Keep up with our staff missionaries as they update their supporters about Casas por Cristo and their work here!
Gwen and I
will be completing our eighth year with Casas the first week in
June. We thank and praise God for
how He has provided for our needs.
We want to
thank the people of First Baptist Church for your prayers and support.
God has brought Casas through another year. I would like to update you on some of the things that are happening in our ministry.
In 2012 we
built 183 homes in Juárez and Acuña, México, and San Raimundo, Guatemala. We are off and running this year. There will be 40 homes built in the
month of March. This is a busy month because students are celebrating Spring Break.
In Guatemala there will be 8 homes built, 22 in Juárez, and 10 in Acuña.
According to
the Mexican authorities there is 78% less violence in Juárez this year. I
believe that it is because of these statistics that the amount of teams coming
to build is increasing.
Casas’ family news. Our Casas family is increasing in size. This is happening in more ways than
one. We have an intern and an
apprentice missionary that are hoping to become full time missionaries with us
when they finish their requirements for staff. Their names are Jessica Selburg
and Rachel Weller. A former Casas missionary,
Ryan de la Pena, is returning with his family to El Paso and is coming back on
staff in the middle of February.
Three of our
missionaries, the Laffan’s, the Kirklin’s, and the De la Pena’s will be having
babies in the near future.
Casas Por
Cristo has reached another milestone in the life of this ministry. Brandon and Heather Culp have moved to
Guatemala to become our first full time missionaries outside of the continent.
Please
continue to pray for more teams to register, for the safety of our missionaries
and the teams that are building. Pray for the new missionaries and their efforts
to raise support so that they can become part of Casas’ family.
Gwen and I
want to thank our church family for their support and encouragement as we work
at Casas as missionaries.
Continue to
pray for our Mexican nationals, David Quiñones and Miguel Flores, who work for
us in their native country.
With all our
souls we praise the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, in how he has watched
over us.
In his
service,
Bob and Gwen
Wenberg
