DeVall Update August 12

August 25, 2009 in Richard and Stephanie DeVall by Katie Crigger

Dear Prayer Warriors,
I had asked you to pray for our trip to San Marcos awhile back.  We were not able to make it on the scheduled time due to a death in the church here in Vallegrande and I being asked to do a graveside service.  Please pray for the Guzman family as they adjust to this loss.  Sister Benigna had not been faithful to services recently but in the past had made a profession of faith.  She has several relatives who attend the church and others who are very catholic.
Monday Larry Shetter and I did make the trip to San Marcos, we were able to present the reasons for putting an airstrip into the community and also we had a small service.  Most of those who attended were intent as I presented the Gospel and one man seemed obviously upset by the truth of the Gospel.  Please pray for this settlement and the 75 residents that call it home.  Today one of the women who was in the meeting arrived in Vallegrande to let me know that the community does want to put in an airstrip and that they are trying to work out a land deal with someone who owns the land right next to the school for the airstrip.
Please pray for the following people who live in San Marcos, Juan Sandoval, Edil Sejas, Dalcy Sejas, Adan Sejas, Condido and Margarita, Bano another man by the name of Juan.  These are the names that I remember of the adults who where in the meeting.
We are planning the Bible conference for the Christian Baptist Church of Vilcas for September 17-19.  Please remember this in your prayers.  Please remember to pray for Jhonny and Saida to get their paperwork situation taken care of before the confernece.
Please continue to pray for the “delicate situation” as it has not been resolved yet.
Please continue to pray for Pastors for the churches in Vilcas and Vallegrande.

July 2009 DeVall Update

July 17, 2009 in Richard and Stephanie DeVall by Katie Crigger

July 13, 2009,
Dear Prayer Warriors,
It has been a while since I wrote.  No excuses it just has been.  I thank the Lord for this medio of communication email and that we can take advantage of it.  Your prayers are greatly needed and appreciated.  For the last 3 weeks we have had a Crown College student Nathan Thomas with us.  It was a blessing to spend time with him and allow him to see the type of ministry we have first hand.  We both had a first experience in that one Sunday he preached for the first time with a translator and I translated for the first time.  Over all it went well.
The brethern in Vilcas continue to attend faithfully and seem to be making some steps forward in their walk with the Lord. However there is a very delicate situation that I ask prayer for.  I do not feel liberty to share details at this time, but do ask that you pray.  The Lord knows the details.
Please pray for my oldest daughter Rebekah, Wednesday she will be teaching for the first time.  Not only will this be her first time to teach a BIble lesson, she will be doing so in sign language.  She has chose the story of David and Goliath although it is well know I am sure that the Lord will use this opportunity to teach her something and also teach the deaf.  It is a joy to see her desire to learn more sign language and use what she is learning for the Glory of the Lord.
We continue to experience problems with the airplane, however, it seems that this time it is a fuel contamination problem.  We are not sure what to do at this point or how to get good fuel.  Please pray that the Lord would give wisdom in all the decision making process concerning the aviation ministry.
Once again your prayers are invaluable to the ministry here.  Please continue to keep us before the thrown of grace.

Dear Prayer Warriors,

Tomorrow (Saturday) we are heading to Postrervalle and Vilcas as a family.  The last time we did this on our return trip the road fell out from under the jeep.  I am sure my wife is a little concerned.  However, they have recently graded the road.  Please remember us in your prayers as we travel.  We hope to spend some time visiting and encouraging  the believers especially in Vilcas.

Please pray for Brother Ruben Terrazas and his wife Dorilda.  She has Read the rest of this entry →
