November Visit Home

Thanks to many people from Fairview Church of God, brothers and sisters in Christ from other Church of God churches in Alabama, and a few other people from around the United States - our family will be able to come home for a visit during the month of November!  We are so excited to get to come home and visit family, friends, and churches during this time.  Brayden and Brianna finish up the school year mid-October.  They will be out of school all of November and December for summer break, and begin their new school year in January.  Kim and the kids will be able to make a little longer visit.  They will be in the States from November 1st - December 13th.  I will be in the States from November 1st - November 29th.  I have obligations here in Guatemala the first of December.  Kim and the kids will be able to visit with family for 2 weeks after I have to leave to come back here.  We are booking churches now to share at during our visit.  If you would like us to come and share at your church then send us an email at dkblopez@gmail.com.  Our schedule will be tight and our time limited.  We will attempt to visit as many churches as we can as we did last year.  We hope to see you while we are home!

Ministry Van

We are still in need of a ministry van.  We have several uses for a 15 passenger van.  It would save us from renting when missions teams come from the States.  This would save us tons of money that is being used just towards rentals.  This money could be used for vehicle upkeep on a ministry van and towards keeping our truck in top condition as well.  I am still picking people up for church every Sunday.  Right now, I make 2 trips out in my pick-up truck and fill the bed of the truck with people.  I am also picking up and taking home youth every Friday night.  Lately it has been raining a lot and they pile as many as they can in the cab, but many are still left out in the bed to get wet.  Many of the people here are sick because of all the rain.  God has provided us with $8,500 towards a ministry van so far.  I am confident that He will provide the rest needed.  We have a new goal to reach of $15,000 for this van.  That will get us a newer model, turbo diesel that will hold 15 passengers.
