Dear Ricardo and Beth,,


We have almost reached the end of another year...but we know that as it ends a new year begins with all of its promise, opportunities and challenges. So the end isn't really the end. While we celebrate the ministry successes of 2022, we also look forward to the promises of 2023.


Of course, the end of the year means that we are reaching the end of our year-end giving campaign...but it isn't the end either! We've put all of the previous episodes together into one full-length movie (well, about 7 minutes long) so that you've got all the information in one place.


However, while we would appreciate your tax deductible donation to support this ministry now, at the end of the year, you can give to the Strategic Initiatives for Latin America fund at anytime in 2022 or 2023. All of your gifts will be used to continue participating with God in the transformation of Latin America. We are not begging for money but rather we are inviting you to invest in what God is doing in Latin America. You can do that as an individual or you can invite your church to invest as well or you can take up a special offering.


Each year, the mission districts and conferences put together strategic plans and budgets for the coming year. While some of their funding comes from the members of their churches, they still rely on support from the USA, through faith, for many of the transformational ministries. For 17 countries, the need comes to about $318,000. We head into the new year with about $118,000 in the bank and we have pledges for another $76,000. This means that in order to meet all of the budgets (and it doesn't take into account any emergency situations) we still need to raise $124,000. One of our colleagues calculated that out to be about $3 per Free Methodist. If you can help financially, we would greatly appreciate it! If you can't give, you can pray that these needs will be met.


And so, while we close out the campaign... it isn't really the end. The ministry continues and we look forward to seeing the ways in which God will use us and use your partnership with us in the coming year!

The end of this campaign means we will return to our "normal communication" plan. Our goal is to send a ministry newsletter every month or so (rather than every week) so that you can see the return on your financial and spiritual investments in the ministry to which God has called us!


Before the end of the year, we want to take this opportunity to thank you! The reason many of you get our newsletters is because you support our ministry financially. Thank you for your investment and generosity! Others of you get this newsletter because you pray for us regularly. Thank you for your spiritual support! Many of you do both...and so much more. We are thankful for you all and for your commitment to God through your partnership in ministry with us!


May God be glorified in and through each one of us in the days, months and years ahead! Let's thank Him for good endings and new beginnings!

Happy New Year!

Ricardo, Beth, Juliana & Jonathan
