Another rainy afternoon, Amigos!  Just wanted to take a few minutes for P.P.& I.....Prayer, praise, and information.

We've been working with a "small group" in a church ministering in a really poor remote village of El Carmen.  We've been able to spearhead a medical clinic there joining with this group which includes a MD.  It was so neat....last Wednesday night we met with the group, and prayed for medication.  I was able to get some money to them to buy some, although it was insufficient for needs. The very next morning I had an e-mail about an organization that had some medications for severe discount, although many have only six months before expiration.  Wow!  SO, Friday I met with the folks, and basically bought about 15 greatly needed meds in quantities for about $175., which would have easily cost over $2000. otherwise!

So, thank God with us as we excitedly prepare to minister at El Carmen in mid month.  We have also arranged for a guy here to build some water filters ideal for conditions in such a setting.  All the while, telling participants and the populace of God's plan of salvation and inviting them to the church plant our group has been working on, as the only evangelical infulence there.

So, between these arrangements and keeping up with our language training we've been staying really busy...and blessed also...  The new living arrangement has been one of those...much biggen than our last litttle apartment, and a bit less financially.  It's also closer in to help save $5.60 gas...

We'll update again after clinic and try to get some photos on as well. A heartfelt thank you to all of you for reading, praying, and giving as you can.

Name: "Kassie Hodges"

I'm so excited for all the Lord is doing in your lives right now! Wow, I am amazed over & over how our God provides. I wish I could come see yall in Antigua. I will pray for your small group and language studies. Hunter is now going to Hebrew class with me. He is right on track at the same level as all the grown ups in the class. He is coming along on his spanish vocab as well. Blake has a current interest in Spanish. He will always ask me, "mom, how do you say...in Spanish". It is fun for me. I pray that God would pull at Fletcher's heart to make a move. Love yall. Kassie
