There are several ways you can get involved to help us minister in Chile: Because it is our greatest need… YOU CAN PRAY FOR US We believe that prayer is essential for lives to be changed. Without the prayers of the faithful there is little chance that we will accomplish much of anything. There are many wonderful folks who lift up our lives and ministry before the Lord on a daily basis, and we are extremely blessed to have that kind of spiritual backup. Of course, as more and more people join us in prayer we can expect to see greater and greater things happening. Can you pray for us? YOU CAN ENCOURAGE US At times, missionary life can be quite challenging. Having grown up as a missionary kid and now serving as a missionary myself along with my wife and kids, I only say it because I’ve lived it most of my life. Granted, some missionaries face greater challenges due to the nature of the countries in which they may be serving, but most missionaries will agree with me (even if they may not say it) when I say that it’s not easy. There are many financial, geographic, and cultural issues that have to be dealt with, and then there’s the whole thing about being away from family (sniff, sniff). But, easy or not, there is no greater joy than to know you are doing what God called you to do - placing your life in God’s service so that others may obtain eternal life is extremely fulfilling. However, most missionaries are not "superhumans" (although I’ve met a couple), and it’s a wonder what a quick word of encouragement will do for anybody!! Just letting us know you are praying for us is a great way to encourage us along the way! And because there are physical needs… YOU CAN GIVE TO OUR MINISTRY Our work depends entirely on the financial support we receive from churches and individuals who give to our ministry. Although we only have six months of on-the road deputation (fund-raising) under our belts, over the years some wonderful churches have commited to support us financially and God has allowed us to be able to make ends meet. Any additional support we receive, however, is very welcome, and would allow us to minister in more effective ways. Please consider the possibility of helping us financially, whether it be a one-time special gift or on a monthly basis. If you are led to do so, you can send donations to the following: (just send in a note letting them know who it's for). Central Missionary Clearinghouse P.O. Box 219228 Houston TX, 77218-9228 Whether it be through your prayers, your encouraging words, or your financial gifts, you too can get involved with us and enable us to be more effective as we minister in Chile.
