Updates Carlos and Alicia Scott

Dear Friends,

We thank God for their lives and for walking together so that his name may be known and glorified, the ethnic groups may be blessed and we may continue to spread the Kingdom of God.

These months of July and August we continue to share the biblical perspective of the course Perspectives of the world Christian movement. By the grace of God we are reaching students, professionals, leaders and pastors in South America (Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Uruguay, etc.), Central America and the Caribbean.

Keep praying for us so that God gives us freshness by sharing his word, frees us from all evil and temptation, and strengthens us in our inner being and takes care of our health.

We love you and pray for you. God continues to open paths and we trust him.

Whit a strong and big hug,

Carlos and Alicia Scott
