We've been robbed!  A week ago Saturday, thieves broke into our home.  This is the fourth in a string of burglaries that have hit our ministry.  It started when a pastor's wife was mugged downtown.    She had just changed money for construction expenses.  Next, building materials and equipment were stolen from the construction site of the church in Luis Espinal.  Then, Pastor Daniel's house was hit, and finally our home.  It is clear that we are in a spiritual battle, “for we wrestle not against flesh and blood...”  As I stood in the unfinished building and preached, I looked at the crowd that had gathered to hear God's Word.  What a blessing to know “greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world”!  While it has been unsettling to feel targeted, we know the victory is ours!

Praise Notes:

1.   Praise the Lord for a great Bible conference in September!  Nearly 500 attended the three night, city wide campaign of our churches in Tarija.  What a testimony to strong national leadership! 

2.   Praise the Lord for the 4 teens who trusted Christ as Savior at a recent youth meeting.

3.   Praise the Lord for the privilege of preaching at the 23rd Anniversary services in Tabladita, and the 5^th Anniversary services of the church in Luis Espinal!
