Special Request: We are trying to finalize the new blog.  If you receive this note please send an email to rgrove@lifeofhope.org to let us know our system is working.  Thanks

“Update and Prayer Requests”

I hope that many of the folks that received updates using our old system have reconfirmed on to the Life of Hope blog. We will be using this on a regular basis to share information from Guatemala, about Life of Hope Ministries, and relate current praises and prayer requests. If you know someone who had received the updates before be sure and ask if they have reconfirmed. If they have not just tell them to go to our website and the register block is available.

The beginning of December found me in Guatemala sharing with our four field partners. They are El Castillo, Plantio de Jehova (Tita Evertsz-La Limonada), Mama Carmen, and the Rice family. I plan to share how we are connected to these ministries over the next few weeks.

A couple of praises!!!
Life of Hope should have a mini van in our posession by the end of the year thanks to the generosity of the Charles H. Stout Foundation. This will greatly assist our efforts with short term groups and administrative work.

Through the work of Richard and Chris Rice (our field partners) a new church will be planted in the ghetto of Santa Faz. The first worship in the new building is scheduled for Jan 1, 2008!

Please use this blog to ask questions about the information or about the work of Life of Hope Ministries. We look forward to sharing more very soon.

Rick Grove, Director-Life of Hope Ministries
