Happy New Year Everyone,

As 2013 began, God blessed us with a teaching a seminar to Youth leaders in Valley de Angeles on January 2-5. Four days of packed instruction and many, many hours of personal one on one ministry. Many Victories in Jesus!!!

Warfare --

During the seminar, my billfold disappeared/LOST! I didnt get upset even though that meant having to file new papers. That would take time, money and cancelling one seminar session. So God Losing my wallet meant no just had to take care of it! Honduran drivers License and no residency card to prove I was legal here. Guess what? The police stopped us on our way back from Valle late one night! TESTIMONIAL ON INNER HEALING Inner healing is our own inner freeing of our wrong sinful responses to our imperfect growing up experiences. Accomplished through a discovering prayer before God followed by a confessional prayer to God in Jesus name who is the way truth and life

Miracles --

As the police stopped us, we prayed for favor. The police didnt even checked our papers and told us to go on. If they checked, my car would have been taken away and I might have went to a 3rd world jail! Saturday night after the last session, I received a call from someone who had found my wallet and gave it back with all the documents in! That doesnt happen!
Debbie Forest is one of my helpers in the ministry and is part of the first group who received the inner healing classes. As you can tell, she now is very free and a joy to be around!

Reflecting back on last year, 2012, I cant help but make a check list of all the wonderful things God put before me last year. To reflect on: God began 2012 by giving me another year of opportunity to be here with my Honduran family and friends. God exploded my ministry in ways I never dreamed. God helped me to give birth to my mother side and I was blessed to have 4 wonderful girls with two little babies come and live with me. Even though one lost her way during the year. We have had our good and bad times but just being able to encourage the girls in their daily life, to help them walk with Jesus; to take them through discipleship has been a blessing in itself.

Beginning IH Classes
January April 2012 started with a God given beta group of women to guide through a short course of inner healing. I was blessed to see them grow quickly, change and mature in God. Little did I realize God was using me to impart not only inner healing, but spiritual growth. I become their spiritual mother and we started working together in other areas. God later had a huge surprise for me! In August it was amazingly revealed in Prayer, that these God picked women, were being groomed and raised up to part of my ministry here in Honduras and Central America. I was both Emi (top), Carol, Lizeth and Debbie (bottom) Shocked and Pleased to have wonderful women of God as friends and wise counselors to serve with. They have gifts I dont have! It works well for the ministry! Thank you God!

Womens Ministry House

In August we moved the womens house to a new location and this time I moved in with them. The house was old and had electrical problems and a bathroom that was not fully functional. After 3 months in the house, we again were able to move to a much nicer house (pic. at right) with a lower rent. We are blessed with a former landlord of mine that painted the whole house before we moved in and repairs everything immediately. So no more green walls for our red table, pink entrance or yellow walls to endure! Plus our new house is cooler. That will be great for the hot summer months without air condition.

So are you Going to take her in?

August 2012, two days, before I flew to the United States to intenerate. I heard about an underage, 18 year old that was possibly getting mixed up with an older man. She needed a place to live. I reminded God that I was leaving in a couple of days and couldnt take her in. After all how would she work with the other ladies in the house. His response, would you like to let her come now or wait one year until she has a baby and then needs to come? Well, you can guess Dee, became the fourth woman to live with us. The night before I flew out, we located a family member, who had guardianship of her and signed papers stating: we were just giving her a place to live. We were not taking her in to be a maid or servant. It has been awesome to see her pick up her faith and grow in God. YOUTH GROUP IN VALLEY OF ANGELS, HONDURAS ( Inner Healing Seminar)
God has been taking each part of the ministry to a different stage. He did an MIRACLE in July when he lead me to teach an inner healing seminar to 137 young men and women. 40 were from a local orphanage. At least 50 or more received Jesus or Recommitted their lives. Everyone received healing or a blessing from GOD! In later meetings, the youth leaders gave testimonies on how each of their youth had received some kind of healing. Before they just came to meetings and just stood around. Now, they were more open to prayer, got on their knees to worship, were attentive at meetings and strengthening their walk with Jesus. We are waiting for the leaders to complete their healing to be able to go back and teach the next seminar later this spring. In the meantime the main pastor wants us to come and teach his other leaders and the ones in 6 other churches in Honduras. Prophecy: At the end a lady I didnt know from the church came up to me and told me things that God had revealed to me through the years about His plans for me and the ministry. The final word was:

New Support Agency

In January, I found out my old support agency, Bridge International, was restructuring and might need to close its overseas missions. With Gods guidance, the door opened for us to partner with Covenant Global Evangelism. This will be a great blessing as they fill a huge ministry need we have by providing a place to mail our newsletters from. They will also be posting our newsletters on their website.

Urgent Prayer Request : A dear friend and

mother (38) of my Honduran family desperately needs your prayers and help. Two years ago Karina Montalvan got a bacterial disease that resulted in having to have a colostomy and part of her intestines removed. Today her intestines are still inflamed. After another lady died of the same thing, the doctors here told her that they cant do anything more for her. They want her to go to Mexico where there are doctors that know about her disease. If she doesnt go soon it might be too late for her. She has three young children at home. To raise that kind of money is almost impossible. Please pray for Karina to live and receive the medical healing she needs. Also, if you would like give something to help her to go please contact me.
