Uruguay Prayer and Praise

Cherished Family and Friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers over these past weeks. We have been
going non stop, your prayer support encouraged us ,  the Lord heard
your prayers and He strengthen us and opened door. Here is what the
Lord accomplished.

Prayer requested answered

You prayed for the volunteer team, for safe travel, that the Lord
would receive the glory, and for souls to be saved. Though team had
some problems the Lord solved them all. The entire team arrived on the
14th.The Lord answered your prayers and team had no more problems. We
trust that the Lord will bring fruit from the work done these weeks
and He will receive all the glory.  7 received the Lord and one
rededicated their life. . We were kept safe. All returned safely; one
is waiting on a lost piece of luggage.

Please pray that the Lord will bring unity. This month has been
difficult for several members of our team, serious problems have
developed that could even effect the work here. Today there was a
victory when two leaders worked through a serious misunderstanding
Praise the Lord.  This continues to be a prayer request.
