July/August
Dear praying friends and family,
These last two months have been busy months and God has blessed greatly in our family and in the ministry. We praise Him for His faithfulness in every aspect of our lives.
June through August is always a busy time for Chosen Children Ministries with many short term missions teams coming to work and minister alongside the staff. Keila, Noelia and Mickey had the privilege and blessing of translating for many of the teams and they saw God work in awesome ways in the lives of those they worked with as well as in their own lives, growing them and maturing them into the young adults that He would have them be. We praise God for the many godly people they were able to meet and minister with as well.
In August one of our supporting churches, Southcenter Community Baptist Church, came down and worked in the barrio of Miraflores, just outside of Managua. They were able to paint the inside and outside of the church building as well as hold VBS every afternoon. They also participated in one of our youth meetings in Salinas Grandes. We appreciate so much the support, encouragement and love shown while they were here. It is always an extra special treat to have friends come down and work alongside us.
Cheryl continues to teach two bible studies on Wednesdays, one in Leon and another in Managua, and has now begun another one on Friday afternoons in the Miraflores barrio. She is encouraged by what she is learning through the Bible study as well as seeing and hearing how the ladies are growing in their faith.
With the arrival of so many teams the Bible Institute classes have been a bit sparse but the pastors have continued learning through seminars and Bible studies given by different visiting pastors and leaders. God is doing such a great work in these men and it is a privilege to be a part of it all. Please continue to pray for them as they continue to grow in the Word and seek to influence their barrios and win others for Christ.
As many of you know, last March we held our first CCM camp for the youth of our churches. We had an attendance of 84 young people and have seen the great impact these youth have had in their own barrios. We are already planning for our next camp and in January of 2010 would like to hold two weeks of camp. We know that the camping ministry can have a life changing impact on these kids lives and we are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for this new year. Please be praying that God will supply for these kids to be able to come to camp. The cost for each camper is approximately $30. If you would like to help you can contact Chosen Children Ministries.

Cheryl is in charge of our local church’s VBS which will be held in Jan. 2010 and would appreciate your prayers as she begins to get things together for this activity. This is a new challenge for her as she has never done this before. Last year there were over 220 kids in attendance.
We are so grateful to the Lord and to each one of you for your faithfulness in praying for us as well as encouraging us through emails and sacrificial giving. You are such a blessing to us. May God continue to bless you and use you in His ministry here in Nicaragua.
In His care,
The Mingos Adrian, Cheryl, Keila, Noelia, Micael, Lorena, Natalia & Alexandra
