It is with much joy that we write to you and pray that you
are experiencing God’s blessings in your lives.
This letter is to inform you of our situation as missionaries and our
work in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We began as part-time domestic missionaries in August 2011
at the Long Beach Church of Christ. Some
of our work includes evangelism, and English and Spanish classes. Our goal has always been to serve and help in
the ministry of evangelism of our Lord. In June 2012 we were ready to begin the
process of transitioning as church-planters with Kairos, a Church of Christ
church-planting organization. With the
sickness of our daughter last year, those plans were put on hold. Now we are ready to begin that transition
again.
We would like to invite you to consider partnering with us. We are raising funds now for this fall, a temporary
preparation period consisting of a lot of training and traveling, praying and
fasting, seeking God about which direction He wants us to go.
First is Strategy Lab from September 9 to the 15th in
Omaha, Nebraska and then Discovery Lab is November 9 to the 16th in
Portland, OR. These seminars teach us to
use our gifts and skills, to discover our calling as planters of new churches. We will be attending a “boot camp” called
“Bodybuilders: Center for Mission Mobilization” for two days where we will be
trained in how to more effectively raise funds for the long-term and for larger
amounts. The dates for this event are
still tentative. For this season we are
in need of your prayers and your collaboration.
We appreciate your support and your hearts. Acts 20:35
Here is a breakdown of the costs (for both of us):
1.
“Boot camp”
$1,700
2.
Strategy Lab $800
3.
Discovery Lab $2400
4.
Miscellaneous (gas, lunches, etc.) $500
5.
To give ourselves fully to this time $1,000/mo.(4
months)
Total: $9,400
We will be in contact throughout the fall with you and you
are always welcome to ask us how it’s going.
Checks can be made out to the church with our name on the memo and sent
to the address at the top of the page.
Blessings to you and yours.
Beto and Laura Perez
