Well… I’m still using the e-mail on the old computer… so… if you know someone who has a newer address that isn’t getting my updates, could you forward it for me?  Thank you!

I want to thank you all again for your prayers and your support…  you have encouraged us with your prayers, your notes, your interest in what God is doing here in Bolivia…  You are special and important to us… Thanks!!!

We believe that we are in a spiritual battle…  The Bible talks about it… that our struggle/fight isn’t against flesh and blood, but rather against powers and principalities.  At El Jordán, we are working with kids and young people who have been on the streets, drugs or on the brink of slipping into this lifestyle… but who desire change.

Well, here we are... continuing on in the ups and downs of our lives...trying to keep our eyes on Christ and the "things above"... but sometimes its hard when things don't go the way you think they should!!!! =) Problems with my vehicle... and problems with the computer are things that seem to plague me... I got my truck to my front door on Tuesday from the body shop... and the battery died... I got a new battery... when the whole electrical system went kaput... the mechanic thought it was the "brain"...which would cost $400 just for the parts... but he wouldn't be able to tell me for sure until he worked on it more the next day... It turned out to be a fuse!!! ...so that was great news... but now my computer is acting up and I can't use my e-mail on it.. I'm using the e-mail on my old computer, but the addresses aren't updated... Hopefully I'll get my laptop up and going again soon... I had plans to write another update... but that might have to wait a bit...

Many of you have asked how the neighborhood meeting went… Well… it depends how you look at it…

Humanly speaking… it was terrible…

 …but… we know that God’s purpose will prevail…  we know that “all things work together for GOOD for those who are called according to His purpose…” and that His plans are for good… not for evil… so.. right now, even though things seem to have turned against us,

…WE KNOW WHOSE SIDE WE’RE ON!!!!

Are you anything like me?  When I’m thinking about the future, I’d sometimes like to know the answers NOW… even though I might not NEED to know quite yet, it’s easier to have “faith” when we can see… even though that no longer is faith!!!

You’d think I’d learn…  I’ve seen God’s powerful hand at work in my life time and time again…  It’s amazing.  In my last letter (epistle, book, whatever you want to call it!!!) I told you that I’d write about what was happening in the ministry… but please forgive me… I need to regress for a bit first… 

Back in 1995, I came to Bolivia to help out in different ministries, looking for my niche - “God’s will for my life” - when on the side of the road… in a broken down car… with street kids/drug addicts… I heard God’s “call”…
