| April Prayer Letter - 2009 |
|
Dear Co-laborers in Christ, I t is with deep appreciation that we write this letter this month to all of our supporting churches. Many of you have faithfully supported our ministry and have fervently prayed for us for many years. At the same time we now have many new churches who are supporting our ministry and we are thankful for all of you who have been sensitive to God’s leading in your lives to hold the ropes for us so we can do the ministry in Spain that God has called us to do.The month of March was a very busy and emotional month for us. We spent the month packing boxes and purchasing household items that we will need in Spain. On the 28th of March a group of men from our home church, Pleasant Hill Baptist church, including our pastor Lamar Rackley, came to our house and helped us load a 40 ft. container to ship to Spain. We are so grateful for all the hard work that these men did in spite of the heavy rain that fell that day. On March 11 we had the special joy of attending our son David’s ordination to the ministry. I was able to give the charge and our pastor led the ordination. Several pastors and missionaries, including 3 from his own family, helped in the ordination. We are praying for him that God will continue guiding him as he tries to raise his support to go to Spain also. Spain BoundAfter many months of visiting new churches, we are finally finished with our furlough. We still are in need of about 5% of our support, and we are confident that over the next few months, some of those new churches will take us on for support. But we are leaving for Spain by faith knowing that God will provide our needs. By the time you receive this letter we will be in Spain. We fly out the 31st of March and will arrive in Madrid on the 1st of April. Really pray for us that God will use us in a great way to do a work for Him. We want to reach the lost for Christ. That is our desire and goal. Pray that God will open doors of opportunity for us and that as a team with our children, we will accomplish His plan and purpose to plant churches, disciple new Christians and train leaders. As soon as we get settled we will contact you with our new address. You will still be able to call us on the same Vonage phone number which is 706-413-6440. May the Lord richly bless each of you as you labor for Him.
In His Service, Julio and Andrea Velasquez |
