I hope you’re all enjoying
summer up in the Northern Hemisphere! Winter down here has been pretty nice and sunny
so far but I’m looking forward to being back in California
FIRST: I’ll be home from
July 20th until early/mid September and can’t wait to see as many of
you as I can!! My
goal will be to see and share with as many of our Fuego Urbano family, friends,
and supporters as I can about all God is doing through Fuego Ubano, as well as
with any people, churches, groups, organizations, or ministries who are new to
Fuego Urbano and would like to know more about us, so if you know of any then please
let me know so we can try to set something up. And if you’d like to meet
individually to catch up or hear more on a more personal level, then just email
me greg@fuegourbano.org
and we’ll schedule it. I’ll be hosting a
couple larger sharing events like last summer and let you know about the dates
once I have them, but until now nothing is set. That also reminds me: my travel
expenses for this trip home will be around $1,800 which we currently don’t
have, so if you would like to pray about helping me cover that cost, that would
be a HUGE blessing too (see giving instructions below).
SECOND: God has been doing
amazing things in the Surfers Bible Study in my apartment! It’s been awesome to see
how God has opened the hearts and minds of so many of the surfers here recently.
We’ve been meeting now for about 6 weeks with some of the best and most influential
surfers around, who also happen to be super hungry and motivated to know God. In
fact, one of the most motivated of all also happens to be among the top 2-3
surfers in Chile
THIRD: Gislaine started a
women’s prayer and bible-study group at their house because God keeps bringing
us all these people from the downtown and beach areas of La Serena; so even though we won’t launch our services in the hotel until
January, we’re using this time to develop leaders among the surfers, women, and
the group in Las Compañías, so that we’re all ready to launch big in January.
FOURTH: The new skate-park
on the beach is done and simply awaiting it’s official opening. It should clear all the
legalities and open in the next week or two, and will be a huge focal point for
all the skaters of La Serena who live closer to the downtown and beach areas. Once
it opens we’ll be skating there lots to mark a presence with the skaters, share
with them, and eventually invite them to the Fuego Urbano services we’re going
to launch in the hotel in January. Please pray for us and them!
FIFTH: I was recently asked
to write and contribute to the Christian discipleship website ‘Trochia,’ which seeks to encourage & equip followers of Jesus Christ. My writings post a few
times per month and there are other contributors too, so check out the website
at: http://www.trochia.org/ and the Trochia Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Trochia to get encouraged in your faith.
FINALLY: As always there are 3 ways you may give financially to Fuego Urbano. For Automatic Monthly Online Donations you
may sign up for amounts of $25, $50, $100, or $200 per month. Just go to the
right side of my Blog (http://greghaugh.blogspot.com)

take you through the process. One-Time
Online Donations are available as well: click the ‘Donate’ button on my
Blog just below where it says ‘1-Time Donation’ and it will take you through
the process. Or if you prefer Personal

Thank so much for all your
prayers and support, and I look forward to seeing you soon!
