These last couple years have been stretching... Last year, was more stretching financially... We had trouble accessing El Jordán monies here in Bolivia and it caused stress for most of the year... This year, we have been stretched in another way. In March, El Jordán´s administrator had to leave for several months and then off and on for the rest of the year because of a family situation (his father had a brain hemorrhage which he never has recovered from and Melvin has to look after the family farm and also be on call for his mom and younger sisters). This left a heavier burden on myself and the whole team.... At the end of August, one of our workers, Tania, passed away unexpectedly, leaving another hole in our team.... Tania helped with the babies on the kids´ floor, made snacks, helped in cleaning and organization, and was a teacher and guide for our ladies in the baking area.... It has been a difficult season for all of us, workers and students alike.... and yet in all, we can give testimony to God´s faithfulness. Our team has had to come together even more. We all have had to learn new things and teach new things....

Now we are already on the last day of the year.... As we move into 2025, here are some prayer requests:

Hello everyone! Thanks to each one of you who partner with us in one way or another! We appreciate you and thank God for you!

A few weeks ago, we had an “EXPOSITION” in El Jordan, where our ladies made food, crafts, baking and juice to sell and we invited neighbors, friends and churches to come and support our ladies in this very practical way. Workers, volunteers (30!) and our ladies worked together to sell over 250 plates of food, 100 bowls of soup, 100 liters of juice and hundreds of cakes, typical treats, jams, granola, and so much more.... What a blessed time! A living out of Ephesians 4:28 “Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.”

FEBRUARY 5, 2021

At El Jordan we walk alongside many women, who once were on the streets, but now are searching for a different life. Some still have quite hard hearts and we are asking God to soften those. Others, like Gabriela, are growing in their faith and walk with God… They stumble and they fall, they get up again. They need a hug and encouragement along the way. At El Jordan, we pray that we will have the wisdom and discernment to know how to “HELP” without getting in the way of them seeing JESUS in their life.

This is a PRAISE GOD! that was in our Spanish “El Jordan Prayer Whatsapp Group" (and then our El Jordan News Group) about Gabriela, our El Jordán student (single mom of 4 boys between 7 and 15) in who we have seen “FRUIT” in her life over the last year…
