It is still sunny!

For those friends of ours who are in the northland this might sound a bit boastful. We have had quite a string of sunny days. Again I say that this is way out of the ordinary. However we are not complaining. It could be snowing.
The other day we started up this blog and I was thinking that I have not been a very good blogger. I haven't been adding new things as I should. So today I will jot down some new lines of info.
For us down here and for you up there, opportunities to serve the Lord and testify as to His grace are abundant. The question is, "Will we be found faithful to share as we should?" Unfortunately we often miss the mark. Praise the Lord that are relationship with Him is not based upon our performance, but in our faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. This by no means excuses us from our obligation, but puts things in the proper perspective. We must not forget that He who has began the good work in us will be faithful to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ's return.
We have been able to share with numerous people over the past couple of days about the One God and the One Mediator between Him and us, His Son Jesus Christ. Please pray for those who have been hearing the message, that they would understand that their religion and their good works will never be sufficient to save them. Please pray that the Lord would take off the blinders from their eyes, that they might see the light of the gospel (2nd Cor 4:4) And obviously for us that we would be found faithful to share the gospel as we ought.
When we came to the island of Quinchao, big island of Chiloe, we came with the impression that there was no evangelical work in the town of Curaco de Velez. However, the other day we came in contact with some individuals who are realizing a prayer service in the house of some believers. These brothers are from a Pentecostal splinter group and we as of yet have not been able to talk to them in detail about their doctrinal beliefs, but we rejoice in the fact that there is at least one more family in town who is calling on the Name of the Lord. Please pray for us so that we would know what level of fellowship that we are to have with these brethren. We obviously do not want to take part in some fleshly turf war, but we do want to hold forth the banner of Jesus Christ and sound doctrine that must accompany the preaching of the Holy Word. So, please pray for conversations that we hope to have soon with these brothers and sisters. Thanks.
The kids are all under the weather, to one degree or another. It is most likely due to the extreme changes in weather that we have down here. It is cold, then it is warm. It is bleak,then it is sunny. And there is a lot of humidity. They are taking some medication and we are ultimately trusting in the Lord for their well being. And for that reason we ask God's people to pray for our little ones.
So, in order to not obligate you to read more and more of my babblings, I will sign off for now. Thank you to those of you who have taken time to read this blog and pray for us. Please leave your comment so that we might hear of how the Lord is working in your lives. So that we might rejoice along with you in His goodness, and pray for you as we should.

For the King and His Kingdom,

Daniel (for Ruth and the kids)
