Dear
Friends and Family,
We
hope that each of you are doing well. After a very busy Christmas
season and January, we were finally able to get a little bit caught
up on things last month. Jeremy stayed busy preaching and teaching
kids. Because our Sunday School program has grown, Michelle is now
serving as the Sunday School Administrator. Our church has also begun
to have weekly teen services and weekly ladies meetings. There were
many individuals that have rededicated their lives to the Lord. One
young couple in our church will be getting married this month. We
will be meeting with them to do some premarital counseling. As for
the land and new building, we have now purchased the land and are
going through the process to begin building in the near future. As
the church plant is becoming more and more self-sufficient, Jeremy
has been helping with the preaching and teaching in another local
church. One other thing that is keeping us busy is the legal
residency renewal process. Thankfully, all of our paperwork has been
accepted, and we are currently awaiting approval.
As
for the family, we are doing well. In the beginning of the month, we
had a short visit from Michelle’s parents. They are always a
blessing to us when they come. Our girls are both doing well in
school. It has been great for Ellowyn because she is now learning
much more Spanish than ever before. Pregnancy has been physically
tough for Michelle. Thankfully, she is now beginning to feel better.
This month, we will be celebrating our eight year wedding
anniversary. I (Jeremy) am so thankful that God has brought Michelle
into my life and the blessing she has been. She is a wonderful mother
to our girls and an amazing wife to me, and I look forward to us
serving the Lord together for the rest of our lives.
We
are thankful for each of you who pray for us so diligently. Next
month, we expect to have our residency approved and also begin the
next steps of the building process. We are also planning to host a
three day evangelistic conference on the 13th through 15th
of March. This month, please pray:
1.
That God will guide our ministry each step of the way.
2.
That God will keep His hand on Michelle and our unborn child during
this pregnancy.
3.
That God will do a great work in this upcoming evangelistic
conference.
In
Christ,
Jeremy,
Michelle, Lila, and Ellowyn Blanz
