Back to Trips with MRI

Dear Friends and Family,

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent?" Romans 10:13-15

Greetings. We are writing to tell you how God has called us to return to Bolivia with MRI again this year. We are very excited to have this opportunity to work with the SAM missionaries to minister to the Bolivian people groups. Last year was such a rewarding experience carrying out many different ministries and working on the church in Fua. What a pleasure it was to be able to provide a place of worship for the Ayoré in this village. We are excited and expectant to see how God can and will use our team again this year.

We will be visiting our long-time friends in Poza Verde doing VBS, as well as women's and men's ministries. In addition, the team will be returning to Fua to check on the progress of the new church, do construction on the school and continue building the relationships we started. We have been informed by Drs. Placido and Toni Mercado that we will be visiting Ayoré villages in Santa Teresita and Urucu launching new ministries. We look forward to seeing the children in these villages that are such a joy to our hearts. Participating in the medical outreach, which is a blessing to these who rarely see doctors, is also on the agenda.

We would like to ask you to partner with us this year as we travel from June 24th through July 4th. First and foremost, will you pray to our Heavenly Father that He provides safe travel, financial needs, health, and equips us for the task that He has called us to. Prayer is so important to help us stay focused on what the Lord has commissioned us to do. Please pray that God will open doors and prepare the hearts of the people we will visit with His message of truth and that He will be glorified.

Secondly, together our personal financial responsibility is $3,200. We know these times are hard for all of us, but we would like to count on your financial support as a vital part of making this ministry possible. If you feel lead to help us financially, you can make your tax-deductable check payable to Orange Hill Baptist Church and indicate it is for the Bolivia mission trip for Steve and Steve. Please know we appreciate whatever you can give, and believe this can be a blessing to you also as a partner in this ministry. This is quite a challenge! But no challenge is too great for God!

If you have any questions about this upcoming mission trip, please contact either one of us at 770-819-0927 and be sure to visit www.mrimissions.org to see last year’s trip or to make a donation by credit card. We thank you in advance for your faithfulness and remember you always in our prayers.

We look forward to sharing with you all the Lord will accomplish upon our return.

In His service,

Steve and Steve Harding
