March 22, 2008 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 here 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.
Fannie is in the middle. Yes, that IS a bar you see in the background, unfortunately we live behind a bar!
God has brought Ryan in 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.
There are so many children in the villages just like these. We have a great need for outreach materials for them. A special thanks goes out to the anonymous person that blessed us with paying for the cost of Monica's braces. We were so blessed to find a good dentist here in Creel.
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
