Dear Friends:
Greetings this morning. We ask for your prayers for our future daughter-in laws Danielle's father. His name is Juan Guerra. He has been in the
hospital in Toledo, Ohio for the last few days suffering from pneumonia. We were notified late last night that he is going in for a heart
catheterization as they found something wrong as they have been treating his other problem. Juan loves the Lord and needs your prayers at this
time.
Also Diana and I are leaving this afternoon for a 4 day ministry trip to El Salvador, we ask for your prayers for that trip as well. I will be teaching
a seminar tomorrow on Reaching Unreached Peoples as well as preaching 2-3 times on Sunday.

Dear Friends:
Greetings from Guatemala. Well the last 2 weeks have been busy ones to say the least. Here at the Missionary Training Center I have been
teaching during those weeks Church History I and Church History II. We have had a great time covering the centuries. This coming next week
I am scheduled to teach Missions History. These courses here at the end of the year I enjoy so much teaching, that I almost can't wait to get to
this point in the school year.
Today the students and staff are at our "Manna For The Children Feeding Center" where they are doing a morning of ministry to the 40+ kids
and then serving them lunch.
We are just 2 weeks away from graduation and the 8 students are very excited. This year we have had students from 3 different countries,
representing 6 different churches. We are so blessed to have been able to build ODMI's reputation as a missions training ministry through
churches in the States and here in Central America. We give the Lord all the glory for this favor. More on this years students and the plans for
the future in the next update.
Last week the students, staff, pastors wives and other ODMI Missionaries threw a surprise wedding shower for Danielle. It was a great night
for everyone that attended and Joel and Danielle were blessed with many nice gifts. Tonight we guys on staff are taking Joel out to the driving
range, a movie and dinner.
Diana and Sister Sunne have been away since Thursday at a Women's Retreat for Missionaries and are due back this afternoon. Next weekend
Diana and I will be in El Salvador where I will be teaching 25 students on Missions Perspectives and preaching 2-3 times as well. We will also
be meeting to set up a Central American Missions Conference that will be centering in on reaching Muslims.
I do need to share a need with you. When Joel comes to the States at the end of October he will be staying for about 5 weeks. He will be in
need of a vehicle. If anyone might have a spare car he and Danielle could use would you give us a shout out. We would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your love and support. Many of you have been standing with us for the whole time we have been on the mission field, 24 years.
Thank you for allowing us to minister His Love and Grace in your place.
Always His For The Harvest:
Kirk, Diana, Micah, Joel and Danielle
