Dear Brethren, may God bless you. We thank god for the blessing of serving him because we can now communicate and share with you about the work we are doing in Barva. We are grateful to him also for his care always over us.

We are grateful to God for the opportunity that we had in May to welcome in our house my father in law and sister in law that came from El Salvador, after my mother in law passed away to be with our heavenly father. My wife and I rejoiced with their visit and it was especially of great support and strength for the family that went through those difficult moments and for that separation that we know is temporary but is still difficult.

Thanks to the Lord for the meetings with the deaf that we have held in our house to share activities and to listen to the word of God, that due to testing and College duties we had not been able to meet, but thanks to the Lord we have return to the meetings that are an opportunity to grow in the word of God and to have more time for fellowship.

We also thank God because in the month of June we celebrate the our first anniversary for the class for the deaf and was of great blessing because we had a Sunday in which, in the second part, the group directed the prayer, participated giving the announcements, collected the offerings and I was able to preach to the group; the deaf and the hearing. It was a blessing and motivation for everybody and it was a wonderful time also.

We thank our Lord for the visitation we have been able to do to the deaf because this motivates and encourages them to go forward. We are praying to God to give us more opportunities to reach more deaf people to receive Christ, this is our everyday prayer for him to make possible for them to go to church also. Thanks God for Jennifer a deaf girl, for whom we had prayed. Since we had her visiting our class, she was very happy and we keep praying for her to come back again, her father has not allowed her to come back, but we are hoping for God to work so she can join us and for her to be able to stay in the class.

We request your prayers in the project for the sewing classes for the deaf and hearing that one of the ladies of the church will be teaching at our house. My wife will interpret so that the deaf group can understand the directions. The class will be taught with the purpose of preparing these girls since they need a way to make their living to provide financially. Before starting each class my wife will pray and share with them bible verses with a teaching to have the opportunity to give them the word.

We ask you to pray so that next year we can hold the camp for the deaf, so God can provide financially to be able to have it. Pray also for the visitation that we have to do before having the camp, so God can prosper everything, the visit to colleges, and different places in some provinces in our country.

Support us by praying for two deaf people that are been discipleship, they are Isabel, whom we have told you about before in one of our reports and Eliezer another deaf. May God help them to be constant and faithful in the discipleship and so he can give us wisdom also. Our wish is that they grow spiritually and can able to teach others.

We are always grateful for your prayers and financial support that are of great blessing. Our God will reward you for participating in such a way in the ministry to the deaf.

Thanksgivings:

•       For the ministry to the deaf in the church of Barva
•       For the deaf that has remained faithful
•       For the meetings that continue to be held in our house
•       For God's care to our family and for Aby's life, our daughter, whom is a blessing to our house
