“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”  (Psalm 119:11)

“HALLELUJAH!  HALLELUJAH!  HALLELUJAH!”  We have now seen the thirty one days of January come and go and we were able to witness a special move of God regarding the building of a school in Guatemala.  I do not know if we ever had a “goal” per se in the beginning of this effort but our Hallelujah goal was five hundred thousand dollars.  The Lord honored that and it pleases me to announce that we have received $516,160.74 in gifts and pledges toward the construction of the school.  I am telling you that will make a Baptist shout!  It did me!  I have been shouting for days because I have been looking at the numbers and just kept saying, “thank you Jesus!”  Absolutely amazing!

Individuals, churches, ministries, et cetera have graciously given to help get us to this point.  No gift has been too small and obviously none has been too large.  I can only say “thank you” to each person, each church, each ministry that has given.  We have crossed denominational lines, state lines, racial lines, social lines, gender lines, age lines, all lines and have come together working for a common goal.  Together, with God, we can!  Together, with God, He did!  Give Him glory!

I am pumped!  Have you figured that out yet?  The mission house just got invaded by thirty three Northerners and not even that has rained on my parade – LOL!  I am obviously just kidding as these are some of the finest folks you will ever meet.  All of the team arrived together and we will all be taking part in a ground breaking ceremony at 9:00AM tomorrow.

We still have a way to go in order to be set financially for the first year as there are administration costs, curriculum costs, uniform costs, food costs, et cetera.  We also want to add the third story quickly.  So, will you pray and spread the word?  We hope to have another video up and running real soon.  (Looking at you Tony!)

Wow!  How does one wind down after this news?  Hallelujah!

I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus!
