In Nepal, we had many pastors&#8217; meetings, several at our dining table and in coffee shops. In India, we held a pastors&#8217; conference during monsoon season, where heavy rains in Nepal and India, caused lots of flooding. Only a few pastors were able to come but some of them were new. That brings our count up in India to around 30 churches and pastors. To God be the glory! Great news, Western Conference Director Tony and his wife, Roma, have a baby boy, Zion. We feel as though we have added a new member added to our family!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Mercy-and-Anya.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2252\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Mercy-and-Anya-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Mercy-and-Anya-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Mercy-and-Anya.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-3-e1536762302422.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2250\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-3-e1536762302422-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-3-e1536762302422-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-3-e1536762302422-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2248\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/India-1-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ten days after returning to Nepal, we received a call that my Dad, Danny, had a severe stroke.

Gracias por todas sus oraciones por mi familia y por m\u00ed durante nuestro tiempo de visita al Dr. Mrema. Tus oraciones me han dado fuerza d\u00eda a d\u00eda y me han permitido una transici\u00f3n sin problemas. Adem\u00e1s, se agradece su apoyo al trabajo de Dios en \u00c1frica Central y Tanzania. Estoy muy agradecido por su gracia. Comenc\u00e9 a trabajar en mis documentos para obtener mi permiso de residencia y trabajo en Tanzania en febrero y recib\u00ed la aprobaci\u00f3n en junio. Este fue uno de los muchos desaf\u00edos que he enfrentado. En el futuro, continuar\u00e9 como misionero en Tanzania. Este trabajo incluir\u00e1 la predicaci\u00f3n, la ense\u00f1anza, la construcci\u00f3n de iglesias, la perforaci\u00f3n de pozos y el apoyo de ni\u00f1os a personas y la alimentaci\u00f3n de los hambrientos, tal como lo provee el Se\u00f1or. Las misiones han sido mi coraz\u00f3n y continuar\u00e1n siendo: \"Adelante con el Evangelio, levantando a Jes\u00fas\" (Injili Mbele, Yesu Juu). Estuve en los Estados Unidos durante parte de julio y agosto para el servicio conmemorativo de Mrema (ver foto superior). El 1 de septiembre fue la boda de mi hijo Shama, que tuvo lugar en Greenville, Carolina del Sur. Le agradezco al Se\u00f1or que pude asistir a la ceremonia. Por favor oren por Shama y Grace mientras comienzan su nuevo viaje como pareja casada (Ver foto inferior). Lydia est\u00e1 bien. Ella contin\u00faa sus estudios en psicolog\u00eda en North Greenville University. Elifadhili y su esposa, LaShawn, tambi\u00e9n lo est\u00e1n haciendo muy bien. Gracias por sus oraciones continuas, por mi familia. Las principales prioridades en mi lista en este momento son terminar las dos iglesias que dej\u00f3 el Dr. Mrema y perforar un pozo en una de las propiedades de IPHC, que est\u00e1 a 300 millas de Dar-es-Salaam, donde vivo. Por favor oren para que el Se\u00f1or provea los fondos necesarios para terminar estos proyectos. Antes de dejar el bol\u00edgrafo, me gustar\u00eda desearles un Feliz D\u00eda de Acci\u00f3n de Gracias, Feliz Navidad y \u00a1Feliz A\u00f1o Nuevo, 2019! Hasta la pr\u00f3xima vez, recuerde que \"El compa\u00f1ero de una misi\u00f3n es un candidato milagroso\". <em><strong>Yasinta Mrema<\/strong><\/em>","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/05\/Newsletters.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-Ae","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
