A week in our lives! (scroll down to watch a short video)

HOLA! Thank you for taking the time to read this. It is so important for us. We love to hear your thoughts and also if the Lord is speaking something about us, send us a message! WE NEED YOU.

In this last season, The Lord has confirmed to our hearts so much of what He specifically assigned for our family to do. It has been a season of walking firmly being led by His instruction and also a season of seeing our family grow more together in love.

We have a website! yay! We built a website for our ministry where we have uploaded some videos with training on worship and houses of prayer and there will be some new bible studies coming up soon!

In our website you can also see all of our newsletters, family photos and a description of what we do. Feel free to navigate it and share it! www.harpandbowls.org

During our time in Israel, He told us that we would be bridges to connect. That He wanted us to train people in the understanding of Houses of Prayer and to awaken the Body in what the plan for Israel is. We knew we heard Him and we were very confident at that time that He was calling our family to step into this boldly. However, we didn't know what the looked like exactly.

And now, back in Guatemala, He started to open doors to train people in Houses of Prayer. We didn't even have to look for the opportunities or the need. He inmediately placed us so we could obey. And so we did! We have been training younger missionaries in Prayer Houses and Israel. And we have seen so much fruit!

They have grown in prayer, Israel and worship with understanding. We continue to pray for this. Currently we are meeting at the small room inside the coffee shop. But we are praying and seeking the Lord about looking for a bigger space to have the House of prayer. We believe that it is crucial for the Church to start walking at some level in this model, as the Church we need to invest ourselves in the Word and learn to relate to each other in smaller settings with Hymns, Psalms and spiritual singing. We believe that the Church will need to gather at homes at some point and we have the task to train and teach this to as many people we can.

There's many people around us that have the same heart of sustainig a House of Prayer. We are grateful that we do not have to do this alone. We are dreaming of having a bigger place in Antigua to one day host a 24/7 House of intercession and continual worship (Revelation 5:8) Would you please contend in prayer with us so that He can direct, guide and send the provision for this?

As a family, we are growing so much. The girls are doing great! They are growing fast. We have been studying the book of Revelation with them, and they are learning and we have seen how much the love the Word. It has been amazing. Here in the photo (on your right) you can see us 4 as a family at the Prayer House, where Daniela was interceding and encouraging everyone to pray based on Isaiah 66:1, she loves to intercede with the Word!

This week is their last week of school before Christmas Break. We are going to spend this time at home and my family is coming from Honduras to visit. We are so excited to be with them and rest.

During our medical visits we have seen many people be transformed. We are so encouraged each week to see that we are doing what He is asking of us to do. Every week people grow a little more in knowing Jesus during each visit and we are getting to grow more alongside with them as well.

Our goals, dreams, praise reports and prayer requests:

1. Pray for wisdom about our connection with Israel and the Middle East. We keep asking the Lord how to continue connected and when to go again for a longer period. He spoke that we will go again for a longer time. We are seeking Him everyday to give us clarity and wisdwom. We know that we are bridges between Arabs and Jews, but also the church and the nations. Please pray for Israel with us. If you would like to know how to pray for them, we can send you information.

2. Unity as a family. Direction for us as parents about the girls. And just for our family to grow more in the Lord.

3. The Lord has provided for our family one more supporter in the last month, to be able to continue doing missions. We are still not fully funded (according to our eyes, but God always provides), but we continue to pray for the Lord to send more people to stand with us financially. He has answered our prayers!

4. Monthly support to be able to sustain a prayer house in Guatemala.

5. Humility and perseverance in our hearts as we know Him more.

NOW ONE LAST THING! Have you ever wondered what a week in our life looks like? Here it is! We have filmed day by day what we do so that you can have a clearer picture of our family and our ministry. It is very nice! Thank you for loving us.
