What a whirlwind of a time we had in the United States. Lew and I both agree it was the best trip back we have ever had in many different ways. We spoke in several new churches, made many more wonderful friends and received promises of teams coming to help in 2011. We look forward to seeing you all then. As many of you know, we are requesting prayer for Jose Ingalls, the father of the orphanage with whom we work very closely. His health is bad and the doctors are having a hard time discovering the problem. Also, his wife, Gloria, lost her father just the week before this mysterious illness attacked him. Please keep them and the 24 children in their orphanage in your prayers. We have a team coming from Georgia in November to help complete the 3rd orphanage and we would love to see Jose totally healed before they arrive. That is our prayer. Please pray with us for his healing.
We also need a helper at the Bible College for translating and administrative work as we lost both of our helpers while we were back in the United States, so please be in prayer with us for trustworthy, dedicated people to help us. The wonderful lady Elisabeth who has been so faithful in helping us has other obligations until next year and we were so sad to hear of her need to leave, but hopefully she will return next year.
“Thank you” seems inadequate to express our gratitude for all of your hospitality, encouragement and support while we were back in the U.S. We enjoyed our time with all of you and are now back in the saddle and going 90 to nothing to prepare for the work we have going on for the next few months. Please keep us in your prayers, and know that you are loved and appreciated.
For more information you can visit Mariesa on Facebook or visit our new blogging site www.mvimi2.wordpress.com. Once again, thank you so much. We are praying that God will bless you.
In the service of the King,
Lew and Mariesa
