The apostle Paul’s epistle to the Philippians is basically a thank you letter. He was grateful for their concern, their generosity and their “participation in the gospel” (Phil. 1:5). I feel the same way. When you pray for me, or donate to our work, you are in full participation with…...

Thank you so much for praying for me during my long trip to Sri Lanka. That was not the longest flight I have ever been on, but it seemed like it! I was in the air for 23 hours, plus some layovers. God gave me grace (and a pleasant stopover…...

Thanks to everyone who prayed for me and the team that went with me to Guatemala in early July. I could most definitely feel the prayers! Below you can see that there were 27 people from Puerto Rico who came on that trip. They are all members of Casa del…...
