January 2021 Update
/We are excited to share with you many of the things the Lord is doing for this upcoming 2021.
The Radio Station -- As you know we have a radio station here going on now for the last 10+ years. It has been a vessel for evangelism and discipleship to the local city and hard to reach farming communities. During the last few years the radio station has been running on auto-pilot. And with the lack of new songs it was like a beaver that builds up a dam not allowing the new water from flowing in and down river. In that aspect the radio station has been in need of some change.
We praise the Lord the Spirit has stirred Danny’s heart to work more in the radio station. He is putting on new songs and we are looking to update teachings. We are also working with Jeff from CC Bakersfield that is helping us with some technical aspects like getting the online radio station back up and online.
Along with the new changes we have the opportunity to join hands in giving towards the Radio Tower this year. The radio tower is rusted out and falling apart. We are currently taking down part of the tower because of safety issues. But the entire tower is beyond repair. We are preparing the spot for the new tower. Pray for the knowledge and wisdom for tower assembly and no fault of funds to complete the project.
The Youth Center – As missionaries get ready for their weekly furloughs we can see that God is raising up others to both lead and help in the youth center. Jaqueline and Victoria are those we are looking to take more responsibility in the youth center, pray for them and that God would help them in this. The youth center has kids in it from unstable families and who are regularly exposed to local drugs in the parks and community.
Home Bible Studies – The home bible studies are the picture in Acts that we get of the church. A church that is involved in each other’s lives and a church that welcomes others into each other’s houses. This year we are planning to have home bible studies companied by discipleship in several homes. Pray that God allows this to come to pass as we have had a hard time with many sicknesses and distractions of the enemy trying to derail this effort.
Prayer Requests:
Suyen – Several of her family members are recovering from a recent car accident.
Moises – His arm that he uses to lead worship and play the guitar is having nerve problems which is affecting his ability to play the guitar and making it difficult. He currently has had to step down from playing.
Doña Karla – She has a surgery at the end of the month.
Judith Arteaga – Has a final hip surgery this month as well.
Radio station – That the tower is up before the rainy season.
Pray for Upcoming Furloughs for Greg and Angela.
