Friends,
Please be praying for Todd and Renae as they lead our Walking On Water Mission Trip in Chile right now through Jan. 13th.
Below are a few photos of the team and a update with prayer requests especially for the Walking On Water movie night outreaches Weds. and Thursday of this week. I wish I could be there with the team, but it is so encouraging to see what God is doing through Todd and Renae as our Missions Directors!

Thank you for your prayers!

God bless you today,

Bryan J.

CHILE MISSION TRIP UPDATE FROM THE FIELD:

Hope all is going well! Just wanted to give you a little Chile update.
Everything is going great so far and the team is AWESOME!!!! A few people are sick so please be praying that they would feel better and more energized soon.
It has been so encouraging to team up with the YWAM crew over here in Pichilemu! It is amazing to see how the Lord is using this base to impact the community around them and share God’s love with the people here! The YWAM base is truly a part of the community here and it is just so neat to see how much the people respect Mitch and the other YWAM students. Mitch has done an amazing job at creating relationships with the locals- where, even if they are not believers they are accepting of the mission and message of the base. It is funny, we were walking to go surf the other day and Todd had to use the restroom but didn’t have any money with him (if you are in town you have to pay to use the bathroom)… There were two guys in charge of the restroom. He told them that he didn’t have any money and one of the guys didn’t care and just said “no” but then his friend Chimed in and said, “no, let him use it. They are good people” – It was just neat to see that the people in town really respect the people from the YWAM base… and that view seems to be pretty wide-spread with whomever we run into.
As far as ministry projects go,
We helped put on their surf contest at Punta De Lobos on Saturday. Some of the guys helped with the judging, other’s with signing people up and getting individuals ready for their heats, I took pictures, and we handed out some flyers with the YWAM base info on it so that people could get plugged into their summer programs- some of the guys on our team also surfed in the contest ! We got started a little later than we planned, but eventually, A LOT of people showed up to watch. Other than that we have been helping with odd jobs around the base, building walls, putting up fences, painting signs for with scripture on them for the base, painting the bathroom, etc. and last night we went to hand out flyers for our movie nights on Wed and Thursday! PLease be praying for our upcoming movie nights (Wed and Thurs). Everyone we gave flyers to seemed to be stoked about it so please pray that the Lord would use these events to open their hearts to His message of grace and Love…. and on top of all that we have somehow even found time to surf here and there!
