UPDATE JANUARY 2013

Dear Family,
   It has been some time since last we updated. We are alive and well currently in the U.S. at mom and dad's home standing vigil as our last days with mom pass very slow. Maria has been a God sent in helping dad through these difficult times. Mom's condition worsens as we all prepare for the Lord to take her home. Our mission in Honduras continues with like minded missionaries and Hondurans. Calvary Pena Blanca continues to grow and with that, come growing pains which helps us plant a stronger foundation. New on the seen is Adam Donato and family as he assists in all areas but mainly working with the youth.  His wife Alicia will be helping us build our women's ministry.  Maria and I have been experiencing "trials" but God is and has been faithful to see us through them all.  The family of Christ has been a tremendous support spiritually and physically. Pastor Chris would like to extend an invitation to individuals,  pastors and more over, mission groups. The invitation extends to helping complete (the church) Calvary Pena Blanca, work with children at risk, evangelism and basically work with the wonderful people of Honduras. Our prayer needs:  Please pray for the  mission home in El Eden, that it would open up so we may provide a resource and income for young men and mission teams that work side by side with us. Please pray for the completion of our children's ministry at Pena Blanca, for a play ground and fence around our property.  Pray about TRANSPORTATION NEEDS for our hard working and upcoming church leaders. Pray for the support of our local missionaries of  Pena Blanca.  We have seen amazing things happen at our mission site and we thank God for the good times and the bad times as they will always go hand in hand. We pray for blessings upon all our readers and contributors to the Rivera Mission.  In His name Pastor Chris.
