Chapter Three:
Thank you so much for taking a moment to read this letter to keep up with what is going on in our lives. While we have not begun to post monthly newsletters, we are working hard to keep people posted on our journey on our webpage (Loucks2Paraguay.org). Please feel free to check in and see our posted videos on our webpage and follow along on our journey to Paraguay.
Recent Events:
We have been so blessed to be on pre-field ministry. As part of that ministry God has us making contacts with Pastors, Churches and Individuals who have an interest in what the Lord has called us to do. This is a busy ministry, but God has been faithful and shown Himself in many ways to us through this time.
February started off very busy in my secular job which led us to some very specific prayer requests as a family. We began to set specific goals so that I would be able to eventually step back in my workplace and focus more on ministry. We began praying that we would be able to reach 20% by the end of May to which God quickly answered and by Mid-March we were at 20% of our monthly support goal. That is right just a few months into our ministry and we have already reached 20%.
Big thank you to all of your who have dedicated to praying for our family as we continue in ministry. Also, a big thank you to everyone who has taken interest in joining our monthly support team! Being at 20% and growing is such a huge blessing to us as a family.
Meetings Arranged:
March was very busy with the blessing of being at Pioneer Baptist Church of Wilsonville, Or the beginning of the month. It was a blessing to be part of their mission’s month and receive such great encouragement from the body. We have also been attending Pastor’s conferences which have been of great encouragement to us. We look forward to follow-up with the connections.
What’s on the map:
Currently for April we have two meetings set up and are greatly looking forward to these times of ministry. As we wrap up from our second pastor’s conference we hope to begin setting up more meetings soon and begin filling our schedule for the summer months. We are also working on making some arrangements for the fall and are very excited to see how the Lord will continue to fill our schedule and get us to the field.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for Kathleen’s dad (Bill Fowler). He is very sick, and hospice has set up at their home in Wisconsin.
- Pray as we make contacts that we would be able to set up meetings.
- Pray also that we would continue to raise solid monthly supporters for our team. We posted a new goal on our webpage, feel free to go watch the video 😉
Kid’s Corner
While we make visits the kids get the blessing of spending extra time with Papa and Nana. That means they get a little spoiled too! We thank the Lord for family who is supportive of our ministry calling.
Jaha Paraguay Pe!
