Finch Prayer Team Insider Report #4

Dear Prayer Team,

     Thank you for your prayer support during this week.  Our training sessions were wonderfully blessed by God in many ways.  Let me share a few with you

     1. My co-workers David and Pablo did a phenomenal job in their training sessions.  Their experience and wisdom in the ministry of Operation Christmas Child was invaluable to the team and for me.
     2. God is building a wonderful sense of camaraderie among this young team.  We do not take this lightly as we know how hard this is to achieve.  The individuals on the team come from different denominational backgrounds and some even from different social-economic backgrounds. But God has formed a team of people who like to be together!
     3. Perhaps the most exciting 'God moment' we experienced the last few days was how He brought to the team a Consignee to partner with us in the importation of the shoe boxes into the country. The director of this  organization has had a wonderful ministry of serving the poor of this country for many years. They do evangelistic campaigns and have a radio ministry.  Their director said to our team yesterday, "This is God's time for the children of Paraguay."  He asked forgiveness for concentrating so much on ministering to adults and ignoring the needs of children.  There is a growing awareness on our team of the great challenge before them to reach this generation of kids for Christ. 
     4. Please pray for the Paraguay team now that they have received the instruction on how conduct the ministry.  I know that some left the meeting today wondering how they were going to put it all together. We have all the confidence in God that they have the gifting and desire to impact this nation for the Lord. 

     Tomorrow is a new chapter on this trip, at 5:00pm we travel over to Argentina where there is a different set of challenges awaiting us there.  I will send you more information about that tomorrow.  

     You are a huge blessing to me!  Thank you so much for praying for me, I appreciate greatly the relationship I have with you through many years of serving the Lord together.  

In His love and for His Glory,

Bill
