Support Update...63%

 

We are very excited to be at 63% now! God has provided 13 new supporters (churches and individuals) in the past 6 months, and our support has nearly doubled in that time. We are thankful for those of you that faithfully give of your time and your money to help us on our way to Peru.

 

We have several more churches that would like to partner with us in the coming months. Pray with us that God will enable them to do so.

 

Please pray that God will continue to give us good meetings and enable new churches to support us.

 

Deputation Update

 

We plan to head out West this summer (Western South Dakota and Eastern Colorado/ Wyoming). Thank you for praying with us about meetings in that area. God has provided meetings for much of the time we are there in July and August. Right now we have 8 Sunday meetings and 2 mid-week meetings during July 15-August 19. Please pray with us that God might allow some of these churches to partner with us.

 

After consulting with our directors at Baptist Mid-Missions we are targeting March 2013 for the end of our deputation. We would love to enroll in language school in January 2013, but that goal seems a little out of reach at this point. We need to be at 85-90% of our needed support in order to commit to language school, and we must commit 2 months before the start of the term. If you can commit to pray with us that God will supply our necessary funds by March 2013, will you email us to let us know that you are praying with us? We truly appreciate the investment of your time and energy on our behalf.

Hooray for Springtime!

 

It is a balmy 77° today in Watertown. Kind of reminds us of a place we like a lot (Trujillo, Peru, for those of you who are wondering). Springtime is a fun time of year: the sun is shining; the thunderstorms are rolling through; the flowers, trees, and grass are waking from their winter slumber; and the mice now have a reason to head outside again. We love Spring!

 

But, even more importantly, Springtime reminds us of our Savior's resurrection. We celebrated Easter just a few weeks ago, and it was a wonderful reminder of how the Resurrection changes everything. Because Jesus rose from the grave, conquering sin and death, we have access to our Heavenly Father; we have the promise of eternal salvation; and we have love, hope, joy, and peace as we walk in Him each day. What a marvelous change transpired the day that Jesus rose again!

Thank you, thank you for praying for us. You are such a necessary part of our team. May God richly bless you as you serve Him today in your corner of the world.

 

Until all have heard,
Caleb, Ecko, Joseph, Jack, and Isabel Stein
