NICARAGUA CHURCH PLANTING FOR JUNE 2015



GREETINGS
3 John 2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. As the Apostle John wrote this prayer request to God’s children, I am copying him today with the same pray request for all of those who received this letter.

WAITING
I suppose you might say that our ministry of Church Planting is sitting on hold at this time. We are praying and waiting for the Lord to reconcile some problems within our fellowship so we can move on with planting churches in Nicaragua. We ask you, our mission friends to please make this a matter of prayer and I am sure this problem will be solved and we can continue as we have these past years. Maybe this is a time of waiting and testing our faith to depend more upon the Lord for the ongoing of our work. We find in Isaiah 40:31 the Lord speaking, “They that wait upon the Lord shall RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not FAINT!” Yes there comes a time when God says it is time to stop and wait upon me until I renew you with my strength which never grows weary. As little as you and I may know, that is the kind of strength it is going to take in the days ahead of us. We need to be preparing to reach out with faith for God’s covering of grace which contains all the assets of God Himself.


YOU’RE PART OF THIS
MINISTRY
We have always regarded you, our friends as being the back bone of NICARAGUA CHURCH PLANTING because our friends who have carried the vision with us have shouldered the load of prayer and expense. You are the ones we have turned to and trusted in to help us carry out the vision of planting churches in Nicaragua. The record shows a good report of what has been accomplished in these years of this labor of love and we trust it shall continue until He says, well done my good and faithful servant, come inter into the rest of the Lord. Don’t forget that you have the greatest part in this and when the rewards are passed out you will be there to receive yours.

KEEPING IN STEPT
Our intent is to keep all our mission friends informed what is going on at the present time. At this time we have churches to build, we have a large church that we have informed you of that has not yet been completed; which needs the roof completed on it. At this time our mission fund is not adequate to finish this project, we are lacking another 1,000 to finish it, and if you feel led to do so we would appreciate it so very much. In the month of June we will have one of our mission team members fly to Nicaragua to look over the circumstances and try to solve our problem there, again please help us pray for this transaction to take place.

  1. A becon call to the body for help. How can we say, "Go, be warm and fed" and yet not give from our abundance to aid in the warming and feeding ourselves! We have given and when we can we will give more! Prayers up, blessings on the way, in Jesus' name.
