THE MELENDEZ PRAYER LETTER JUNE 2013
Daniel and I are amazed that we have already
started our fourth year of marriage together. We thank the Lord for bringing us
together and for bringing us our beautiful babies Samuel (Sammy) and Anna. The
twins will be 1 year old on July 19th. It is hard to believe that they are already
going to be toddlers. Sammy is walking already and Anna is not far behind. They
are very active, mischievous, sweet, happy babies. Please pray for their future
salvation.
Our happy family

We
are almost ready to Go!
It seems like yesterday we were in Peru working on Daniel’s
visa to come to the USA. We have been here for over a year now and a lot has
happened. Now we both have seen each other’s world, home towns, and families. We
have each seen how the other grew up, and now we have started a family of our
own. We’ve had a very nice time in Vermont, but now it’s time to move on.
Texas is the next step in this great adventure of ministry that God has
called us to.
We are so excited about moving to Texas! Daniel will be a
full time student at Rio Grande Bible Institute, and we will both be once again
in ministry to the Latin American people. McAllen, Texas is very close to the
Mexican border, and there are a lot of Latin Americans living around the
school. We will be essentially moving into a Hispanic community, where the
culture and language will be very similar to that of Peru. We have a lot ahead of us, and we are so
excited to see all that God is going to do during these next few years.
“And the peace
of God, which surpasses all comprehension will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:7
What the future holds
Daniel has two more years of
living in the USA before he can apply for his US citizenship. We are thankful
that God has provided a way for him to futher prepare himself for the ministry
in Peru; as well as opportunities to minister in his own language here in the
US. Our prayer, goal and desire is to return to Tarapoto, Peru as full time
missionaries in a few years. Tent Makers Bible Mission is very supportive of
this time we are taking to get some good training for the mission field. They
have really encouraged us to take this step of faith and follow God’s leading.
please keep us in your prayers
Our tentative date to leave
Vermont is July 30th. We will be driving (unless we find an easier
way). We would really like to see people on the way. We are only taking what we
can fit in the car, so we will really be starting over once we get to Texas. We
would like to drive at night and rest during the days. That way the babies can
keep somewhat of their “normal” schedule. They do really well sleeping in the
car, so as long as they can play all day. Hopefully they will sleep all night
while we take turns driving. Please pray for our saftey and that everything
would go smoothly.
We are so thankful to each
one of you for your prayers, encouragement and financial support. Thank you for
your heart for the lost and the ministry to them. Your reaching out to us
enables us to reach out to others, and we all do it for the Glory of God. We
are truly thankful for each of your lives and friendships. May the Lord
continue to bless you.
Daniel and Mattie Melendez
