The kind of people God uses

There is no one that God can't use, from Pharaoh and Judas on up. Weak people like Peter, uncooperative people like Jonah. Old people like me (this does not include Sharon). Imperfect people. And, of course, he is continually refining us to make us more useful.

It looks like there will be 6 of us that God wants to make into a team in this town (still working with Raúl as well, 25 miles away): Pedro and Sandrine have moved from our place into an apartment in town, their first place of their own in 3 years of being married. Even though he doesn't like agricultural work, that seems to be what he has to do, at our project, being paid from church offerings. We appreciate that they are putting serving the Lord above other interests

On Saturday the 22nd Leo and Ivon will be moving here. Both of them have studied biology and are interested in an agricultural project that will glorify God. Their situation is complicated by the fact that their income comes from Ivon's job in Madrid, 3 hours away by bus. She is temporarily on sick leave with pregnancy complications.

This couple moved here from Colombia and found a church in their neighborhood pastored by our friends Bruce and Merly, who have been discipling them. They have taken whatever jobs were available and now hope to settle into long-term vocational ministry.

Both these ladies are expecting their first baby. This is going to be exciting. La Vera is a good place to start a family.
