Summer Interns: Abraham Arevalo
Tuesday, September 1, 2009

Viviana has many reasons to be thankful. As her husband finished mowing the lawn, Viviana declares with a smile, "Thanks God, the yard looks beautiful". Her nonbeliever husband immediately replies, "Thanks God? Thanks to me!"

You see, since this summer, Viviana sees her life and the life of her family through a different glass. She gave her life to Jesus and has been growing in her new faith in her new church at Planeview. She faithfully walks to her church three times a week holding little Camila, her one year old baby, Her smile and joy are contagious. As I see Viviana paying close attention to every word during Bible study, I am reminded of the reason why we do what we do, it is all about those precious lives.

I thank the Lord for the ministry of our church planters, our summer missionaries and our volunteers from Arkansas and from the Churches in this Association. Through their services, many lives have been touched with the love of Jesus during the summer here at HOKSBA . Now, because of their faithfulness, little Camila has a wonderful future ahead, her mom will teach her to love Jesus and her heart will grow strong, full of the precious teachings from the Word of God.

Please pray for Viviana's husband, pray that he also will accept the Lord and will join his family in their new walk with Jesus.
