God is With Us
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid
or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will
never leave you nor forsake you
One sure thing we know is God is Good. As you
know from
our last entry, we had mentioned that around this time last
year, we
had suffered through a difficult financial period not
know if our ministry
would survive the fiscal year. We rely
financially on teams sent here from all
over the United States.
We want to thank the Lord for his provision and mercy.
We
are now at 100% for this year. Praise the Lord! We love to
thank everyone
who prayed for us andask to keep praying for Lord to continue His ministry here
in El Salvador.
Teams have came & gone
They have left a lasting impression with our
communities. That includes our two local C&MA churches, opportunities
like
visiting church members to encourage other family members to attend or even
opening the door for the Gospel. Especially our after school; La Fuente
ministry/soccer program. A huge thank you to each team member that took a
moment to learn a child’s name or sat down with them to learn more about what
it means to shown love to those who need it the most.
We had an amazing run of (12) team to round out our
summer. We are looking forward to all the teams that have built relationships
here and have plans to return to continue building those relationships. We are
also excited with a six team members that expressed interest in coming back as
interns. While we are on the subject; we currently have one resident: Laura,
who is on a two year stay. We also have an incredibly tremendously intern named
Tou. Both are working very hard learning the sacrifice of the Missionary
lifestyle and in their own way accepted the call to one day become long term
missionaries. We are also very excited for our newest resident Anjoleena. Anjoleena will be arriving in
November. She is planning on a 2 year residency. We ask that you would pray for
Anjoleena. For her travel, finances and smooth transition to the culture and
our staff. In addition, we are also waiting on another resident Andrea. She is
currently fundraising. Pray that for her and her funding as she prepares for a two
year residency. We would love Andrea to arrive in January. If you like more
information about praying or even help funding interns or residents. Please
contact the Lor Xiong at XiongL@cmalliance.org or Kevin Cabrera at envisionwired@gmail.com.
The last team we had this season helped to renew the Wired Store. The income we generate through the store helps with salvadorean staff salaries. |
Next steps
Tony and Kevin are going on another American
tour. They will be visiting partner churches and sharing what the Lord is doing
here at Wired. They will also be sharing the future goals. Goals like the acquisition
of the intern house. We are currently renting the intern house where Laura is
also living. The home is about 200 yards from Wired. If possible, we would love
to find partners to help financially. Like we mentioned, Tony and Kevin are
doing an American tour visiting our church family. Tony will begin the tour and
Kevin will join him later in the tour. We ask if you're in the area and like to

La Fuente
La Fuente is one of our ministry that is
relentless to out growing our small vision. With the addition of the boys
soccer team in April and the girls flag football team in July, La Fuente in on
track to multiplying its number of kids. The number stands at 35 and will soon
become 50 by next years time. In May of 2015, we began with 15 kids and are on
track to triple our numbers. We are witnessing the true power of the Gospel.
Because of our growth, we have been carefully planning our next steps. Our new
goal is to move out of the school and into the community. We have been
searching for a place in the community in proximity of the school to establish
as the La Fuente Community Center. There are legal and special permits that we
need to acquire as well as finding a prime location for our community center.
Lastly, this expansion does not come at a discounted price. The funds necessary
can be steep. We would like for those who believe in this ministry to pray.
Pray all these things we mentioned and more.
Prayer Request
- We’d
like prayers Thanking the Lord for his perversion us and our families.
- Funding
for our intern house. The expansion of His ministry here.
- Our
children from La Fuente. That the Lord continually breaking through to
their hearts. Also for the move into the community with location, legal,
permits and expense that goes along.
- Wisdom
& Vision to constantly see ministry opportunities and resources to
build His Kingdom.
- Tony
& Kevin’s tour
With the amazing Grace of our Lord Jesus,
Envision Wired
El Salvador
