Pastor's Blog

All is well with the team in Guatemala – praise the Lord!  Saturday was a good day.  Musical worship and then a time in the Word with Tico Vargas.

The team made their way to the building sites and worked hard until around 4:00PM when the skies opened and the torrential rains came along with major thunder, lightning and even some hail.  Pastor BJ is in charge of the building crews this week and he pulled the plug on the work which was the correct call.

Three houses received the concrete and are ready to be closed up.  One other house is ready for the concrete.  Four others are basically ready for the tin.

Deidra took a group of three or four to feed the volcano folks.  They then did the feeding center.  Holly Isom led a group getting the clothes ready for distribution.

Last night was food and fellowship.

Pray for this team.  Thank you for checking on them.

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Liz Whalen left a comment on yesterday’s entry asking for our prayers.  She had a scan that came back abnormal and will see a specialist this coming Wednesday.  Liz is one of the finest ladies I know and an extremely faithful member of the Friendship family.  Pray for her!

Steve Morris obviously remains in the hospital.  Keep praying for him, Virginia and the medical personnel.

The arrangements for Oscar Petersen remain incomplete.  Lisa has stayed in touch with the family for me and the relaying messages back and forth.  The family meets with the funeral home folks tomorrow morning.  I can tell you for certain that the service will not take place the early part of this week as one of Oscar’s grandchildren is in another country.  Pray for Oscar’s family.

Evangelist Michael Mason arrived in Grand Bay safe and sound last night.  I am so in hopes that the members of the Friendship family will be faithful this morning and evening.

I pray that you will have a great Sunday with Jesus.
