Website continues to grow
Our new Internet computer server system is just about functional and
should be up and running by the time you receive this letter. With the
new servers, it will allow us to greatly expand the ministry. As you
know, Gospel Com has allowed us to use their large servers free of
charge for our text and graphics, but we needed to pay to have the
videos on their site.
We were hampered by being charged for band width
use; this meant that our video costs were greatly increasing monthly. In
simple terms, the more people that come into our site and down load the
videos, the more money we needed to pay.
The decision was made to buy
and set up our own servers in Chile just for the videos, since the
Internet connection companies only charge a flat fee for bandwidth usage.
With this, we can put all our videos on our server at the same time and
have hundreds seeing them. We are very thankful for one of our new
financial partners who allowed us to move into this new area.
Family news:

Paul continues to help in the ministry especially in
he production area of his speciality;
filming, writing and editing. He is an expert in doing recordings, DVD
or CD’s. He is my right hand man
in the ministry.
Steve my second son, along with his family are still in the USA and
living near Philadelphia. Steve and his wife Leyna were very happy when
their oldest son, Jordan, celebrated his eleventh birthday and their
other son, Joshua, just turned seven. Steve is the CEO and the brains
behind our web sites.
Mary Jane on Dec. 15, finished her third year in the University and
plans to graduate Dec. 2005. She has just formalized her relationship
with her boy friend of 4 years and they plan to get married in 2006. Her
boy friend is a computer engineer and helps part time in our ministry as
our Web Master.
We praise the Lord that both Lina’s and my mother are well and healthy.
Prayer and Praise:
1. For Lina’s health as she has not felt very well
recently. The doctor has said she has pre-diabetes.
2. We are looking for ways to make the internet ministry
self supporting as everything we have tried up to this moment has not
been successful. Since the ministry has grown so much, we need people to
help out part time and we don’t have the money to do it. Pray with us to
find at least 7 people who could invest $100 per month to help pay for
the 3 part time workers working now in 3 different cities and for two
more needed ones.
We were very thankful for a Chilean company who donated to us 400 master
video tapes. Pray with us as they are thinking about another donation of
1000 tapes. The tapes are not new, but have only been used once. To buy
1400 new video tapes would cost us around $63,000 dollars. We praise the
Lord as this keeps us rolling.

and his wife Ardis, for all their faithful and hard work in the Son of
Man’s Mission for many years.
Thank you for your prayers and love for us. Have a very Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year!
Love,
Jim and Lina
