- Work teams dates for 2015 are booking rapidly. Some dates are already full!
El Salvador
- The folks at our Chalchuapa congregation are really happy with recent construction progress as the masonry walls have been completed! They’re planning to raise money to purchase doors and windows and are celebrating with an ice cream social. (See photos)
- Not just with ice cream, but the churches also like to serve pupusas. This feast was being prepared for after the service at the Sonsonate church. (See photo)
- We now have 9 principal churches and 54 house churches in El Salvador. Here is the photo of our newest one, Zacatecoluca Christian Church, that started just 6 weeks ago. (See photo)
Guatemala
- Pastor Deybee is doing great at our principal church, San Jose Pinula Christian Church, now in just its 6th week and already having an attendance of 30-40 congregants each service. This church is in Guatemala City, located only 12 minutes from downtown. (See photo)
- Pastor Claudio continues doing well in his always upbeat house church where 12 year old Luis attends. Please keep Luis in your prayers as his heart condition continues.
Haiti
- Work continues to move forward on the new Children’s Home, which is under construction on our Grand-Goave campus: the dining hall wiring in complete, the plumbing is finished, and we look forward to having the kitchen up and running in a few weeks!
Honduras
- Please keep Pastor Mauricio in your prayers as he prepares to minister with his family at a new church location about an hour south of San Pedro Sula. Mauricio was one of our first graduates from our El Salvador Bible Institute.
United States
- Lifeline’s Volunteer Director, Dana Krahel, reports that 10,179 volunteer hours have already been put in this year in the U. S.!!! That represents a LOT of Kingdom work being accomplished! Thank you Dana, thank you volunteers and, especially, thank you God!

- There is a work team from Wilmington, Ohio, a group led by Dr. Michael Keralis, and a group led by Dr. Joni Scott, in Haiti October 9 – 18. This is primarily a medical team. Please pray that they will have effective ministry to the Haitian people.
- Pray for someone to step up to provide for our vehicle needs at the Navajo ministry: A new (used) diesel school bus is desperately needed; it will be used to transport students to and from Red Sands Christian School and for work teams. We also need $1200 to repair the current van. Contact JD@Lifeline.org.
- Prayers for comfort and peace for Dawn Springer (Lifeline’s Principal at Red Sands Christian School in Arizona) and family as they mourn the loss of her mother.
- Prayers for safety for our staff, as their travel schedules are busy this time of year.
- For the ABC food events this weekend all in Texas, Indiana, and Ohio. Pray for all the participants: that a passion to serve and an awareness of missions begins to stir in their hearts.
- A MEET team from Connect Christian Church travels to Haiti soon. Pray for the leaders participating in this trip.

A Peak into the Homeland
|
The book of Revelation could be entitled the Book of Homecoming, for in it we are given a picture of our heavenly home.
John’s descriptions of the future steal your breath. His depiction of the final battle is graphic. Good clashes with evil. The sacred encounters the sinful. The pages howl with the shrieks of dragons and smolder with the coals of fiery pits. But in the midst of the battlefield there is a rose. John describes it in chapter 21:
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband…
In this final mountaintop encounter, God pulls back the curtain and allows the warrior to peek into the homeland. When given the task of writing down what he sees, John chooses the most beautiful comparison earth has to offer. The Holy City, John says, is like “a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.”
