Dear Faithful supporters, Pastors, Missions Directors, and Conference Leaders,<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, let us begin by saying how much we appreciate your faithful support over the years. We are now in our 13th year, and what a busy year it is. On May 28, we will return to Belize for the ministry we have scheduled this summer. There are six teams scheduled back to back, one on the plane – one off the plane. Unfortunately, our budget is not in place for us to stay, therefore, we will be returning to the U.S. to complete our itineration. If we have not yet been a part of one of your church services, please contact us by email so that we may schedule a time to attend a service at your church. We may begin scheduling services in September, but this will depend on how Gene does this summer. Whether or not he has to have knee replacement surgery upon returning to the U.S. will determine our plans for sure.<\/p>\n

One of our driving forces this summer, aside from the youth camp, women\u2019s conference, and VBS, is seeing the Karen Boggs Memorial Chapel near completion. The structure and bond beams have been poured, and we are now ready for the red iron in preparation for the roof structure (see photo). A lot has happened since the beginning of our itineration. We had a couple in Belize last summer who has been there once before. They found out that Gene was having to ride a horse into Guatemala for the churches we have there, and told their pastor, upon their return, they needed to raise money to bless us with a John Deere Gator (see photo). Within three months, they (Unity PH in the SC Conference) had raised enough money to purchase a new, four-seat John Deere Gator, with four-wheel drive and a wench on the front. We have, since, added an enclosure so we can stay dry in blowing rain. We have two villages that have asked us to come and establish churches in their areas. These are located in remote areas where we doubt there will ever be roads, electricity, or running water. The Gator will enable us to go to those villages, where there is no church, and establish one. We truly are “your hands extended” to a dying world, and our feet walk where you are not able. We would also like to thank the South Carolina Conference for offering to pay the shipping costs for the Gator from Lott, Texas to Belize. A shipping company is taking it from South Carolina to Lott, Texas free of charge. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!<\/p>\n

\u00a1GUAUU! \u00a1\u00a1\u00a1LA IGLESIA SE VUELVE IMPRESIONANTE !!! HERMOSOS PIES, ALFOMBRAS, AIRE ACONDICIONADO, HERMOSO P\u00daLPURA Y VENTANAS MANUFACTURADAS ...<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

El primer servicio de la iglesia en los Estados Unidos es normalmente un choque cultural para nosotros despu\u00e9s de estar en \u00c1frica durante tres a\u00f1os. Muchas de nuestras iglesias en el sur de \u00c1frica tienen pisos de concreto, sin techos, ventanas b\u00e1sicas, ba\u00f1os exteriores, sin aire acondicionado y p\u00falpitos artesanales hechos con madera de desecho. Sin embargo, las personas all\u00ed est\u00e1n llenas del gozo del Se\u00f1or: danzar, cantar y dar testimonio de la provisi\u00f3n y la grandeza de Dios.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

GRADUACI\u00d3N Y BODA<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Un punto culminante de nuestro permiso ha sido asistir a la graduaci\u00f3n de la escuela secundaria de nuestra nieta, Shaan Delport. \"\"<\/a> Otro ha sido que Joe se haya casado con nuestro nieto, Trysten Delport, y su bella novia, Rachel Lowry Delport.<\/p>\r\n

NUESTRO VIAJE MISIONERO<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

La \u00fanica cosa que ha sostenido nuestro viaje como misioneros es el llamado de Dios. Durante veintinueve a\u00f1os, hemos experimentado la gu\u00eda y direcci\u00f3n de Dios en nuestras vidas. \u00c9l nunca nos ha fallado, independientemente de los desaf\u00edos que hemos tenido que enfrentar. Los catorce a\u00f1os que pasamos en Zimbabwe fueron muy gratificantes ya que invertimos en la vida de l\u00edderes, personas y ni\u00f1os. Fue durante ese tiempo, Dios nos llam\u00f3 al centro y norte de Mozambique a un pa\u00eds destrozado y personas heridas, que hab\u00edan sufrido 17 a\u00f1os de guerra civil. Este fue uno de los momentos m\u00e1s gratificantes de nuestro ministerio, ya que las personas recibieron a Jes\u00fas como su ancla.<\/p>\r\n

Nos pidieron que nos mudemos en 2002 para servir como Directores Regionales para \u00c1frica del Sur, supervisando el trabajo en seis pa\u00edses. En los \u00faltimos 15 a\u00f1os, hemos experimentado un movimiento fenomenal de Dios en esta regi\u00f3n. Los siguientes son algunos de los puntos destacados recientes:<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La APS sudafricana estableci\u00f3 su duod\u00e9cima conferencia en 2016<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La Conferencia General de Botswana tuvo una exitosa conferencia anual de 2017 en Mahalapye, Botswana. Est\u00e1n planeando comenzar dos conferencias nuevas.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 El programa de capacitaci\u00f3n de liderazgo ISOM (Escuela Internacional de Ministerio) ha sido muy efectivo en nuestra iglesia en Francistown, Botswana. Tambi\u00e9n se est\u00e1 estableciendo en otras \u00e1reas del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 En junio de 2016, celebramos la dedicaci\u00f3n de nuestra iglesia en Maputo, Mozambique. La iglesia ya tiene 300 personas presentes y est\u00e1 creciendo.<\/p>\r\n\u2022 En noviembre, 21 estudiantes se graduaron de Advance School of Ministry en Lilongwe,\r\n

NUESTRO VIAJE MISIONERO CONTINU\u00d3<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La capacitaci\u00f3n de DCPI est\u00e1 funcionando bien en Sud\u00e1frica. La mayor\u00eda de las conferencias han participado en los programas de capacitaci\u00f3n con buenos resultados.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 Varios equipos de EE. UU. Han visitado Mozambique a lo largo de los a\u00f1os.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 Joe realiz\u00f3 numerosos eventos de capacitaci\u00f3n de liderazgo en iglesias y conferencias durante todo el a\u00f1o.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La Conferencia General de Sud\u00e1frica ha estado trabajando arduamente para establecer el programa de capacitaci\u00f3n ISOM, que comenzar\u00e1 a principios de 2017. Cada una de las 12 conferencias se ha comprometido a que al menos cinco iglesias participen en el programa. Esto significa que habr\u00e1 60 centros de capacitaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La Conferencia del Sur de Mozambique licenci\u00f3 a 22 l\u00edderes j\u00f3venes, y los desafi\u00f3 a convertirse en plantadores de iglesias en las ciudades y pueblos de la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 Swazilandia ha visto un crecimiento fenomenal de la iglesia. En ocho a\u00f1os, nuestros misioneros sudafricanos, el reverendo Xolani y Thembeka Ngema, han plantado seis iglesias. Est\u00e1n apuntando a Manzini, la segunda ciudad m\u00e1s grande de Swazilandia para plantar la pr\u00f3xima iglesia.<\/p>\r\n

SOLICITUD ESPECIAL<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Necesitamos soporte mensual adicional para permitirnos regresar al campo. Si puede contribuir a nuestro ministerio en el sur de \u00c1frica, lo apreciaremos mucho.<\/p>\r\n
