospel all over the world.
Please pray for an outreach we will be planning for August 13-16 with the evangelist and successful businessman, Ray Berryman. Mr. Berryman and his wife travel the world telling their story of how knowing God has made all the difference in their lives and the way they have done business. Our prayer is that God would open doors for Mr. Berryman to speak to business, political and military leaders during the three days he’ll be with us.
Thank you so much for your prayers. They are a powerful force in what is going on here in Chile.
In His Grip,
Doug
