Dear friends,

Many of you know that life in Venezuela is not what it was and that we have not been living down there. We have been serving wherever we can and seeking anything the Lord wishes for us to do. We have been feeling for months now that the mission work for us will take on a different look. We will continue to need your partnership and indeed are seeking more of you to jump on board.

Steve made a trip to Haiti and his heart was really touched by what he saw there. He wishes to be greatly involved in helping to build the school and orphanage there. Also he has been asked to make a trip to Venezuela early next year to go on a survey trip. Many times over the years they hear reports there is a tribe that has never been reached. They wish to try once more to go to the area and see if they can find any concrete evidence. They also want to make trips to the villages they had been working with. Mike plans to work toward having the gas to go and he and Steve and the believers of Cosh take a month or more and go up and down the waterways.

Because of our totally American status we do not feel living in Cosh is an option for us right now. Getting supplies has become very difficult so the fewer
that live there the better. But our hearts have never left behind the ones that were struggling to grow in the Lord and need help. We believe the Lord would have Steve make trips down to work with Mike and others to do what they can to get out and reach those that need help. Mike and Gary both have asked him to do this. They have obtained a piece of property down river in Las Esmeraldas where they hope to begin holding the seminars they were having before. They would like Steve to come down a few times a year to help develop this property and help with the seminars.

We also believe his skills in building can be greatly used in helping to build churches and other needed buildings wherever help is needed. In order for him to be able to go whenever and wherever we need to raise the support to live on and for his travel. We are asking for continued support, increased support and new supporters to raise the level we need to concentrate on his going out.

The JUNGLE for us now could be in many places. And with your support, together lives can be changed with many different languages, faces but with one Spirit.

With your help we can add more countries and faces. Will you partner with us as we seek to follow the Lord’s work wherever that might be? With the needed funds we can be prepared to go as needs arise.
