Hello Everyone,
We are asking
everyone to pray for an upcoming meeting Ryan will
be having with a man he met on the web. His name is
Randy Pierce with
Extreme Missionary Adventures.
They seek to help others in remote locations around
our world and help with human needs such as medical,
dental, construction, educational and other basic
needs. After talking with Ryan, it was soon evident
that we shared the same vision. Randy wasted no time
getting his plane tickets to fly into Chihuahua. He
will be here on Monday to see the area where we
work, the needs and the possibility of networking
our ministries together. They have just sent a well
drilling rig to central Asia and they were asking if
we had gotten a drilling rig yet. Tuesday they are
scheduled to make the seven hour trip the the
village of
Sitanachi.
They are trying to work it out so they can plan
another trip to the canyon village of
Guacaivo.
Everyone pray that Randy has a safe trip here with
no problems and that this fact finding mission would
work toward accomplishing God's will in this
"uttermost part of the earth". Pray also for their
safety as they make the trip on Tuesday because the
mountain roads are dangerous.
We want to give God
praise for answering the prayer request for little
Stephanie "Fannie", one of Melena's friends in Creel. Those of you who received the email about her, will remember that the doctors in Chihuahua removed a malignant tumor from her jaw. They didn't know what type
of cancer it was at the time and were praying it would be the type that responds to treatment. It was, praise God! She begins her treatment in about ten days so keep remembering her in your prayers. This has been a very
hard time for that whole family, but God has used it for us to show His love to them. In the above picture Fannie is in the middle. Yes, that
IS a bar you see in the background, unfortunately we live behind a bar!
Ryan has made contact with another couple; Gonzalo and his wife Crystal (an American) pastors of an Assembly of God church here in Creel. Hno. Gonzalo also speaks good English. They recently did an outreach south
of Creel this past month in a little village. We praise God for this additional contact because he has access to more villages we can go into and present a visual Gospel to them with the Jesus film and also possibly offer the blessing of
water.
Monica's new braces went well.
Monica has a checkup at the Shriner's Hospital in
April, so everyone please be praying that the
doctors release her
from the "rough road restriction" and that she can
soon start going back into the villages again.
Blessings to all of
you,
Ryan, Shelly,
Monica and Melena
