Dear family in Christ,

God has been extremely good to us and we want to update you all with His blessings these last months.

Just this past July the 26th we celebrated our 8th anniversary. It came with the gift of been in Dominican Republic were we spent a hole month, our vacations, serving along with some beloved friends at Score International ministries. We, along with American groups got to share the gospel with athletes, orphans, and people from villages. We also worshiped at a local church were Daniel shared the Word of God the last Sunday.

Evaluating God’s work in our lives, we owe Him everything in our lives. This moves us to stand firm and want to serve Him more. At the moment we are ministering at a small church in San Pedro Sula for already two years, the church was independent but Daniel guided them to submit to the Jerusalem Baptist Church. They give us a love offering every month. It has been a time of establishing a good foundation and also training leaders. Although we both had to keep our jobs; working full time in schools. It is God who blesses the church and brings those new believers. The Lord has blessed us with five new families and singles two. Now a day we have two main groups of discipleship and about five personal discipleships. There are two groups of training; one for teachers and of New Testament Studies. We pray so God affirms our steps in the church and helps us to become a healthy growing one.

We have realized it has always been a great time of our lives when we host ministers in our home. We had a great time with Steven, now a Dr., Haley with heart for missions, Caroline, and more. Just in the past two years, right after we came back from the time our studies in the Bible Institute in Argentina, we had Bethany and Laura, they served in our church and in a school for about four months. We had a guy studying the church foundation options in Honduras. Dario and Keila, my sister, they came back from Argentina to start ministry with Word of Life and stayed for about two months with us before establishing, also The DeLuca Family. And for this new year we hope to welcome Megan and Ryan, Federico and Raquel, Lucas and Mercedez, all of them missioners and friends who want to serve in Honduras in a short or long term. How filled with joy we are when we can serve others in the Kingdom of God by hosting.

As a family we are living a very special time. Gerson Daniel, our first son now is two, he is growing healthy and smarter everyday. We are about to know face to face our second daughter Sarah Abigail, who is due to end of September. Our days run faster then we would want to having to run all the time from home to our jobs, to the church, and so. Still we try our best to glorify the Lord with a family that is strong and together.

And here is mainly were we are. We would love for you to join us in prayers while we go trough a time or organizing and focus our lives. We want to continue to serve the Lord, Daniel has a confirmed call to pastor and Evi to teach. We want to use our lives for the Kingdom more effectively without missing our first and most important ministry: the family.

Specifically we pray for:

• Our nation Honduras and christians that produces changes in society.
• Wisdom as parents and pastoring the church of God.
• A full time ministry A healthy arrival for Sarah Abigail A permanent house to keep receiving servants.
