Dear Friends and Family,
Here we are, right between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and
quickly approaching the end of the year.
Did you know today is #GivingTuesday?
Uniquely juxtaposed to the crassly commercial celebrations of Black
Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season of
year-end giving. I’m sure you personally
know of many great causes that you can give toward this year. I encourage you to make a real difference
this year.
As you are aware, Vanessa and I have been living and working
in Bolivia for almost 15 years. Thank
you so much for so many years of faithful support of our ministries. Vanessa continues to work with women who are
experiencing domestic violence and abuse in Santa Cruz. Her program, CAFA (Centro de Atenciรณn Familiar El Alfarero), is deeply
impacting the spiritual and emotional lives of the women she and her team
serve. I, Danny, continue to focus on
bringing clean water to rural communities throughout Bolivia with my project Agua
Yaku. My team and I drill water wells
and distribute water filters in dozens of communities each year. Most recently, we have been working in isolated
indigenous communities in the Amazon river basin near Riberalta, way up in the
northern part of Bolivia.
Everything we do, we do in the name of Jesus Christ,
spreading his love in both word and deed.
Better health and a better family life are extremely important, but true
change and hope for a better future only comes through a personal relationship with
our creator. Our hope and prayer are
that everyone we touch will come to know Christ in a personal way.
Opportunities to share Christ abound. Seeing God at work in the lives of people we
meet encourages us to faithfully continue with our ministries. We pray that you
to will join us in the coming year.
Please come down for a visit, either with a team or just with your family. Also, we need your prayer and financial
support. As you consider what you want
to do for #GivingTuesday, I encourage you to join us as part of our ministry
team here in Bolivia. We still need a dozen
or so new monthly partners to pledge $25, $50, or $100 a month in support of
our salary budget. Or if you would
prefer to give a one-time yearly gift, that would also be appreciated. Additionally, Vanessa needs to raise $10,000
a year for her CAFA ministry, and I need to raise $100,000 for Agua Yaku. You can sponsor drilling a water well for $1000
or give a water filter to a family for $40.
I would love to drill another 50 water wells and distribute 1000 water
filters in 2019. Can you help us reach
that goal?
Yes, ministry is a sacrifice of both time and money. Help us be God’s “hands and feet” here in
Bolivia in 2019! Go ahead and click on

Blessings,
Danny and Vanessa
