"March-itis", and Bolivians

How's your "March-itis"?

In Santiago, March is the month when everything starts up for the year -- the holiday period is finally over! It's back to the grind of work, school, and bills. March is also the month when everybody has to pay their car registration (it pays to go early!). Banking ads are offering easy credit to help relieve people of "March-itis".

For the Sheads, March brings some new beginnings: Stephen will lead a new Bible study group at church, while Rebecca has started a weekly group in our home for CEP/ministry wives and their preschool children. Neither of these things are typical here, so we are hoping we can help people appreciate their value!

CEP news

Martín and Carla have arrived from Bolivia with their 3 young children. Martín is one of 5 new full-time first year students at the CEP. There are 8 second years and several part-time students.

Stephen teaching at CEP

Give thanks...
  • That Stephen's first 2 weeks at CEP went well.
  • That the children are happy to be back at school.

Please pray...
  • For Stephen's church Bible study group to begin well.
  • For Rebecca to be an encouragement to the mums who come to the group.
  • For Martín and his family to settle in quickly.
  • For Stephen's Old Testament classes at CEP to be stimulating and helpful.
  • (again!) that our visas will be granted soon.

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them. -- Matt. 18:20
