January Newsletter
January 2012
Dear friends and family,
We want to begin by thanking you for your prayers these last two months. December and the first weeks of January were very busy with lots of activities and we know that your prayers helped carry us through!
We celebrated Christmas and a few baby showers with our marriage Sunday School class at the beginning of December. It was so much fun to fellowship, laugh and eat with so many other families. Unfortunately, after everyone left our house, we had some thieves try to break in. We thank the Lord for His protection and wisdom. Nothing was stolen but it wasn’t a pleasant moment finding three strange men in our backyard!
Adrian finished up his Bible Study Methods class in Juigalpa and the Leadership class in Nueva Guinea. It was such a blessing and encouragement to see the men and women grow in their knowledge of the Word. He plans to start up classes again in March in both areas. The Bible Study Methods class in Managua took a break during December and January but will start up again in March as well. Pray that God will continue to bring students hungry to learn.
Camino Global (formerly CAM International) invited Adrian to be the speaker at their end of the year conference in the Nueva Guinea area. There were pastors from many churches from the area as well as from El Salvador and Honduras. Adrian spoke on the Pastor and his relationship with his family, with the church and with the world. It was a great time around the Word and God opened doors for Energes Mission to continue ministering with these pastors.
Jan. 9-14th our local church held their annual VBS, for which Cheryl is the director. Our whole family was involved and we had a wonderful week! The first day we had 173 kids and by the end of the week we had 249! There were several salvation decisions made by the children and 8 parents also accepted the Lord at the closing on Saturday night. What a blessing!
Please pray for us as we will be hosting our first short term missions team Feb. 4-11 with Energes Mission International. We will be ministering in Juigalpa with this team and are excited about what God will be doing this week.
The following week Adrian will be travelling to Panama to preach at the Word of Life camp there. We would appreciate your prayers for him and for the rest of the family staying at home in Nicaragua.
Praise the Lord with us! All the money has been raised to buy the property in Nicaragua! We are now doing the paperwork to establish the organization in Nicaragua as a non-profit and as soon as that is done we will sign the papers for the property. Thank you to all who gave! We know that God has great things in store for this property!
We want to thank all of you for faithfully praying and giving to our ministry and for your patience as we transitioned from one mission board to another. As of February 1st all our support should be sent to:
Energes Mission International
1659 State Hwy 46 West
Ste 115 #409
New Braunfels, TX 78132
Your gifts are tax deductible and you will receive a tax deductible receipt.
We have renovated our website and would love for you to stop by and check it out at www.themingos.com. We will also soon have our Energes Mission International website up and running. Any suggestions as to what you would like to see on our website are welcome!
In His care,
Adrian & Cheryl Mingo
