We are pleased to announce that we now have 13 missionaries (including their families) in the field as of the end of August. The most recent additions in South America are:

Quito, Equador - Bro. Kevin and Sis. Rebekah Hunter (along with their four children) returned in August after spending about a year or so at home. They plan to remain in Quito for at least a year, God willing, in order to support the ecclesia of 16 members and further the preaching activities in that country.

La Paz, Bolivia - Bro. Jacob and Sis. Fiona Styles (along with their 9-month old son Zadok) arrived safely in mid-July from the Newcastle, Australia ecclesia. They have rented an apartment, started intensive Spanish language training and are becoming familiar with a new culture.  God willing, they will assist the 5 member ecclesia there and continuing preaching efforts throughout the country that Bro. Steve & Sally Jeffries were involved in before they returned home last year. One of the biggest initial challenges though is becoming accustomed to the 12,000 feet altitude!

In North America we are pleased to announce that Bro. Troy and Sis. Annette Haltom have relocated to the Moulton, Alabama area and will be assisting the ecclesia there since Bro. Wes Booker returned home.

Finally, we have the possibility of several other brothers and sisters joining the missionaries in these as well as other areas. So, through July, our budget was pretty well on track, but now that we have several missionaries in the field again, and the promise of more, we ask that you keep us in mind.
