We have received so many encouraging notes in response
to our last April 2014 update. With this upcoming furlough, we are excited to
see how God will work and provide both for our family and for the work in Gijón,
Spain.
There is a need that we need to mention. In March of
2013, we wrote in our prayer letter that our second son, Andrew, needed to begin urgent orthodontal work to not lose his two front teeth.It would cost approximately 3000€ ($4100) after our dental insurance coverage, and that would include an implant.
We asked for
special financial help for this cost and we are so thankful that your response
was immediate. Andrew got his braces on in April, and by May of 2013 we were
able to pay $2100 and get ahead in payments. In the past year on average Andrew
has made two visits to the orthodontist per month. At the present we need to
pay 400€ ($552) to get caught up again, (they just informed us) and the orthodontist will most likely
put Andrew´s implant in next month before we leave for furlough.
In order to avoid another monthly payment, we are praying
to pay it all off before we leave - $1600.
Would you please pray and consider
giving another special gift toward´s Andrew´s orthodontist bill? We are happy
to know that he is scheduled to be finished with his braces earlier than
expected, possibly in two years instead of three. Then we need to start with
Michael.
To give for Andrew´s braces and/or our travel
needs while we are in the US, please follow this link:
There are two opptions: our personal pay pal if
you don´t need it tax deductable or through our mission CMC which gives a tax
deductable receipt. Please specify if it is for Andrew´s braces or for travel
needs. Again, this furlough is so important so that we can get back up to 100%
support and be able to budget for our boys future dental and school needs.
"Not because I desire a gift: but I desire
fruit that may abound to your account." Philippians 4:17
Thank you again for praying for us and supporting us
financially to preach the Gospel to the lost in Gijón, Spain.
Have a wonderful
Resurrection Sunday!!
Joseph Contreras and family
