American Missionary Fellowship

Trying to get in touch with Joel via email or phone on Saturday was futile. I stayed up through the wee hours of the morning on Sunday. I pored over news articles on the Internet, and my heart sank when I saw buildings with walls torn off in Vina del Mar. At about 2 a.m., in answer to my prayer, I came across a travel blog from another university student from Arizona. She said that all of the students with the University of Arizona were safe. That news allowed me to sleep.

Then, in the morning, I received an email from Joel’s host family with these assuring words, “Estamos muy bien y nuestra casa resistió en gran forma el terremoto.” (“We are fine and our house resisted the earthquake in grand fashion.”)

In the midst of dealing with a serious car accident, God gives a little peice of comfort that brings big joy by answering prayer for a lost dog.

Our bi-monthly update of praise reports and prayer requests

We have been living in the heart of Philadelphia since the spring of 2005.  We have a heart for the city.  Isaiah 54:14 says, “In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.”  This is the message we proclaim to the hurting people around us, the Good News that we have in Christ Jesus our Lord! 

God has answered our prayers and opened a door for us to serve with AMF.  We were recently approved as area missionaries to serve right in our own backyard!  We are just beginning the journey of raising support and would love your prayers.
