Pastor Bob Kelly and Barb write from Nicaragua

Bill & Connie:

Hope you are doing well and healthy and that your ministry is prospering.
Think about you all off and on - we were using some of Connie's materials
in our Bible class. I don't know if you told us or someone else, that you
are attending the Village Church. I have been a follower of Matt Chandler
for quite some time - really like how he teaches and sees the role of the
church.

Anyway, we just wanted to thank you for your support of the project in
Nicaragua. We really appreciate it.

We are in the process of building our second building, which will have 3
classrooms and a computer lab. We should have one classroom ready for
the start of classes in February and then will work on the other ones
throughout
the year. Am including a (cell phone quality) picture.

We were able to purchase the land the school is on - makes life a little
less
complicated and will be trying to form a Nicaraguan non-profit in the
next year
to cover things better legally.

We will have our first kindergarten graduation this December - a really
big deal
here. I'm sure it will be tedious and fun at the same time.

Daniel Ortega won re-election (even though his candidacy for 2
consecutive terms
is illegal), and now he controls the assembly and the courts as well.
Looks like he
is heading to an Hugo Chávez style of government. And to top it off, the
Texas
Rangers lost the world series.

We hope you had a good Thanksgiving. May God continue to richly bless you.

Burma Pastor and students suffer much.

Dear Brother and sister in Christ,

The fighting, battle in Local of Myanmar in some state, still the
situation is enough good and peace, still lacking in economic
progress, but still not yet good. NOT YET BETTER. As I have said and
told to y0u, no would be the graduation service for this year. No
graduation for the students and the school, very poor and lack in
finance, for Church rent, feeding Cake and Cold drinking and purified
water bottles drink and for power and for cleansing fee. Taxi hiring
etc...

If the situation has improvement in economic in other and if possible
next time and next year. Thank you

Brother Van

News From a Very Dear Sister in Christ in a Tough Country

Dear Bill and Connie,  I just came to the mail center today and got the message late.  However I know that God will always be with you , anytime and at any circumstance.  I thank God that your surgery was miraculously taken care of by Our Great Surgeon who heals and comforts us not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. I know that you will be healed perfectly and be in normal condition very soon. You Are Blessed !!!  My Mom had to be hospitalized 3 time since April 2011 . She was recently discharged on request . She is suffering from COMPLETE HEART BLOCK. Her Heart rate is between 37 to 42 /min. She is mostly on Oxygen tank. By the grace of God and prayers of  brothers and sisters, she is now rather comfortable without Oxygen inhalation. Her appetite is not good and strength is failing. She is now 94 yrs. These months I have to be near her all the time to monitor her and could not access to the internet very often.  I always have you both in my mind.  God Bless. Love, Ruby

Dear Brother in Burma almost Died a Year Ago But The Lord Saved Him

My dear brother Bill Westfall,   Haleluijah Praise the Lord! How great is our Lord and how great is His faithfulness! Jesus Christ is the Great Physician and His practice never closes and we do not have to wait for an appointment . His words never fail for His children.  “ I am the Lord who heals you”( Exodus 15:26)  I thank the Lord from the bottom of my heart that He really is the One who did the surgery and do trust that He must provide you good health and long life for the glory of His name and for the broader of His kingdom.   May all the glory be to the Lord.  Your brother in Christ,  Mang Al.

Trying to print Bible's in a Very Tough Contry

Dear Bill,  We are praying for you. In the near future we will be producing the N.T Bible for Chin people, those who have not the bible till toady since 1970. We are most crying to pay at the printing shop of Ebenezar Press, to cover the printing of the Bible cost. To be receiving the miracle of God for this needed funds.  Yesterday Myanmar Authority issued the News for foreign currency, In the near future we will be using the foreign currency, we can sell it and buy it through the Companies, they have given an authority and permission to buy and to change foreign currency freely. It will not be problem and troubled for us. The license for the Exchange rate to take care freely , but every day their board will be for the exchange rate.  They have given to 6 companies in Yangon to take the responsible . They issued that News on Thursday of 29th September  2011 . This also one of the changing of New Government of Myanmar. No longer will be using the private channel. It will be free on selling and buying for foreign currency.  We are going well, except the money needed is crying , I want it is good to coming Jesus. God bless.  Pastor Van Cung Tum
