Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

Dear Friends,
Thanks for all your support during our Home Assignment. We've been in the States since July and officially can be called "grandparents". Gabriella Rose Thiessen was born to Matthew & Rachel on Sept. 25, 2010. Our tour in the Central District (Ohio) made it possible to see Gabby two days after she was born in South Bend, Indiana. Thank you IM for putting us on tour near family.
Our time in Ohio was filled with getting to know special churches, Alliance church people and ministry colleagues there. Thanks for your care for us and the listening ear you had for our ministry.
We return to Uruguay to the beginning of the 2011 school year of the Alliance Bible Institute in Uruguay (CETAU) which is presently promoting the application process of new students in our churches across the country for the 2011 academic year (March - December).
Duane & Lois will be teaching in Rivera, and several extension Bible Institutes during this school year.
Please pray for the coordination of applications for first time students, the entrance exam, interviews and evaluation process for the Alliance Bible Institute in Uruguay. Due to one less professor this year, there will be a considerable burden on Duane & Lois for teaching beginning in March. Upon arrival they will assume their duties as Dean of Students (Lois) and Academic Dean (Duane) of CETAU.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—in our denomination, in our churches, and in our individual lives.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This central funding vehicle allows our international workers to focus on ministry rather than raising financial support.
