Three teams

So sick but so happy in the Lord

The three teams are doing different things with Oklahoma continuing with ministering the marriage seminar in the morning and then discipleship for the unmarried young people.

The West Virginia team is helping to finish the reconstruction of the transition dormitories. Colton and Gillian will possibly be the house parents there when the work is finished. Currently they are dorm parents with the older girls.

Libby is here for a year, and she is taking care of the Estrelita dorm.

The Texas team went to Antigua.

Even with therapy Dottie´s legs continue to get weaker and stiffer. Today was the worst she has felt probably in 6 months. Prayer is the only sure medicine so again I thank all of you who pray for her daily.

Josue and Estella returned from the states.

The second way we are to stand in spiritual battle is in God´s grace. Romans 5:1-2 says, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”

God´s grace and mercy are intertwined aspects of God´s character. Grace is described as God giving us something good that we do not deserve like salvation and forgiveness. Mercy is God withholding punishment what we deserve. It is His compassion when we have failed.
