Beloved brethren in Christ, the grace of our Lord be with you always. God is good and His mercy eternal, we can say until now that the Lord has helped and sustained us. The life of every missionary is focused on the absolute dependence on God, because we live by faith and we walk by faith as children of God called to the ministry giving due honor to the name of God. We are grateful that His presence is with us. The ministry is difficult but so far we can say that we have worked and are working in what we have been entrusted, as we all know God has given us the ministry of Oasis. This is a ministry that helps low-income people, who are living in misery not only spiritual but also materially. With the help of God and the Hogar Shalom, the residents are given food, literal and spiritual. We need your prayers for these people to acquire a commitment to God and receive Him as their personal savior Some are believers but most are attending more out need not by Christ. We know that God's word does not return void and the seed is being sown in their hearts. What need first from everyone are your prayers, second your financial collaboration, both are necessary to sustain the work of the Lord in our ministry. Philippians 4.10-13 says, “How grateful I am, and how I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but for a while you didn't have the chance to help me. Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to get along happily whether I have much or little. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.” Our trust is in God and if our Father is taking care of the birds then how much more will he care for us who are His children.

Friends, our second ministry with the children's home continues. Some children have become sick from the common flu and have prayed a lot for all who live in the home that we are not affected by the H1N1 influenza that is affecting many countries and not excluding ours. Please pray for the children and all staff working in the home that God will keep us free from any disease. Pray to God for wisdom to advise us on the scriptures to share with the children and together we are in charge of the spiritual area for the children. Hoping that the grace of our God be with us all. God bless you, I thank you in advance for your prayers and help to our ministry, we love you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
