1) Praising the Lord for the two sleep-over and Christmas cooking baking and decorating events that where held in my home. One for the adolescent girls and the other for the high school and college young women. Lots of cookies and lots of fun. To Him be the glory

2) Praising the Lord for the Bible study that began right after I returned to Bolivia at the beginning of November. We are studying the book of Esther with the help of the videos and materials by Beth Moore. I started with 2 young ladies and now there are four.

Please pray for Estefania, Claudia, Anita and Alejandra. Pray along with me that the Lord would use this study and our time together to learn to love God’s Word and put it into practice. Pray that we would be honest and transparent in our times together.

1. This year the Jovenes ministry (ages 16 – 24) along with the adolescent ministry are responsible for the Christmas Eve service, which traditionally and not to be changed this year, is a musical drama. Please pray for all involved that they would be excited about it and committed to preparing and praying for the event.

2. Pray for Marcelo and Cara Contreras, as they are expecting a baby girl at the beginning of the new year. Marcelo a.k.a. Mache, is one of the pastoral assistants who leads the worship team and one with whom I work in the youth and young adult ministry. Pray for a safe arrival of this new life and for myself and other leaders as we desire to support them in the best way possible.
