Dear Friends and Family,
We hope that you have had a great start to your year this January. January has been a slow month in some ways, but a very busy month in others. This month, we were able to spend some time in at home in Jacksonville with our friends and family as well as take care of some things we can't do while on the road. Everyone really enjoyed getting to see how much Lila has grown and developed. She now “talks” all the time and grabs at everything she can see! It has also been good to attend our home church and be involved in sharing the Gospel here at home!
In January, we had a lot less traveling than we are used to. While we had scheduled meetings in Alabama and Florida, most of our time was spent trying to fill our schedule for 2012. As far as scheduling is concerned, January was the most productive month we have ever had! Throughout the month we have scheduled 21 meetings in the states of Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia! Although we now have a nearly full schedule for the next 3 months, we also have many meetings booked throughout the rest of the year. In January, we also saw 2 new supporting churches and 1 more that has committed to begin support next month.
Over the last month, God has given me more of a burden to pray for the churches and people we come into contact with. We believe that God still answers prayer and that “with God all things are possible.” As we look into the coming months, we need God more than ever! Please pray for:
1. That God will enable churches to support us in Nicaragua.
2. That we will be able to fill our calendar for 2012.
3. That God will use us while we are on deputation.
Thank you for your prayers!
In Christ,
Jeremy and Michelle Blanz
