Ben & Jane Mock
Establishing Churches in Ecuador
February 8, 2005
Dear Praying Friends,
Over the past few months we have rejoiced to see a steady stream of
individuals come to make decisions for Christ. In virtually every outreach of
our current ministry in Cayambe, our regular services, ladies’ and men’s
fellowships, youth programs, AWANA Clubs and Jane’s counseling labors, we are in
a time of harvest of souls. Some have made their decision to be saved after
years of prayer and witnessing; others are being reached and won through new
contacts. One couple recently accepted the Lord following the tragic death of
their daughter. A young man Jane had been treating for a learning disability
was saved a couple of weeks ago, and I had the privilege of baptizing him and
his mother and brother this past Sunday, along with several others. We will
write again soon about more of these new converts, but for now we would like to
share a pressing need for which we covet your prayers.
After nearly two years of standing in long lines, countless phone calls and
email communication, filling out stacks of paperwork and generally being
frustrated by the whole process, this Thursday is the “big day” when we hope to
be issued our children’s visas which will allow them to travel to the U.S. and
finally become American citizens. Tomorrow we will be making the long trip to
Guayaquil, Ecuador, where we will meet with Department of Homeland Security
officers at the U.S. Consulate there for the (hopefully) final crucial
interview. Please pray that all will go well, and that the Lord will be
gracious to allow us to secure the visas without further delay (and expense),
and thus be enabled to prepare for the furlough we hope to take starting in the
summer.
Also, we would appreciate your continued supplications for our health. I am
getting over a bout of pneumonia, and Jane is suffering from ills, including
extremely low blood pressure, which may require diagnosis and treatment from
specialists which are not readily available here.
In His Care,
Ben and Jane
