Ted & Juli Kautzmann...with the Latin America Training Network

January 2005

Thank you so much for praying for the Kautzmann family.  Both Sarah and Sam made their trips safely from Indiana and Kenya, respectively in time for Christmas.  We had a great time.  Sarah returned to Taylor U on New Years eve.  Sam is staying here through the Spring.  While here hes taking two courses at a local evangelical seminary, and helping to lead worship at a Christian High School twice a week, at a prision ministry on Fridays, and in our own church.  Hes also hoping to asist in the leadership of a youth group.  At the same time, hes starting to look again at colleges for the Fall. 

Thanks again.  Here are some current prayer requests:

1 A team coming next week from Michigan to paint the LATN building:

·       Good weather for painting
·       Health and safety for team members
·       Productivity and enjoyment in the work

2. Our LATN work:

·       Negotiations underway to set up a course production center as a colaborative project between LATN, ESEPA (a local evangelical seminary) and MAF-LT (Mission Aviation Fellowship Learning Technologies Division).  Pray we would plan this with wisdom and foresight.

·       Pray for the testing of two courses to begin soon.  One is an exciting new course called Hispanic Approaches to the Reformation.  The other, I Corinthians,  is in its second test, this time with a first time on-line mentor living in Iowa (!), but with students in Spain, Venezuela and maybe Costa Rica.  

3.  Kautzmann Family:

·       Our son Sam needs direction and wisdom from God regarding his future and his choice of college this fall.
·       Our church here still lacks a head pastor after 3 years of searching.  Teds on the search committee.  Pray we find the right pastor, in a part of the world in which non-pentecostal pastors with decent preparation are very scarce.

Gratefully,

Ted
