August 2005Dear Friends and Partners,As you read this letter I am ministering in the nation of El Salvador and Neja is at the home office heading up several projects as well as directing our "Help Centers". As we are touching the nations we are also making an impact right here in the states. We believe that this is God's plan for us, changing the world locally and abroad. Have you ever seen those blooper "home video" shows on television? There is a particular type of video that is frequently sent in. These videos usually have a man or woman trying to negotiate their way from one boat into another. What appears to be an easy jump soon becomes a monumental undertaking, which of course makes all of us laugh. With one foot in one boat and the other foot in the other, the comedy begins. The boats begin to drift apart as these hopeless people desperately try to keep their balance. Soon they are stretched too far. They are past the point of being able to commit to one boat or the other. Usually they end up stretched to a point of excruciating pain or they'll lose their balance and take a hilarious tumble into the water they had been trying to avoid. It's at this point that I always wonder, Why aren't the other people in the boats helping them?' Why doesn't the person with the camera stop filming and lend a hand?' If they had some help they could make it! With one foot here in the United States, specifically Iowa, and the other foot in the nations of the world, there are times we feel stretched. There are times we feel as if we're about to lose our balance and take a plunge. One thing is for sure, we are past the point of being able to pull back. This means we are deeply committed to the nations and to our work here in the United States. Please keep us in prayer as we continue to expand our evangelistic efforts overseas and our gospel work right here at home. As I mentioned earlier Neja is overseeing our efforts in the States and I am in the nation of El Salvador. Our team there has been working for several months to set up a great evangelistic event scheduled for November. This event will take us to three cities in a short period of time. The impact of these citywide crusades could be earth shaking. Keep us in prayer as we meet with local pastors from all types of denominations, as well as government officials, in the planning of these crusades. We believe the anointing will break the yoke and the favor of the Lord is going before us. Neja and I appreciate you so much. You are a vital part of everything we do. Without you we would be stuck in one very small boat. Because of you, we've been able to step across the water into another place. Thank you for helping us to balance our lives and ministry. Thanks for putting down the camera and getting involved with your prayers and your financial support. You're important! With your help we are making it and impacting the world. Together We Can! Your missionary evangelists,
