How are YOU doing... today ?   As a result of the pandemic situation, many people have found themselves fighting some type of battle - and many of them were fighting all ALONE.   IN OUR CASE ...   the Lord had us start the project for the Christian School about 4 years ago.  There are a lot of people affected by the project and many families counting on it for their children.  Last week, we got to a point where it looked like it would be impossible to see the fulfillment of that project.  It looked like it could be finished.  We want to share some ideas on how we were able to walk through the despair of feeling like we were about to lose everything.  1.  PEACE -  Recently I (Jerry) caught myself in "just hang on and survive" gear... but God got in my face and reminded us that He LEADS me by His peace .  Satan wants to DRIVE us compulsively , but God wants to DRAW us compassionately .  I know it sounds too simple, but the Bible tells us; " Don't worry about anything

Yurani has been serving in Niger Africa since October 2019.   Most of the few missionaries serving in Niger returned to their home country during the pandemic but Yurani persisted in her calling to this country.  She is serving alongside a Korean missionary who founded a girl’s boarding school and Bible school.   Yurani’s main ministry is discipling teenagers who were born in a Muslim context.  Over Christmas, Yurani went to the city to relax but while there, she contracted malaria .  It was a difficult battle but she has mostly recovered.  Please keep her in prayer for full recovery and the strength to continue to minister and share God’s love in an isolated part of the world.

Yubeli – As you know, our motto is that "forming leaders isn’t what we do, it is who we are".  Yubeli is a great example of a leader who forms other leaders.  Born in a poverty-stricken part of Colombia, Yubeli surpassed all expectations and learned healthy leadership principles, learned English and later French in preparation for her call to Burkina Faso, Africa.   Through missions donations, she has purchased land and developed a leadership school in a small village, she has brought unity through Christ to two competing tribes,  she cultivated a farm project to feed the villagers and provide work for the youth.  Now, through the pandemic, she and her Burkinabe husband continue to do Christian leadership and entrepreneurship training. At first, virtually, and now traveling to small communities, they are giving conferences and seminars throughout the country.  NEWS!   On Nov. 23, Yubeli and her husband, Utonio, welcomed their first child, Yohan Samuel into this world.  Plea

  Next week the Bible school is sending a student team to an indigenous village that, according to the Joshua Project, is still an "unreached people group".  We actually visited them once before.  Here is what happened in that first encounter! ------------------------- 2 years ago one of our missions teams decided to go into the jungle to reach an unreached Indigenous Indian village called  “La Po” home of the Embera-Chami Indians. The team traveled all day and finally arrived around sundown.  After meeting the village leaders and getting something to eat, they found a flat spot to set up their tents. But no one expected what was about to happen…   Around 2:00 AM several of the students on the team woke up feeling a strong oppression and could hear footsteps walking around outside their tents.... Even though they tried to see who it was with flashlights, they couldn’t actually see anyone. The students got real scared and started waking up the rest of the team.  They found out
