Report of First Trimester Activities in 2012The Gilbert Cano Family.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Heritage Bible Chapel
May the most rich and abundant blessings be poured out on your lives and families. We won’t tire of giving thanks in the name of Jesus, for your prayers and financial support, as without your help it would not be possible to realize the ministry that the Lord has entrusted to us. You all are an important part of the ministry. I say this on behalf of all the teachers and the students impacted. If get a chance to see the photos on facebook, you will get to enjoy the work that has been realized thus far, and your comments are encouraging and uplifting for us. Sincerely, from the Gilbert family that loves you, Luis and Dora, Joshua, Abigail, Emanuel, his wife, and child, Kaiden.
January 2012.
We realized three workshops, in three different places within Guatemala, Jocotillo, Barbarena and Magdalena Milpas Altas impacting a total of 100 teachers. We collaborated with an association in order to collect school supplies. This was a clown activity for children, and over 1,000 children arrived. We were able to collect school supplies for over 600 children.
February 2012.
4th of February.
We realized a medical mission journey in Jutiapa on the eastern side of Guatemala, in the town of Jocote, where over 200 people were attended to (not counting the children).
From the 18th to the 26th of February.
We accompanied the team from Wooddale Church in order to realize children’s ministry. It was a great experience also for the children that came from Wooddale. We visited 10 schools, presenting the Gospel to more than 2,000 children.
March 2012.
3rd - 4th of March
We realized a training in presenting sports as an evangelistic tool. More than 10 churches were represented with 75 people attending.
God gave us the opportunity to realize three trainings for teachers of children. This took place in Boca del Monte in the Church Capernaum. 35 teachers attended.
From the 16th to the 20th of March.
In Coatan, more than 400 kilometers outside of Guatemala City, we impacted more than 300 children and trained 10 teachers. These 5 days were very blessed.
From the 23rd to the 26th of March.
We traveled to Honduras: beginning the ELI Program there, with over 10 churches represented and 40 teachers attending. Also, we had the opportunity to present the sports ministry.
Projects:
We have begun to give away some children’s materials on CD, and have given out more than 600 CDs. This has enabled churches to save on the cost of materials as the CDs make printing of materials unnecessary. Your prayers are vital as other churches are also asking for the CDs. Each CD costs $1, and we need more funds to be able to provide this tool.
We would like to ask for your prayers also as we are beginning preparations for the sports ministry conferences in October. This will be focused on motivating the pastors to begin sports programs. We will have Chaplain Oliverio from the Brazil Selection as a conference speaker.
We give thanks to God as He's shown us faithfulness throughout these past 4 years. We have been living off of 70% of our income, and have been giving Him 30% (15% for missions and 15% tithe to our local church). Your prayers would be appreciated so that we can continue to be faithful to Him
-Luis Gilbert
