Dear Friends, We pray this note finds you well and blessed in our LordJesus Christ. Time is flying, and we areeager to get feet on the ground with our friends in Nayarit, where we will liveand serve at the school in La Mesa for the school year. Collette will be returning with intermediateSpanish and will prosper as she teaches English and Bible studies. I, on the other hand, will form a class ofone at the lowest remedial Spanish level possible - undoubtedly the leastequipped and most poorly prepared for this work God has placed before us. We do trust completely in the Lord, and he isso faithful! Good news from Albergue Fray Pascual, Santos has shared withus that there are twelve young men and women testing for scholarships tocontinue in advanced education.Theschool has performed admirably with an average attendance approaching 120students daily. Our primary goal is to help the Albergue continue to strengthenas a beacon of light. We know the life changing benefit these children and theirfamilies receive through the school and we praise God. Thank you for your prayer, prayer changes things. Pleasecontinue to pray that the $500 a month we send to feed the children may be atleast tripled in the coming year. Ourgoal is to raise $15 per month to feed, house, and care for each residentialstudent. In a perfect world a total of$30,000 a year would cover operating expenses, maintenance, and staffsalaries.We believe these are eternalinvestments with eternal rewards, for both the children, and for those of uswho convert their earthly treasure to the realm of heaven. We trust in the Lord. Jay and Faith Tenbrink are heading back to Mexico as thisletter is being written. They will begin a full time focus on Christianoutreach in the mountains. Joining themin their work will be friends from Centro Cristiano in Cofradia. We are very privileged to join the work Goddirects with the people of the Sierra in Nayarit. Please pray that many are led to theredeeming love and grace of Jesus. Thank you again for your prayers and provisional support. Weneed all the help we possibly can get for this work. The school provides apowerful witness of the life transforming power of Jesus Christ to the mountainpeople. We would treasure the opportunityto meet with you and personally share our gratitude for you friendship, pleasecall or email us as you are able. May the Lord richly bless you, our love in Christ, Tom and Collette
