Hello everyone, many blessings! After a time of relative absence, we want to share with you how God has been working in our lives and in our ministry in the last few months. These have been intense days and weeks for both the family and ministry, but, as always, God has demonstrated His faithfulness.
As we mentioned in our last newsletter, we are now a family of four. This new phase has been a true blessing! We have enjoyed the adventure of discovering a little more of God's will for our family, which is now a little bit bigger. Every day we pray that the Lord will allow us to be a reflection of His grace to our daughters in all that we do.
Therefore, we love to involve them in our ministry activities, and it has been an immense joy to see our oldest daughter grow in understanding and show a deep appreciation for the things of God, whether it be through musical worship, Bible programs and many other activities.
A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of serving at two youth camp weekends, where we led worship and provided multimedia support. Debbie, with her talent behind the cameras, captured moments and stories that reflect how God moved mightily among the youth of our church. Her dedication in this ministry, which she serves with so much love, was inspiring.
God continues to greatly bless Balootje Worship Ministries. He has answered our prayers by providing us with what we need to produce music with greater quality and excellence. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining us in prayer for these dreams to come true!
Also, by God's grace, we have some very special news to share with you...
Balootje Worship Ministries will be going on its first mission trip, and we are so excited! We have been talking and planning this trip for almost a year, and now God has allowed it to become a reality. In November, we will be traveling to the Dominican Republic to serve at a youth conference entitled “LifeTalks,” an event attended by about 1200 people. At this conference, we address crucial issues for today's generation, presenting biblical truth in response in a dynamic and relevant way.
During the conference, we will have the honor of leading the worship time, and we will also be teaching workshops on worship leadership, songwriting, and other topics designed for local church growth. This trip also gives us the opportunity to visit the church where we served for four years, which will allow us to reconnect with friends and take a little time off.
We invite you to join us in prayer that God will shower us with His grace during this trip and provide for all our needs. In addition to your prayers, if God puts it on your heart, we invite you to consider supporting us financially to make this trip possible. These are our needs:
- Airfare, transportation and food: US$ 3,500.
If you wish to support financially you can do it through our page in the projects section where you will find a link to donate. You can also contact us through our email or our social networks.
We trust that the Lord will be glorified in all of this. Our greatest desire is to see God's people grow through the gifts and opportunities He has given us to serve Him.
We are looking forward to what God will do! God bless you!
