Dear Celebrating Saints,
Another school year has ended – the 12th year of the school. What an adventure these years have been. Four young warriors finished their sixth grade year last week but all have decided to continue with us under the distance learning umbrella of our affiliate in Quito.
The parents and the children realize that the protective, focused training the students receive with us is necessary before launching into the harsh world. We were blessed to have the parents´ sincere thanks and confidence during the reportcard conferences. Praise God for how He is working through the children to affect the families. 



Ministry opportunities are always before us – most are a result of a Divine surprise. In late May, one of our helpers, Marcia, a young widow with two children, asked if I would please do a Bible Study with her and her extended family. With one of our teachers, Ruth, we have begun a deep, soul-searching study of repentance, cleansing and freedom. After 6 weeks, the group now numbers 10 adults. It is my plan to hand this study to Ruth so she can grow in the spiritual leadership role that God has destined her to walk in. A month ago, another young mother in the village became a widow. God´s surprise was that her local family asked that we come on a regular basis to pray for and encourage her. With Marcia and Ruth, we have started a healing time with the widow on an individual basis; but from the hunger in the extended family, I believe this will grow as well.


Mark´s goal for the ride is to visit small foundations in the Andean countries to offer them positive public exposure of their foundation´s work via his webpage and Facebook blog. Through his pre-travel campaign to raise funds and interest for his trip he has garnered several thousand followers. Although he had no idea we existed, God wanted Mark to be touched in a dramatic way and in turn, release SEA LA LUZ to a totally new audience. Amazing.

Many blessings to you, dear Warriors. We appreciate your comments, news, encouragement and most of all your prayers.
Together for the Kingdom,
The Injerds
