Urgent Update!

Violence, threats and the sounds of revolution are in the air and occurring all around us here in Mexico. But then what else is new? Jesus said, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen but the end is still to come. All these are the beginnings of birth pains. (Mt. 23:6,8) What a time to have been sent to the southernmost state of Chiapas, the birthplace of the most recent revolutionary upheaval in Mexico now more than 15 years old. The tension is palpable these days and we are working together with a group from the University of Mexico to organize a forum here that will try to provide a space for dialogue among all the parties in conflict. We plead for your prayers on our behalf as well as any financial assistance you may be led to provide for our expenses.

In the midst of all this we continue to build the vision for our itinerant Bible school as we seek interested pastors, churches and other leaders with whom we can cooperate. We are putting together our curriculum, schedule for 2011 and building a library. Concerning this last item we are in urgent need before the end of this year to pay off the debts owed to various publishing houses in Latin America. Here is a summary of these debts if any would like to help us shoulder this burden:

Kairos, Argentina..........................................$5,000
Kairos (via Juan Stam), Costa Rica.............$600
Semilla (Anabaptist), Guatemala......................................$500
El Faro (Presbyterian), Mexico City..........$900
Bible Society of Mexico................................$400

Thank you for your kind attention to our urgent need. Thank you for your prayers!
