<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">How to pray for missionaries?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">“Now I beseech you,
brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit,
that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.”</span></i><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> Romans 15:30</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">In his letters, Paul asked for prayer and gave specific
prayer requests. Paul knew prayer was
important to his missionary journey. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As a prayer partner with those who are called to go, you too
will have an impact that can reach around the world. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Missionaries deal with many of the same stresses you face in
life such as overwhelming workloads, relational conflicts and financial
uncertainties. Often, however, missionaries struggle with these issues alone, without
the support of other Christians. Living and working cross-culturally adds an
additional element that can challenge their emotional, spiritual and physical
vitality.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">There are so many different areas that are important. Spiritual, physical, emotional, financial
needs, open doors, boldness, more laborers, etc. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Let me focus today on just a couple. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Physical issues/Language issues.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Have you ever thought about the physical toll on a
missionary? We eat food on a daily basis
that we are not used to. Sure, we grow
to love the local dishes, but sometimes there are effects on our bodies. There are cultural differences when it comes
to the preparing of food and food itself.
It is not always easy finding the balance. We, as missionaries, must embrace the culture
and the favorite local dishes to learn and be a part of their culture. We also must protect our health and our
children’s health. Is it always easy to
find that balance? No, it isn’t. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">What about the water?
Even though missionaries try to be careful, there are issues that we go
through because of the water. Speaking
with a local doctor recently and after he checked our results, he informed us
that we have a problem with parasites. Something
to take into account, we minister in a country where things are much better
than other countries. What about
missionaries that are ministering in areas where sicknesses are even more of an
issue? Do we need you to pray for
us? Yes, we do.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The city we are working in is known for outbreaks of Zika
and Dengue. Do we need you to pray for
our health? Of course, we do.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">How many missionaries have struggled with serious health
issues? Many. We need good health to be more effective on
the mission field. Without the health
that we need, it is difficult to undertake the many responsibilities that we
have on the mission field. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Have you ever thought about the language struggles? Have you ever considered what it is like to preach
every message in your second language? A language
that you did not grow up speaking. Have
you ever thought about performing a wedding in a second language? What about a funeral? </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Imagine this scenario.
A couple calls you and you know they are quite upset, but you don’t
really know exactly why. You set up a
time to meet with them. They come in and
they are quite frantic. The lady is
going 100 miles an hour explaining her side.
Then he starts explaining his side.
They begin to interrupt each other and continue talking over each
other. What is going through a missionary’s
mind? Well, we are hoping we understand
everything correctly. Why? Because we are working and counseling in our
second language? Please remember
everything we do is in our second language.
This is not our first language. What
if we don’t understand everything correctly?
Could we make a mistake with our counsel if we don’t understand
correctly? What if we misunderstand an
important issue and then give counsel based on something we misunderstand? Instead of helping, we could actually hurt
the situation. Missionaries must get the
language. To effectively reach the
people, we must be able to understand them in their language, and they must be
able to understand us.</span></div>

We need to build a sidewalk here. <br />

Rainy season is intense here. We are praying about a couple of sidewalks for our church. It would help tremendously!<br />
<br />
We also need to work on concrete to the right of the church. It is very hard for our ladies to walk in on Sunday morning. <br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 115%;">Concrete work needs
to be done as soon as we can. Do you
have a team that would like to come down and help us with this concrete
work? Or maybe the handicap
bathroom? We have a place you can stay
for free. We just need help to do some
of these concrete jobs and the bathroom.
Maybe you have a team that could come down and take care of one or two
of these projects. Can you help with the expenses?</span><br />

Just finished writing our recent prayer letter and getting it ready to be sent out. Wow! It is hard to believe that we have finished another year and we are now in 2016.<br />
<br /><br />
Each year has their ups and downs, great victories and their trials. This past year we have seen that through it all, the Lord is always with us and His presence always sustains us.<br />
<br /><br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
We are very grateful that we have this opportunity to serve Him on a full-time basis. </div>
<br /><br />
We are very excited about this New Year. We have a lot of plans and we desire to do more for the Lord; so please continue to pray for us as we start this year.<br />

As missionaries, we know that our goal is to see more doctrinally sound churches planted. We will say more about that soon. </div>

As you can see on this map, Costa Rica is a small country. But there is a great spiritual need here. </div>

There are over 5 million people here in this little Central American country. What an opportunity!</div>

As far as our family, Rachel is half-way through her senior year. Please pray for her as she finishes out this year and that the Lord would lead her to the right Bible college. She is praying about continuing her studies with the deaf. I know she would be very grateful if you could pray for her as she seeks the Lord's will for her life.</div>

Natalie and Caleb continue their homeschooling and are working very hard.<br />
<br /><br />
We hope you have a wonderful year! Let's continue on for the Lord is this New Year!<br />
<br /><br />
Mark 12:30 "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength..." <br />
<br /><br />
Take care!<br />
