A new year

With 2012 around the corner it is time to firm up commitments for the March trip! I'm going and our team is about 12 large! More computer work to be done and teaching at the school. Should be good! Start praying now!

The work for Casa Materna continues!  Thank you for your donations!

It is great to know that the work continues in Nicaragua. There is another team there now.  They have purchased an air conditioner for the computer lab and are working on various aspects at Verbo!

Free Audiobook Download - The Next Story

Thought that some of you would be interested in an audiobook.  I will let the synopsis speak for itself.
Enjoy!
The book is available at christianaudio.com

The Next Story: Life and Faith After the Digital Explosion by Tim Challies is the free audiobook download for May 2011. Yes, a book being delivered digitally, in audio format, aims to guide us on how to think Biblically regarding digital technology.

In an organized and methodical fashion, Challies outlines a brief history of technology and the incredible changes over the last 150 years. He then details topics of communication, authority, identity, privacy, and many other parts of technology that all require us to address them in a discerning and Biblical manner. This is one of the few books not only speaking to our current need of how to address the digital implosion, but frames a perspective to deal with the myriad of upcoming decisions that face us in light of new devices and technologies.

Tim Challies is a noted blogger and author with a significant background in technology. He blogs daily at www.challies.com.

christianaudio would like to thank Zondervan, the publisher of this book. For more information on Zondervan, its mission, and the titles they publish, please visit www.zondervan.com.

Blessing,

Updated Computer Lab Info

Hola!
The computer lab at Verbo is up and running.  Thanks to your support I am proud to announce that they have the tables and chairs setup and they are in business!  Keep them in prayer as there are still needs to be met - they have a lot of learning to do!

They are also having some difficulty with the wireless setup.

Thought you'd appreciate some photos to see what things look like now!

They are still in need of the following:
- Air Conditioning - the room I am sure gets hot and there are not a lot of windows any more
- whiteboards
- sound system (ie: good speakers)
- tool kit for repairing computers

If you are heading down in the near future to Bluefields and can help in these areas, it would be appreciated!

They have the computers we have, but are still not on level ground to the rest of the world - how can you help?

I'll keep updating as things come in.  Also, we have setup a wiki (work in progress right now...)
