Dear Friends & Supporters:

We have just got home from our youth mission trip to Acuna, Mexico. We survived the 100 - 103 degree temperatures and all those teenagers. No, we were just joking. We had an awesome trip with the youth and adults. We have a lot to share with you about the month of June. It was an exciting month for our mission's program

Month of June - A month of Blessings

The first week of June, we were in Kansas with Andrew Wommack for a Gospel Truth Seminar. The meeting was really good. We were blessed again to be able to share about our mission's program and sponsored 85 more of our school children in Nicaragua. We were BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED!! Then the next weekend, Pastor Ron Allen in Cookeville, Tennessee invited us to his church again to share on missions and to do a big cook-out fundraiser for us. We were blessed beyond words. Last year the people of the church sponsored 101 children and gave us $3,500 to help ship our Christmas container. This year, they sponsored 35 more children (total of 136), which makes them our largest sponsoring church. Then they gave us $2,400 from the awesome cook-out, thanks to Sammy B. and his family. Then a few days later, they sent $1,100 more to us ($3,500 total). This is from one church. Is this awesome or what? We are so grateful to you Pastor Ron and Living Hope Church for your love. You will never know how SPECIAL you make us feel. We love you guys! Then the next week we left for our Mexico trip. However, during our Mexico trip, Pastor Dean, our Senior Pastor, went to the Gospel Truth Seminar in Georgia. Pastor Dean took some of our children's sponsorship information and Brother Andrew had him share with the people in our place. That was a great surprise and blessing. Pastor Dean called us in Mexico as soon as the service was over, all excited and going crazy. They were able to sponsor 52 more children for us. Brother Andrew, THANK-YOU for letting Pastor Dean share at the meeting. You will never know how special that was for him. We love and appreciate you greatly!!

Mission Trip to Acuna, Mexico

Over 2000 people were ministered to in 8 days and hundreds received Jesus. On this trip, we had two big outdoor events. One was with all the youth of the churches we work with. We got together to have an outdoor concert with music, dramas, and ministering to all that wanted God to use them to touch their city with the GOSPEL! Todd, our nephew, his wife, Melissa and their 9 year old son, Brandon came on this trip with us. Todd ministered to the youth that God has given everyone a talent to be used by Him and it was time for everyone to rise up and use that talent. Our youth did a drama called, "In the Name of Jesus" that showed God has given us all power and authority over the devil. The whole event was really powerful. At the end, the youth danced and sang for an hour or more. Then the second big outdoor event was under a big tent on a Sunday night. We had around 300 people come out that night. Pastor Darey shared that we already have all victory and power in the name of Jesus. It has already been given to us. We prayed for hundreds of people that night. At the end of the service, we were able to bless every child with a gift bag of toys and every adult with a bag of groceries that we had brought down on our trailer. We also were able to do a lot of street ministry and ministered at all of our churches we help in Acuna. It was a blessing to be able to give all of our pastors a love offering, boxes of groceries, materials for their children's churches and the book "Ama de Dinero" ("Love of Money"), by Pastor Dean to all the pastors and leaders. This trip we did something very special that we have never done on a mission trip. We went to a small nursing home that had 12 elderly seniors. We loved on them and prayed with them for about 2 hours. There was a special man at the home that was 96 years old. He began to sing praises to God and spoke in tongues for an hour. It was so precious and a great honor for our team to be able to go there and help these people that many have forgotten. The little help they receive comes from the government. So we talked to the caregiver about us taking them on to help with food, bed sheets, pillows, medicine and toiletries on a regular basis. For about a $100 - $150 a month we can do a lot to help them. Not only will this be a blessing for them, but it will be a bigger blessing for us. We want them to know how SPECIAL they are to Jesus!!

Updates from Nicaragua

We want to thank everyone for praying and some of you for writing to us about the petroleum problem and the transportation strike that Nicaragua was under the month of May. We are so thankful to report things have gotten better and are back to normal for Nicaragua. We are so grateful to the ones of you that sent us extra money to buy food to help our church and school families during these difficult weeks. Praise God, that during the month of June things are much better. We have been able to continue with our house and school projects. The rains have stopped long enough for us to get things done. We are finishing up on our school Director's home in Las Maderas. She just had a baby, so this will be a blessing for her family. We will start on the next new home the first of July. Little by little we are getting all the homes up to bless a lot of people.

Our Nicaragua schools and 45ft Container

Well the school year for our students in Nicaragua are half over. The students are progressing and have a great school year. The children are so grateful for the help, love and prayers they receive from you, their supporters. Our schools are impacting their lives forever. We wish you could see the students that have been with us for many years. The difference from the first day they came to our schools until now is so amazing. All we can say is THANK-YOU!! Also we have good news, the container that was shipped down the last week of May full of care boxes, many of you sent, plus food and school supplies is already there. We will be back in Nicaragua on August 6th to help distribute all these great blessings to our children and schools. We believe God to possibly send down 2 more containers to Nicaragua before Christmas. It all depends if we can raise the money to do so. We will let you know about the Christmas container very soon, so you know about the care boxes for your children.

We will be home during the month of July to rest and get ready for our upcoming trips. We want you to know how much we love and appreciate you for giving so we can "Go" and see the Nations change because of the gospel of Jesus. Thank you so much to many of you for letting us know how much the newsletters and pictures mean to you. May God continue to bless you to be a blessing to the Nations.

Reaching the Nations,

Pastors Darey & Karen Jolley
