Welcome to the new blog!

We have finally set up our new blog since the discontinuation of the Vineage service. I am excted about gettting this blog started and sharing as much information about the ministry and our work among the Cora. Since our return to Cofradia we have been busy working with short term teams, reconnecting with our friends in Cofradia, Arrayanes, and Mojocuautla, and getting a lot of work done on our house.

Mojocuautla
About a month ago we learned that a good friend, Berna, in Mojocuautla had passed away. Berna was a regular attendee of the Bible studies and was the father Irma, the main christian in Mojocuautla. We were very sad because even though Berna attended many of the studies he never showed much interest in giving his life to Jesus.

Last week I went to visit Celestino. Celestino has been in a wheel chair for many year now, unable to walk. Last year we were able to pour a concrete floor in his house complete with a ramp for easy access. Kai and I took him some special vitamins to help his body remove toxins and rebuild his strength. We are praying that God would restore him in a way that will give the glory to Jesus and Him alone.

House
With the rainy season we realized that we could not put off fixing our roof any longer. It has leaked ever since we bought the house and was only getting worse. So we decided to add another layer of Jal (a light calcium mineral mixed with sand and lime), a new layer of petatillo (small clay tiles, and a cement slurry to seal it all. This has been a big job, taking a lot of labor and LOTS of money. But now we have a roof that does not leak.
