February 2018 Newsletter | Reaching the Lost through the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Latin America and a closed nation

February 2018

Partners and Friends,

Greetings in Jesus’ Name!! I am writing you from warm and wonderful Western PA,, where it is a balmy 18 degrees. The team was together last week in Latin America where it was in the 80s. Spring is 6 weeks away,, we’ll make it. 🙂

We have some important things to share with you this month. So I’ll get right to it:

We raised the funds for this widow and her family to have a home closer to treatment in a major city in this closed nation. — **Evangelist’s family needs your help!**

One of our main evangelists, who was 1 of the 5 that began with us, has recently had a heart attack and gone home to be with the Lord. He was 37 years old. He leaves behind a 31 year old wife and 2 children,,, with one of them being a child with MS. The only hospital in their nation that can apparently help the girl with special needs is in the main city which is forcing them to live there. They are in need of purchasing a house which is much more expensive than in other places. We are trying to help her and her 2 children purchase a home. We have around $1,500 raised by a previous donor but we need to raise $8,500 more. If God would lay something on your heart to help, please let us know. Thanks for your prayers and consideration in this matter.

Also, we are redoing a web-site for the ministry. Check it out at: www.bridgesforlifeministries.com. You can see the projects coming up as well as the evangelists/church planters that we are trying to get on the field. There are currently more than 10 that are trained and waiting to get on the field. $40 puts them on the field full time as a church planter.

If you are interested in upcoming trips, check out some of the recent trips that the ministry has taken: trips.bridgesforlifeministries.com. Trips that the ministry has planned and that are coming up are:
