2007 has been an amazing year for our ministry. About 18 months ago, I began a Bible study for university men, many of them students of English. By January, 2007 I had about a dozen guys involved. Early this year the guys asked if we could include college women in the group. Funny how that worked out.
I recruited some young professional women to work with me, Patricia and Paola. Working together we have seen dozens of young people commit their lives to Christ and we are averaging 50 in our weekly meeting.
Last Saturday we had our first annual Christmas dinner/party and served 80: About 60 of our students and 20 family members. We praise God for his faithfulness to build a movement here among College men and women.
Here is a short video of the dinner. I trust you will have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The kids from Talita Cumi
On Sunday we had the joy of entertaining two of the kids from Talita Cumi, the children's home near our house. Jeanie is on the board of the home. Once a year the kids all find families for a day so that the 24/7/364 staff can have time together for planning. Beatriz, 17, and Juan de Dios, 5, spent the day with us. We went out for pizza and a movie (Disney's Enchanted) and then home to make a cake. Here is a picture of Juan de Dios helping Jeanie clean up.
Juan de Dios has only been at the home for five months and everything is an adventure for him. He had hardly been cared for with an absent mom and a father just out of prison. He is missing his front teeth, but from decay, not because they fell out normally. Nonetheless, he is one happy boy. You should have seen him doing cartwheels, a recently acquired skill, through the lobby of the movie theater!
Please pray for Juan de Dios and all the kids at Talita Cumi.
