Dec. update from Angelica

IT IS AN HONOR TO SHARE ABOUT OUR MINISTRY OVER THE LAST FIVE MONTHS HERE IN SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS CHIAPAS. I SHOULD START BY TELLING YOU THAT FIVE MONTHS AGO I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH US, BUT GOD ALREADY HAD A PLAN FOR BOTH OF US.
WE STARTED ATTENDING A CHURCH NAMED ALAS DE AGUILA ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HEART FOR MISSIONS AMONG INDIENOUS PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE HELPED THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH IN JESUS. IT IS WONDERFUL TO BE IN A BIG CHURCH WORSHIPING GOD WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED SO MUCH FOR THEIR LOVE FOR GOD. THEY HAVE LEFT BEHIND THEIR LAND AND POSESSIONS IN THEIR TOWNS AND NOW ARE LIVING IN SAN CRISTOBAL. BOTH OF US ARE INVOLVED IN ACTIVITIES OF THIS CHURCH INCLUDING TEACHING THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS FOR THE TEENS.
THIS LAST NOVEMBER 13 I WENT TO A SMALL TOWN WITH A MEDICAL BRIGADE. WE SAW A LOT OF NEED AS IN ONE DAY WE ATTENDED TO MORE THAN 60 PATIENTS. A WOMAN WHO WENT WITH US TO CUT HAIR FOR THE CHILDREN TOLD US THAT MOST OF THEM HAVE LICE. WE ARE PLANNING TO GO BACK TO TREAT THEM. IT WAS SO GOOD TO ENCORAGE THEM AND TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS WITH THOSE WHO DID NOT KNOW JESUS.
LAST WEEK THE SPOUSE OF THE PASTOR, THE DIRECTOR OF VOICE OF THE MARTYRS IN MEXICO, A TRANSLATOR AND MYSELF WEN T TO THE INDIGENOUS VILLAGE OF ACTEAL TO MINISTER TO THE RELATIVES OF THE PRISONERS FOUND GUILTY FOR A MASSACRE THAT HAPPENED IN 1997. JUST BEFORE LEAVING I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN I OPENED THE RADIATOR CAP AND THE HOT WATE R SPLASHED UNTO MY FACE. THANKS BE TO GOD THE BURNS WERE ONLY FIRST DEGREE THOUGH I AM STILL RECOVERING.
I HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED HOST A RADIO PROGRAM ON MEDICAL THEMES ON TWO RADIO STATIONS AND RECENTLY WE MET A YOUNG MAN WHO PUBLISHES A DIGITAL CHRISTIAN NEWSPAPER AND HAS ASKED BOTH US TO WRITE A COLUMN EACH WEEK.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE BUSY AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SPECIAL REQUEST FOR DONATIONS FOR MEDICINE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF HELPING POOR DISPLACED PEOPLE WHO NEED FOOD AND MEDICINE YOU MAY SEND YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT TO:
