Last Call:
We are now down to one month left to be able to pay off the final amount remaining on our land in Bolivia. We had one of our supporting churches take up a special offering this past week and they gave $2000 toward the need. With this offering that should bring us to right at $20,000 left to pay off our land. This has been a long journey, and the Lord has blessed us tremendously, so now we are trusting that He will provide the remaining amount needed. We thank you for your love for God, for us and His people in Bolivia. If you would like to help us reach our goal before the month ends, let us know by writing to kwhite@goreachtheworld.org and sending your offering/donation to:

The Work Continues:
We praise the Lord for how He is blessing the churches in Bolivia and how they are continuing on with the work. The church in Quillacollo just had their first baptism and Lord’s Supper this past month. To make it a special occasion, the whole church went to a park and had a picnic and they baptized in a river there. The only problem is that it is winter and the water is pretty close to freezing. Needless to say, being baptized in extremely cold water will be an experience they never forget! In the afternoon everyone celebrated the Lord’s Supper at church. It was an wonderful experience for them and the people are really excited about reaching others with the gospel.
Also, as you know the church in Cochabamba is working hard on the construction of their church building. They have the roof finished and are working on construction of the walls to help protect from the elements. This past month they had an unseasonal storm with rain and wind that turned the floor from dirt to mud during the service. The church’s biggest goals now are to finish the walls, pour the cement floors, begin to work on the bathrooms, and other rooms for classes, etc. The whole project will cost about $15,000 so we ask you to pray for them as they face this great challenge.
Furlough Update:
As we have continued to travel over the past month or so we have been in some really great churches, both new and supporting. Our family has been really encouraged visiting our supporting churches and seeing how the Lord is blessing them and also sharing what the Lord has been doing in Bolivia. Many of these churches have never met our children because we visited them when we were first on deputation, before our children were born. We have also heard from at least two new churches that have decided to take us on for support. This has been a great blessing as we are needing to raise additional support for our ministry. We praise the Lord for how He has been blessing us and keeping us safe as we travel many miles across the USA.
Prayer Requests:
1. Pray for us as we will be traveling for several weeks straight in September for mission’s conferences.
2. Pray that our car in Bolivia will sell to help pay off the land.
3. Pray for Isaac and Pablo as they lead the churches in Cochabamba and Quillacollo.
4. Pray for the construction of our new church building so that the church can have services on the land.
