Letter from Kevin & Kathy Bruce

Howdy from Ecuador!

We spent all day working with the Lita team and 9 Awa to set up here in Lita for our 8th annual Awa Believers' Conference. It was exciting to see the Awa and the Millans and Rosales' helping us get ready this year, and their enthusiasm for setting things up. The meeting tent is up, the benches in place, the chicken soup is on the stove, and the kids' room is being prepared as I write.

Kevin spent a few minutes this afternoon going over his Bible lessons and the Bible memory verse he will be teaching, 1 John 2:6, which in Awa reads, "Minpazha 'Dios wanmaktit ish' kizmumikane Jesucristo au sukin uztakanain uzarawa." For the Awa believers that verse just hits the spot this year! (Read it for yourself in English to see what it says!) Our theme is "Becoming like Jesus" and many of the lessons are based on the Gospels and Jesus' example to us (like resisting temptation).

We are expecting about 40-50 Awa this year, including most of the believers in Ecuador. If the Lord brings the Conference to your mind, would you pray for us over the next few days? Pray for those Awa who come, that they will hear and understand the Bible lessons, also pray for Kevin and Doug as they teach the lessons, for fluency and good communication. We begin tonight (Thursday) and end up with a morning service on Sunday.

Thanks!
We appreciate the part you play in this ministry!
In Him,
Kevin and Kathy Bruce
