Brothers, we pray that the Lord would pour out his blessings on you, and especially on the missionaries that you work with  in different parts of the world who are preaching the true gospel.

The last Saturday I traveled to a place called “El Pavo.” It was a hard trip, the heavy rain on the road the cold weather and hunger affected me so much that I felt like I was going to die. My blood  pressure dropped, I had motion sicknesses and a bad headache. My vision began to get cloudy but thankfully one of the brothers was able to get me some medicine and after a few hours I recovered.

That night we had a prayer vigil. We were singing, preaching and praying all night. Then in the morning we had Sunday School.

Six of us pastors were there at this new work where they have already begun to build their building. Santos G. is pastoring this work. His wife has not been very supportive of his ministry there and consequently many of the church members have left and gone to Pentecostal and Adventist churches. Among ourselves, we agreed that those pastors who live the closest to him will try to visit the work at least once every two weeks until it gets reestablished.

Pastor Martin Z. confirmed that he and the brother Brad W. will be visiting us in San Rafael on the 21st of July for the conference. We hope that there won't be any more protests during these days that would prohibit travel. The conference will be from July 23 - 25 in San Rafael and pastors and leaders from the following areas will be coming (from Vaibo, Juanjui y Saposa)

The brothers from the church “Cristo es el Camino” (“Christ is the way”) are making preparations for this event. The brothers are really excited to work and serve the Lord. They don’t have very much but they have hearts that are willing to do the work and it is wonderful.

We request your prayers for this first conference about which we are very excited.
Thank you for the support that you provide for my family and my ministry.

Your brother in Christ,
Arturo M.
