    The Breyer Bulletin-Serving the Master in Tenjo, Colombia-

    Flexabilidad = FlexibilityWhen ministry is growing the enemy gets

    moving said a veteran missionary. Weve been

    experiencing this truth on many different levels in the

    last few months. In January our American neighbor

    started making problems for us and we were unable to

    live in peace in the housing complex we shared with

    him. After not being able to appease him nor find any

    other housing nearby we decided to move out to camp.

    We have been living in one of the cabins now for just

    over a month. Adequate housing for rent in the area isvery difficult to come by. We think we have found a new

    house to rent and will hopefully be moving yet again in a

    week or two.

    We have each had a turn dealing with

    discouragement and frustration. We have seen God work

    and his timing has been impeccable as people send notes

    or reach out and encourage us. Ive said more than once

    lately that when my ministry cup feels totally empty God

    seems to be filling it up just in time.

    One recent blessing was having a work team from

    Appalachian Bible College come down. Among the team

    were some camping professionals that helped not just

    with work projects but with the strategy of the camp and

    helped tweak some of the functions.

    Please keep us in your prayers. We have seen

    the ministry of the church, the camp, and especially

    the youth group make great strides, which can only

    mean one thing; the enemy is going to keep working

    hard as well.

    Adventure Day 2014Having seen the need to offer new activities that are a little more

    extreme we decided to try something new. In January we

    hosted an adventure Day at the camp. We had 4 stations with

    different adventure elements. The requirement to come was that

    the church youth had to bring a visitor. Expecting 100-120 we had

    to shift it into high gear when 160 showed up! Half way through

    we stopped and had an evangelistic challenge at each station. Igot to teach one group about the impossibility of living without

    sin and the consequences it brings. I had two youth accept Christ

    in my station and heard of 9 more that made professions in the

    other stations.

    Family lifeAs Nate mentioned above, our family is in yet another funky transition with

    housing. At first I was very angry and asked God why He keeps us in these

    times of limbo. Of course I knew the answer: He wants me dependent on

    Him while He molds me into Christs image. We counted and realized from

    the time we started raising support full-time weve not been able to stay ina house for more than 10 months.

    Please Pray For our next move to be our last move for our family before furlough.

    The youth group to keep growing and the teens to keep maturing

    spiritually.

    Oscar, Jose, and Kata, as we disciple them weekly to grow into Godly

    leaders.

    The upstairs chapel to be finished before camps start back up in a few

    months.

    Our boys to continue knowing God and our family to be a lighthouse in

    the community.

    Keep in touch.

    We would love to hear from you.Please take just a fewminutes and let us know how you are doing and how we cando our part in praying for you!

    The Breyers

    On the fun side, the boys LOVE living

    out at camp. They are able to walk out

    the front door and go play! They ate up

    al the attention they could get while

    the ABC group was here. The group was

    such an encouragement to our whole

    family! !
