Heat is a Luxury
Article submitted by Norb & Julie Kurrle, Field Coordinators in Paraguay It’s been cold here the last few days and today we woke up to about 0 degree celcius. We’re giving our new wood burning stove a work out; yesterday we kept it burning all day! While we are thankful for a cozy home, the [...]

Tell Me “My Story”
Article submitted by Julie Merrin, Field Coordinator in SE Asia Rachel was sitting next to me recently…chattering away, as usual. I’m not sure how, but somehow, the conversation turned to her asking something about “her story”. The story of how she came to be with me. She has heard this story many times before, but [...]

Busy Time in Puerto Maldonado
Article submitted by Jim & Sue Brannan, Field Coordinators in Peru Once again, it’s been a very busy time as always here in Puerto Maldonado, Peru—and a very hot and dry month. We have not had a good rain all month and the river is really going down. The last time Sue and I were [...]
Argentina: Fall 2010
The Valle del Lago (Valley of the Lake) is located some three hours west of Cordoba and is situated on the banks of a lake called Dique la Vinya. The property is actually about a kilometer walk to the lake. It was founded in 1979 by pastor/missionary Philip Saint (brother of Nate Saint from “End of the Spear”). It is now being managed by our close friend and pastor Juan Carlos Diaz, from Cordoba.
The vision is to take an existing building and to build a second floor dormitory to house up to 20 people with sleeping, study and bathroom facilities. The downstairs will have a carpentry shop and blacksmith/welding shop. This will become a drug-rehabilitation facility to help restore broken people both physically and spiritually back to productive lives in society. The need for this in Argentina is great says pastor Diaz.
The project needs three teams to be completed. We already have one team coming from Scranton, PA in October. We need two more teams for the month of November 2010. We could do a team in early December after Thanksgiving if needed. Each team needs to raise $6,000 for building materials. Men and women are welcome and even families are encouraged to come. Teams will be housed in simple apartments at the Valle del Lago and it would be nice to have women on the team to prepare meals. Living at the center will lower the cost so that, depending on the cost of airfare to Argentina, each team member will need to raise about $1,500.00.
