Saving Grace

This young woman became a Christ-follower in Venezuela in Pastor Antonio Toloza's church when Dan preached there back in June. We praise God for saving grace!

Snellville UMC and the Morales Family

In June we had a great weekend with the Morales family and the Latino congregation at Snellville UMC. In the picture on the left, the Morales(es) are celebrating their grand-daughter's birthday, and on the right Nancy is chatting with a new friend in the congregation. Dan was blessed to preach in Spanish during worship on Sunday, and Nancy enjoyed fellowshipping with adults and children alike. It is a great joy to be a small part of what the Lord is doing to reach Latinos in the USA, in addition to our ministry in Venezuela and Costa Rica. God's grace continues to amaze us.

We're Home!

Hurray, we got home safely to Wilmore Monday evening. Yesterday we started the process of catching up on stuff from being away for over 6 weeks: mail, cleaning, etc. Dan will now focus on dissertation possibilities (please pray for wisdom) and studying for his qualifying exams (in October), plus doing advance reading for his Fall coursework. Nancy is going to focus on finishing the five additional books she needs to read for her year-long course on Healing and Spiritual Warfare. No traveling for a few weeks, so come see us in Wilmore!

VZ, USA, Costa Rica

Since our last post: Dan has safely returned from Venezuela to the States. We worshipped with the Hispanic congregation at McEachern UMC this past Sunday, where Dan preached in Spanish. We flew to Costa Rica yesterday with a team from Due West UMC. We are taking them to visit different ministries in the country, after which they will talk and pray about the possibility of partnering with a ministry in Costa Rica in the future. Alajuela yesterday. Today, we head to Alajuelita, Guapiles, and Siquerres. Tomorrow, we visit ministries in Pocoro and Puerto Viejo. Friday, Coronado and San Pedro, then Saturday we fly back to the States. We will worship with the Due West congregation this coming Sunday, then head home to Wilmore on Monday or Tuesday. Unless we need to go to Jacksonville to visit Dan's mother, who is having some complications following knee replacement surgery. Please pray for our safe travels, and for Dan's mother (Edith). Much Love, Dan and Nancy

Dan to Caracas, Nancy in Wilmore

Tomorrow (July 7th) Dan heads to Caracas from Barquisimeto for 2 days of dissertation-related research. Nancy arrived in Wilmore on Saturday, and is tying up loose ends before heading to Atlanta at the end of the week to pick Dan up at the airport on Friday. Sunday we will worship with the Latino congregation at McEachern UMC, and Tuesday will fly to Costa Rica for a 5-day mission trip. Thank you for your continued prayers. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
