Updates Carlos and Alicia Scott

 Dear Friends

We hope you are well and thank you very much for praying for us

We thank God for this month of August and the opportunities we had to teach in the Perspectives of the World Christian Movement course. We also thank God that we were able to help the OM organization by giving classes in the EXPLORE course.

Carlos continues to write the new devotionals for the year 2023 and we thank God for the devotionals that are being used this year in different countries and regions of Latin America. The devotional book The Spirituality of the Mission had a great impact in the city of Trujillo in Peru and we thank God for everything that Carlos was able to experience when he visited the churches in that city.

This month of September presents new challenges and we must teach in the church planting school the subject on the Holy Spirit and the mission. This school celebrates 20 years of existence and by the grace of God several missionaries, pastors and leaders have gone out to serve in different parts of the world. This school is located in the city of Cordoba in the central region of Argentina. Then Carlos will have to travel to Chile and be teaching in the city of Santiago and then teach in the city of Concepcion.

We ask for your prayers so that God may take care of us on our trips, give us physical, spiritual and emotional health. May God free us from all evil and all temptation. May we remain faithful and carrying out the task with joy and spiritual freshness. Thank you very much for being united in God's mission and working together for the extension of the Kingdom of God. May God be glorified and the people blessed by his love and mercy. We pray for all of you and we love you. With a strong and big hug,

Carlos and Alicia Scott - GloCal Mission
