Hello to everyone,

We hope you are all doing well and are having a great week. We wanted to thank everyone for your prayers as we went to Peru two weeks ago to meet with our team and pray about how God was leading us with the restructuring of our team and the works with which we will be involved. We had good flights both ways and the boys did well as usual. (Having their own headphones was very cool!)

We went to Peru praying that God would really unify us with where He was leading. It was wonderful to visit with our teammates-The Berry's, Sean Galton, and Julie Murphy. We had some really good time with the team talking and praying. It was also very encouraging to meet with the leaders in two churches that our mission is connected with, talk with the 8 college interns that are in Lima for the summer, and to go back to one of the church plants with which the team has been working. We got to see some of the fruit of the team working there. There was a special service for Mark Berry, our team leader, who will no longer be working at the church, but will start looking for other places to start a church. God has certainly been moving in this church.

We were also very encouraged in talking with our team and hearing how they have been working through the changes in the team. The new team is very centered around God's grace and how it works out in the team and the people with which we will be working. We are thankful we had the opportunity to go and were able to be with the team for a couple of days.

After returning to Costa Rica and talking and praying, we really believe that God is still leading us to be a part of this team. What does this mean for the future? We finish up here in mid-November and will head back to the States for a month. There we will get some training, have some medical appointments and see family before heading to Peru. We are excited about where God is leading and do praise Him for all He is doing in Peru!

Praise continue to pray for Peru and our team as we look for new pastors with which to start churches and what other ministry opportunities God is opening up for our team. Also, we ask that you pray for Suzanne as she tends to have headaches when around pollution from diesel fuel. This type of fuel is used all over in Lima. We are currently praying and looking for what are good options to help with these headaches.

Thanks so much for your continued love, prayers, friendship and contact with us.

By His Grace,

Frank, Suzanne, Joshua and Micah
