Last Day @ Monte Blanco

"Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt HIS NAME together" ~ Psalms 34:3

I have the privilege of being the Assistant Director of Steppin Out Missions. I am writing on behalf of ITEC Mission and the work that has been accomplished over the last 3 weeks here at Monte Blanco in Bolivia. Yet right now as I stop and reflect upon the last 3 weeks, and the work that has been accomplished I am reminded of Psalms 34:3 and I pray that through every blog entry, every email and phone call home, and now through every missions report given that the Mighty Name of Jesus be Lifted High! SOM & ITEC deserve none of the praise, only the Lord Jesus for what He has accomplished, really despite us. As I write this entry we are relaxing after a morning of packing and then a short truck ride up into the mountains to the highlands. We are indeed done with a huge portion of the work that is here at Monte Blanco. There is still more work to be done though, and I don't want to discount the efforts that are being made by the roofing crew, the sewing ladies, and Don & Art who are in yet another attic today.

Ceci & Christine still working hard in the sewing dept.

The view is amazing! Thanks ITEC .... No more poles!

Priceless.... Tim in Spanish on the left, Chuck in English on the right....telling of God's Faithfulness

Last night was a very special devotional time as we were able to visit and hear from Chuck Ramsey the founder of Latcom. Chuck shared his heart and the story of how he and his late wife Gene first met and were led by the Lord to come to Bolivia. It was a thrilling tale of allowing God to Work, and just joining Him in what He was doing. Chuck encouraged us all to be faithful and to trust that the Lord can still do the impossible, and wants to! I am blessed to serve alongside of my dad (John C) and it was pretty cool to sit last night and see Tim and Chuck in operation. I pray that the Lord would show His Grace to us as He has to the Ramsey's all these years.

God has been very Gracious to all of us that were blessed to participate in this project. We have seen Him provide materials, answered prayers, a spirit of fellowship, and the list goes on and on. Usually you will here someone say "To God be the Glory" when they receive a compliment or an expression of gratitude, but seriously, all of the Glory for the success and impact of the SOM ~ ITEC Electrical Mission to Monte Blanco 2013 belongs to GOD and GOD ALONE!
