Since we have tied up our activities in Bolivia, our broadcast of news has become less frequent. We did, however, want to keep you posted as to what we've been up to during our first month in Texas.
Originally we had thought that it would take several weeks to penetrate the fog of uncertainty before we finally discovered what we might be here to do. Our first week was certainly a flood of mixed feelings and hightened emotional vulnerability, but after our first week, we began to sense our options narrowing down to a family-business, which involved using the resources we had with the business platforms that Alan's parents had created over the last three years. The umbrella business is a Limited Liability Company with several Partnerships underneath them. For now, Alan has become one of the partners in one of the Partnerships, called Pathway Builders, a Real Estate Investment Company.
As for ministry, we keep in contact with the Mission Movement in Bolivia and have been able to raise funds for one student and a couple to get training in Singapore. We desire to become more involved in Hispanic Ministry in the future, but the church where we attend has not explored this area yet- hopefully we can change that.
We ask that you continue to pray for the close of our house in Bolivia, as we still await the final funds to get wired through to us.
Alan hopes to make a trip to Bolivia early next year, accompanied by Christian Business Leaders, and association of Christian executives and statesmen. He hopes to start a chapter of CBL in Santa Cruz in order to unite Christian Leaders around the common goal of expanding the Kingdom.
Alissa has started home schooling for our three girls, and has found it both challenging and rewarding. Please pray that she will have grace to teach the girls this year and be able to balance her spiritual time with all her activities.
Until next time, God bless you all,
the Holcombes
