If you know my father-in-law, then you may have heard these words come out of his mouth at one time or another: “We can do together what we can’t do alone!”
Well, that definitely is true when it comes to what we did as a SK community last week —
Praise the Lord!!
Just last night, Max and I returned from a wonderful, week-long visit to Santiago, Chile, to attend our friends’ wedding (in which we both had the honor of participating – I sang a song and Max officiated in part of the liturgy) as well as had wonderful reunions at two of our FM churches.
Because of your many prayers, clothing donations, and financial gifts, we were able to give away more than 80 Bibles, hand out about 30 blankets, give children’s reading books, and share pants, sweaters, coats, scarves, and gloves with our Chilean friends. They were so thankful (as you can see from the photos in the slideshow below)!
Thank you so much for the incredible outpouring of support for this SK missions opportunity! Friends have continued to give. Once we tabulate all the expenses, we may even be able to send an additional blessing to the work of our churches in Santiago. What a joy it is to work together for His glory!
Ephesians 4:16 (NIV) From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Dear Max and Kristin,
On behalf of Community Life FMC, we want to thank you for the generous financial support that you have offered to us. We believe that this is enough money to pay for 1 full month of rental here in downtown Santiago. You know what this means, for you are both among we who have been here from the beginning in this work of faith. Even though it has been a big challenge to cover some expenses lately, at the precise moment, God is providing!
Please give our thanks to those that made this miracle possible – to the friends of Kristin’s blog as well as to our fellow brothers and sisters at Edgewood FMC.

Queridos Max y Kristin,
Queremos en nombre de Comunidad Vida agradecer el apoyo generoso que nos han brindado. Creo que esto suficiente dinero como para pagar 1 mes de arriendo. Ustedes saben lo que esto significa, para quiénes hemos estado desde el principio en esta obra de fe, aunque últimamente ha sido un gran desafío cubrir algunos gastos, pero en el momento preciso, Dios da lo que necesitamos.
Den nuestros agradecimientos por este milagro que hacen posible, a las amigas del Blog de Kristin, como a los hermanos o familias de Edgewood.
Un abrazo–
