The women's ministry of Iglesia Bautista Vueda Nueva held a tea on Saturday, May 20, to raise support for Evelyn and Marco Umaña as God is leading them to a new opportunity for their spiritual growth ad development. God has opened a door for Evelyn to pursue a master’s degree in Outdoor and Adventure Leadership at Wheaton University in Wheaton, Illinois. The master’s program includes working at the Leadership Training Center at Honey Rock Camp in Three Lakes, Wisconsin. Marco will work in the administrative and program areas at the camp and their daughter, Mariela, will continue her studies and have the opportunity to experience a new culture in the United States.
Evelyn and Marco have been co-directors of the Children's Ministry at our church for the past seven years and will be greatly missed. Under their leadership, hundreds of children have come to know Jesus as their personal Savior through Sunday School, children's camps and VBS.
By God's grace, Evelyn has received a partial scholarship through the Billy Graham Center Scholarship Program. The scholarship covers almost 70% (registration, tuition, books, health insurance) of the total cost of $70,000. In order to commit to the project, they need to raise the remaining $23,000 before they can apply for their visas.
Would you be willing to help them raise the remainder of their support? Your tax-deductible gifts may be made to United World Mission at http://uwm.org/projects/project-22040/. Please include: Support for Study Costs of Umaña Rivas Family in the comment section.
They also covet your prayer support; please pray:
For God’s provision to meet their financial needs
in a timely manner
For God’s wisdom and instruction
For good health
For support as they transition/acclimate to the US culture and customs
For God’s guidance to be able to
complete all the required tasks before they leave
