Fall Newsletter




Dear Friends,

Thank you for all of your prayers and support over the last few months!  God has indeed been faithful.

September, among other things,  was filled with finishing up the filming for our ongoing  documentary project, which we hope will be done with editing by this January in time for team season here at YWAM Panama.  Natalie had a great opportunity to go with John up to a village to help with this one day.

We also had the opportunity to take some trips to Piriatí to work with our Emberá friends to help with their radio program to reach their people in the vast expanses of the Darien jungle.  For more about this project see www.ñlkjadsfijñoijw.blogspot.com.

In October, our family took a trip to New Jersey with the dual purpose of visiting a small church that supports our ministry as well as spend some time with Kristina's extended family, including Natalie and Asher's Great-Grandma.

And last week, John just got back from a 6 day trip to Bogotá, Colombia to facilitate at an international conference that was focused on the unreached people groups of the world.  Thank you so much to those who gave to this trip.  John helped facilitate a track at that conference that led to the creation of a network of Latin Americans interested in the EthnoArts, which is using the heart expression of a people group to communicate the Good News to them in a relevant way.

Now, back at home, we continue to plan for the School of Gospel Contextualization this March.  We solicit all of your prayers to bring the right students in for this school.  Up until now we still don't have the minimum of students to financially run the school.  Please pray with us that, this week, more students will apply.  We want to see the  unreached touched with the Gospel of Jesus Christ by those equipped in this school that He has put on our hearts to create!

Natalie and Asher continue to grow, giving joy to both of us.  We love them so much.  We are also excited to have Kristina's mom with us visiting until December!

Please pray for:
-Asher's health (he has had a cough for many weeks now)
-The School of Gospel Contextualization
-A newer vehicle (ours is in and out of the shop more and more)
-For a movement to grow around the network created in Bogotá

May God bless you as we enter into this holiday season.

Your Friends,
The Henry Family

I'm really looking forward to a report on the conference! Hopefully someone from the committee will write one up, once things settle down. I'm so glad you were able to participate in that!
