Hello Everyone,                                         January 17, 2020

Guatemala is a beautiful country with beautiful people and we are glad to be back helping the Deaf here in El Progreso, Jutiapa. We arrived on Monday, the 6th, but the first few days were busy with a destination wedding for Chase and Jennifer. It was a, you guessed it, beautiful wedding too. Please be praying for them as we believe God may be tugging at their hearts to be more involved in this ministry in the future.

As always when we return, there is a lot to do to get ready for the starting of the school year. We need your prayers. So please take a few moments and read the list below, AND PRAY.

• We are in the process of hiring a new teacher. Please pray for the right person, who has a heart to teach the Deaf.
• We just found out about a new program for our older students to get their Middle School and High School diplomas. Please pray. I’ll send more details later.
• There are 6 new students so far signed up to start attending classes. Pray for these new students and all the returning ones.
• Pray for our staff as they prepare for the year which starts on the 28th of this month.
• We have new afternoon programs starting in February for the boys and girls and we are lowering the age to 12. Please pray.
• We will be speaking with the gentleman who wants us to help him with his dairy business. There is great potential here so please pray.
• Two of our board members, Bob and Nancy Royster along with a friend from their church are coming in a few weeks (February 7-14) to visit the ministry. Please pray for safe travels and health while they are here.
• Mario is back with us as you can see in the photo above. He is growing and maturing into a fine young man. He turns 12 this March. Pray for him to be able to catch up in his studies.

The little girl named Joselin that we have been praying for has been placed in an orphanage closer to her parents so they can more easily visit her. That means that she will not be coming to live with us and go to our school. Please pray that she will have an opportunity to learn a language and learn about Jesus.

Thank you so much for praying. Thank you for your financial gifts as well. We are looking forward to a wonderful 2020. It’s always so exciting to see what God is going to do. May the Lord bless you as you serve Him in this new year.

Serving the Savior,

Greg and Jeanette
