Bible Institute - Oct ‘21
Our excitement to reach Cerro Miel and re-open the Bible Institute classes was overwhelming because to have fellowship with our brothers and sister with whom we had more than 1-1/2 years without seeing has no words. Who was going to be there? How many will attend?
In total, we had 15 students, and many were not able to make it. Two pastors went to be with the Lord due to COVID; others had other commitments and decided not to continue. We are grateful to those who were there to continue with the classes. On this occasion, with “Doctrine of the Holy Spirit.” My mother had the blessing of teaching together with the teachers that came from Costa Rica.
The subject brought up many questions, mainly on the baptism, fullness and speaking in other tongues, questions well answered by the teachers, student’s participation was outstanding; by being open on sharing, we could see that their desire to learn and grow in the Word. Our hearts are grateful that God’s grace is abundant and His love has no limits when He brought us together for such a time like this.
On this occasion, the classes had to be given at Pastor Enrique’s place, for the school had a vaccination campaign, but we must say we are happy with the site. It accommodated the team. The kitchen was right there, so enabling the fast distribution of meals.
Always grateful for your prayers and support enabling the work of equipping to continue. God bless you.
In Him and until He comes back

The work continues
The work in the area of Guabal, which covers Tula, Dayra, Monte Lirio, Venado, and beyond has continued amid this situation.
Mateo reports how they continue to follow up and study God's Word, helping them grow and multiply as the living 5th Gospel themselves.
As you already know, Celina, Lazarus' wife, went to be with the Lord this past month, so your prayers on behalf of the family are highly appreciated.
David keeps the periodic visits to the area to be a support, encouragement, and following up. Our brothers are praying for the teams to come back and help them reach out to new places.
Please keep them in prayers as they go and serve in the different areas, living their homes and families for days.
Donation to Women’s Jail
Even though we cannot enter the women’s jail due to COVID restrictions, we met with the new administrator, who thanked us for the donation taken to the institution. Our conversation was very encouraging, for she assured us that doors are open when conditions allow our going back.
The administrator informed us that most Christians we had before are out of jail due to good behavior, which brings us to starting a new group when doors open again. We continue to pray for believers to remain strong and faithful while inside.
Virtual
The Lord continues to bless us because we continue to be part of the training and equipping of leaders virtually.
Been able to participate in different functions is such a blessing. I have learned so much by serving ministries like Haggai Int’l and Faith Ablaze Int’l as technical coordinator and translator.MG Panama is also coordinating new training virtually, trusting that soon we may be able to meet personally again.
Trip to Manchuila:
It was a blessing to receive Pastor Enrique from the USA this past month. They were able to travel to Manchuila to plan how the team would serve from June 12-19. In the end, the team will arrive at Hacha, where half of the team will stay and serve there, and the other half will advance to Manchuila. Two purposes, 1-Strengthen Hacha by visiting and keeping the relationship and 2-Start a new work in Manchuila, in part, by using the Water Filter project. We need your prayers and will appreciate them.
PRAYER ITEMS:
Safety, protection, and wisdom in the coming trip to Hacha and Manchuila.
As Pastor Heitor meets with new churches and pastors, that God’s grace be with him so we can keep on equipping.
Of course, the situation with COVID has limited us from entirely going to the field, something that we miss so much.
Teo and Ruth’s awaiting a baby girl should be due between the end of August and the beginning of Sept. Also, pray for new projects to come their way.
As a family, to keep on growing in the knowledge of God’s grace and love as we navigate through these days.Thank you for accompanying us in this journey, knowing that we depend on His grace. Keep strong, keep safe.
