Dear Brothers,

Our labor in the church of Basadre lately has consisted mainly of visitation because many of our brothers and sister from the church have been sick with a disease called "Dengue Fever." It has spread because of the heavy rain. The streets have become lagoons of water, and this has led to more mosquitoes. For our brothers with limited resources we have taken up offerings to help them.

This month we will have been serving at the church in Basadre for 17 years. Recently something amazing happened. On a Sunday when we were going to meet for the worship service, we found it hard because our neighbor was having a big party. There was such the gathering of people dancing and eating on the street that they closed this street, so it was very hard to go through. Many dangerous youth and adults were in front of the church across the street. They were even sitting in front of the door to the church totally drunk, and it was very hard to complain to them. The music was so loud that it was hard for us even to listen one to another. We decided to go to our homes to pray. Evidently this was a work of Satan, and in this place he works strongly with many people who are captive by him. But God has placed us here, to destroy the works of the enemy. That is why we continue proclaiming the gospel of God, of sin and of His judgment, and His mercy and great love.

Regarding the Faithful Men Bible Institute in Cieneguillo, I'm taking charge of it per the recommendation of the seminary. I'm visiting some of the pastors from this area who are laymen, encouraging them to get training. For some this is difficult because of their financial situation. Others think don't need to get training. My goal is that the majority of the the pastors from this area may get trained in these modules. Please pray for this, especially in the areas of Huancala, Chalaca, Piedra Rodada, La Penita, El Algarrobo, etc.

Please always pray for us, for our family, our ministry in the church of Basadre, and for the Seminary.

Sincerely,

Your servant in Christ,

Carlos G.
