Mark is busy with his Bible Institute classes and preaching at their local church.
They also got to be a part of a baptism in a hot tub which seems like a neat experience. In addition to that Mark is teaching an online class for the seminary in Santiago.
Jenn taught a lady’s group and they both got to serve in their church’s marriage ministry.
Their girls and Kai all finished up with their online school.
Both of their boys back in the States finished up their classes at Liberty University.
Matias got to spend two months in Nicaragua, while Micah worked at their missions headquarters.
Prayers requests and praises:
Pray for Mark to stay on top of all that he is doing as all this additional ministry has added to his “prep time”.
They are outgrowing their current building, praise God for that, and continue to pray for wisdom as they seek out further accommodations.
Their Life Group has continued to grow to the point where they need to split into smaller groups. Pray for wisdom as nobody wants to leave their current group.
Pray that they will be a testimony of God’s grace and that their children will accept God with all their hearts.
Pray regarding an unexpected ministry opportunity for them.
Another missionary family has offered to sell them a property which was designed to be a ministry/conference/retreat center.
