Please continue to pray about a church planting team going to Brazil to work among the poor. The Brazilian who was thinking about working with us on this project felt he was being called to another ministry.

Today I am leaving for a trip to Peru. Please pray that this trip will be blessed by the Lord.

Phyllis and I will be traveling to Guayaquil on Jan 23. I will be teaching a course on Biblical Interpretation and Phyllis and I will be teaching a course on Personality Priority Systems and the ministry of the church.

MTW has authorized me to look for an assistant Regional Director. I have found someone who has accepted this position. He and his family will be moving to Chile in March. More details on this later.

Our annual Chile Retreat will be Feb 6-9. Roger and Sarah Lambert will be our guest speakers for this meeting.

We are planning our Home Ministry Assignment for the beginning of June of this year.

Thanks for your prayers.

Gary
