Hola our special friends.

The good news is that someone just donated within the last few days $20,000 to Broken Chains for Humanity. Plus $10,000 to help pay for a house for Sofia to live in near the soon to be built Colis Church. And $10,000 more to be set aside to help pay for Sofia's house or to help defray any medical expenses she might have in the future. The house and new church will be owned by the Guatemala Conference
of Seventh-day Adventist.

Soon our construction team will build a clinic/bunkhouse in November. Robin and Carol Miller will be going to Guatemala on August 18 to minister to the Guatemalan people for a month. Dr. Danny will also be joining Robin and Carol in Guatemala to purchase the materials needed to build our bunk house/clinic.

Thank you for your faithful dedication to the work God has given us in Guatemala. Each and every one of you has contributed your own prayers, finances, unique talents, and abilities to our work in Guatemala that is growing rapidly day by day.

The bad news is that Marilyn my dear wife of 52 years has cancer. Pathology told us yesterday that the large tumor recently removed from Marilyn's arm is cancerous. She will probably start radiation treatment next week. The name of her cancer is myxofibrosarcoma. We are encouraged by the fact that it is a slow growing cancer, and the doctors are saying they will carefully monitor it to stop any new growth. We are also grateful to our loving heavenly Father who cares so much for us. Any medical advice is welcomed, and your prayers are greatly appreciated.

We love you all.

Good morning! Important and exciting things are happening to Broken Chain for Humanity Inc. After two long years of Covid related delays we received a grant for $10,000 from ASI Pacific Union to drill a well on our property, This well drilling will start in the very near future. Plans are in progress to secure needed building materials before the price hikes begin to take effect. During the Thanksgiving holidays two groups of volunteer worker will begin construction on the bunkhouses. The Lord's timing is correct. We praise Him for His blessings!

Greetings Friends,

We praise the Lord on this day, September 20, 2020 .Two significant events have happened This afternoon Jody and Robbie Raines
colusa construction meeting(1).jpg
, and their three sons flew out of Sacramento on their way to Guatemala. In Guatemala they will be doing some construction on our property, medical, and perhaps even some mechanical work. They will also be looking for a permanent place to live when they return as long-term missionaries in the near future. The second event is that our ambulance arrives on the Mexican/Guatemala border this evening!

But wait there's more. Robin and Carol Miller will be flying to Guatemala in the near future as well. They too will be serving the people of Guatemala doing construction on our property and giving free medical attention to the people. They will also be looking for housing, etc. so they can return on a permanent basis. Robbie and Jody and Robin and Carol are tentatively planning to alternate six months at a time as our missionaries. The picture below shows a construction planning meeting that was recently led by Mark Juarez who is sitting alone across from Robin, Jody, Robbie, and Caleb their son while Carol looks on. Bill Gibson, Mark's construction assistant and Nathan and Luke Raines are not in the picture.

Please keep praying. We feel God is opening many doors in this pandemic. Someday we will have a medical/ dental clinic that will specialize in maternity and child care. Hundreds of lives will be saved. There will also be a wellness center for children sick or dying from malnutrition. Finally, our ambulance will be a mobile medical clinic going to remote villages offering free medical/dental care. Please join us in our vision. Help us make that 'someday' come even sooner by your prayers and unselfish contributions. We are a 501(c)3 tax deductible nonprofit with no paid staff. All are volunteers. Donate at our website: bc4humanity.com
Or send a check to : Broken Chains for Humanity, 5050 Laguna Blvd., #426, Elk Grove, CA 95758.

Keep trusting in Jesus and His wonderful promises like Romans 8:28. .

We are in the midst of a fund raising campaign to raise funding for construction of medical dental clinic and dorms for our volunteers doing medical dental ministry and construction ministry.

Hola bc4h board and special friends:

Sofia (purple dress) received a donation to buy food for folks at the dump. She is also on the radio twice a week sharing the Good News of Jesus and healthful living. She is working with children and feeding senior citizens and giving Bible studies to 38 people a week.

Oscar who donated our land is now building cabins near our property for volunteers who want to buy a cabin (see next email)
After years of negotiations with Guatemala the ambulance will be ready to be driven down when the borders open.

Robin and Carol, Jody and Robbie are planning a mission trip in August. Next March Mark Juarez is planning a construction trip. The medical/dental team is gearing up for a trip in March. However, this is all contingent on the border opening.
This year we did not have a camp meeting fundraising booth so we sent over 200 post cards asking for donations.

I was hungry and you gave me meat: I was thirsty and you gave me drink: I was a stranger and you took me in: naked and you clothed me:
I was sick and you visited me: I was in prison and you came unto me. Matthew 25:35

New building plans?

Hello friends of Broken Chains for Humanity

So how are you and your family doing. Marilyn and I are doing great. A little bored but doing just fine. Finally, I have time to pull weeds in my back yard. Marilyn and I have time to clean out the garage. and we have time to do our taxes. You know, all the fun things we have been wanting to do but never had enough time to do it. Let the fun times begin!

As many of you know we canceled our March 18-31 mission trip. It was very sad. This was going to be the trip of all trips. We had many volunteers sign up for this trip. Thanks to the Corona virus it never happened. But wait there's more. Guatemala cancelled all flights coming from America on March 14. But by this time we already had five volunteers in Guatemala. They were determined to carry on the good work in Colis even though it wasn't a regular Broken Chains trip. The volunteers were Robin and Carol Miller, Lourdes Monez, and Clark and Elizabeth Cowan. I had the privilege of communicating with them over the two weeks.

I will let our heroic volunteers share with you their amazing story of unselfish service and miracles. They did everything we do on trips only on a smaller scale. They worked on the property. and they went to Jalapa and passed out food at the dump.
They held a clinic for 140 people in four days. They made sure that only five people came in at a time. They held fluoride treatments for the kids, and the list goes on and on. As I mentioned this is their story to tell. They will share it with you when they return. Yes, when they return. They are still in Guatemala and by God's grace will return home in just a few days.

Please pray that they will have a safe trip home and that all will go well. They have been working very hard and deserve a good rest where they will once again see their family, friends, and pets.

May God bless you, your family, and friends as we all sit out this awful pandemic. Let us determine to keep our courage and trust in God and His promises. He will see us through!

Ron
