Dear HeartCry Brothers,

I give thanks to God that He has allowed us to serve during these months, helping train laborers in Paimas.

In the last days of November I was preaching in the fellowship of churches in Charan Grande. It was a great blessing for my life to preach to different brothers from different churches. This place is pastored by missionary pastor Gilberto N.

It was really a good time teaching the students from the Biblical Institute of Paimas. I went with missionary Ivan T. Please pray for the students of this area.

In October we celebrated our ninth anniversary, working with the children in the Compassion program, a church ministry. In this program, 12 students graduated, 5 of these are Christians, and attend church.

In regards to the new work in Bermeja (Jungle area), I was visiting the new brothers, and thanks to God they are persevering. Brother Santos was discipling them during this month, and they are very encouraged. I was with them for 4 days on this trip, in the last days of November. We took clothes for the kids and the poorest families. God gave me the opportunity to preach the gospel in the town's community center, where many people gathered, children, youth and adults. Now God has blessed us with 3 more brothers in the work, so now there are 13 people gathering there. We are praying for a pastor for this new work. I told the seminary students about this, and there is a young man who is willing to go. I have spoken to his pastor and God willing, we will send him during vacation time. Please pray for the work, there is a great need of people, and they are very receptive to hearing God's word. These new brothers have 3 services weekly, and are already giving their tithes and offerings.

God bless you greatly.

Javier C.
