Dear Pastors and Friends that have labored so faithfully with Sharon and I, here is our latest report from our Bible Institute Extensions (IBEX). There is an amazing amount of growth. Praise God for His faithfulness. We are now one of the largest Bible Institutes in Central America.

This growth is an indication of several things:

one is that there are more young people seeking a Bible education. There may be as many as 50% young people in the numbers. When we started there was little interest beyond the pastors for an education. Since we are not pastor-centered, but Saint-Centered (all need to find their ministry) we are blessed to be raising up such a large army to transform their communities.
Secondly this means that this move of God is breaking down denominational barriers. After ten years of work, they are studying together!

Please be praying for the new regional and local coordinators as well. It is often under dangerous circumstances that they are traveling and teaching. Pray that Mike will have the wisdom to continue administrating effectively. Pray for the finances for international travel. We are asking the Lord for $15,000, just for international travel expenses, in 2009.

Rejoice with us! This is good news from Guatemala! Thank you for your continued friendship, prayers and support. .
John & Sharon
