JANUARY NEWSLETTER

MISSIONARY REPORT
January 2026

GREETINGS
Dear brothers and sisters, God bless each and every one of you.
We want to express our deepest gratitude for your support during 2025. It was a great blessing to have your backing, and we pray that we can continue to count on your support during this new year of 2026.

ACTIVITIES FOR JANUARY 2026
January 2-13: We had planned to visit our families in El Salvador and the churches we have supported in previous years; however, this visit had to be canceled.

January 17, 24, and 31: We had planned to share the “History Makers 2” course at Bethany

Baptist Church in Estelí, but these activities were also canceled

January 25: A workshop was scheduled at the Baptist Church in San Antonio, which was also canceled.

The cancellation of scheduled activities was due to Pastor Felipe’s health issues. In mid-December, he began a dental procedure that required ten days of treatment before being evaluated by dental specialists. On January 8th, the dentist indicated that it was urgent to perform treatment in two phases:

1) Remove the existing dentures, extract implants and damaged teeth, treat any infections, perform bone grafts, and install a temporary prosthesis (cost: $3,500 USD).

2) Fabricate and place a new hybrid acrylic denture (approximate cost: $3,300 USD).

The first phase began on January 28th. The surgery lasted four hours. I am currently recovering and have been advised to minimize activity during this period. A post-surgical evaluation will be scheduled for February 9, 2026.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT

Despite health limitations, the Lord allowed us to continue with some activities:
January 20: Meeting with a new student, to whom study materials were given.
January 22: Meeting with another student for their evaluation and delivery of their second set of materials

We have also used this time to:
Prepare new courses
Conduct personal medical checkups
Maintain telephone and text communication with the pastors we support
Deliver discipleship materials to some pastors
Provide some ministry consultations

On January 26, I began a discipleship course, which we will share with others after we have completed it. Theos Full Life

FUTURE PROJECTS
We are not currently scheduling any events until this recovery process is complete.
From April 21 to May 12, we will be in Canada, attending to ministry and personal matters.
