August 2014, Update

Dear Saints,
2014 Aug Visiting

Visiting friends and churches

Well, the summer is over and so is our home ministry assignment on the East Coast.  We had a wonderful time!  A huge thank you to all of you that opened your homes, held dinners and special meetings, arranged speaking times in your churches, smiled, shook our hands and blest us.  Thank you to those who wanted to visit but could not and encouraged us anyway.  We pray earnestly for each of you that the Lord multiply unique blessings for each one and that you will know a little more just how much HE loves you and we do too.

            We have been participating in a prayer endeavor with fellow believers around the world called the  “5:15 Movement.”  Monday through Friday at 5:15 AM (whatever time zone) we unite in prayer focusing in on Acts 5:15 for a move of God in our local area, as well as praying for the daily situation in Israel.   I believe that because we have been faithful for several months to passionately seek the Lord in agreement, even just 10 minutes a day, we are now seeing an amazing breakthrough in our village.   Parents in our own village who have been opposed to sending their children to God’s school for these past 11 years are now the first in line to register for the coming year.  I am overwhelmingly humbled.
While we were in the States, a much needed election was held in the village to elect new community leaders.   In the past, the people made some very poor choices.  This time, God moved and He placed a group of excellent men and women, about half of whom are firm believers.  This coming Monday, the elected officials have asked us to come and pray for them as they begin taking on new challenges.  What an honor and responsibility.
            Several praises are in order:
**The USA visa of our Ecuadorian daughter-in-law, Mayra, is progressing faster than anticipated.
**We thank Zakry Fleshman for his year with us and pray God’s leading for the next phase of his destiny.
**Carrie Dotson’s Ecuadorian visa was approved last week.  Hurray!  She will be with us for the coming year.
**Warm, ENTHUSIASTIC, public “welcome back” at the community meeting last week.  Wow.  That was a first.
**Several faithful supporters and the children of Carrie’s church have already asked to sponsor students in the Tambo school.   Tremendously encouraging.  Prayer support is critical; financial support necessary for every child.
            Even if you received the hard copy DVD this summer, please visit our website to view our 2014 video presentation of what God is doing in this corner of the globe.  You will be blest.    www.sealaluz.org
            Together for the Kingdom,
