“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death,” Phil. 3:10. We pray that as you meditate upon the deep significance of this Lenten season, you will come to know Christ better and enter more fully into His power and fellowship. We have just come out of a very full, but blessed season of ministry here and are moving on at a bit more normal pace. In January, we were blessed with a mission team from Hosanna Free Lutheran in St. James, MN. The days were full, but we were blessed with sweet fellowship with the team members. The next group was from a non-AFLC church led by a previous missionary to Ecuador, and Justo wasn’t as actively involved with the group, though he did drive them around to a few places.After the teams left, we enjoyed a restful, enjoyable two weeks with a visit from Tricia’s parents. They were an encouragement to us, a huge help with the kids, and a blessing to the church as they also shared at a
couple of cell groups. We were a bit sad when they left but grateful for the effort they made to come. Right after they left, we attended a family church camp celebrating carnaval here in Ecuador. Justo has also been Vieworking on his various other ministries, including starting the third and final trimester of the Bible school. He will be teaching I and II Corinthians this term.
Looking ahead, Justo has several all day youth activities lined up in March and then we get to welcome a team of Bible schoolers led by Kevin Olson in April. Our big news is that Tricia is expecting another baby! The all-day nausea has set in again, so please pray for grace for the whole family as we run on “survival mode” for the next couple of months. Having two little ones while sick in bed is quite a challenge!
Thank you for your continued faithful prayers for our
busy, growing family!
Justo, Tricia, Nathanael, and Hannah
