Update December 2008

To Our Appreciated Friends,

We bless, love and appreciate you more than you will ever know.  May God wrap His arms around your heart this Christmas season and give you the assurance of a prosperous New Year.

Here’s a little update of what we are doing this week in Guatemala.

A week with the kids

This week we started our annual Vacation Bible School in our “kids program” in Santiago.  We are pleased to announce that we started with 250 children on Monday and we are sure it will grow throughout the week.  Rachel, our missionary from England, has done a fantastic job organizing this move of God and the children will benefit.

The town where we have this Children’s Club, really needs this kind of activity to distract these children from dealing emotionally with the gang violence, hate and acts of revenge that they are exposed to everyday.  Many of the young people of this town, between the ages of 13 to 25 years, are so vile and absorbed in darkness, so our Children’s Club makes a positive difference in a society out of control with lawlessness.

Personal Note:

  1. Pray with us that our adopted son, Porfirio, has no problem renewing his “visa.”  We go on the 9th of December to talk with the US Embassy.
  2. Pray with us that our finances do no drop any lower than they are.

Be looking for a full-color newsletter at the end of December.

May God bless you,

Mike and Pat Black.
