Dear Praying Friends in the PSC and beyond,
Below is part of an update sent on Jan 1, 2010 from David Crum, our RHM who is currently leading (along with Jane) the Team Uruguay group from our Presbytery. The incident occurred on New Year's Eve. Please pray that the Crums and Jake Schroeder will be able to return as scheduled with the rest of the group. Perhaps the embassy can effect an emergency replacement or some sort of arrangement to permit the Crums and Jake to fly home and reenter the US. Pray this can all be done on a compressed time schedule.
We did have an unfortunate incident last night. While all 12 of us were in the Falk's back patio, welcoming the new year singing Scripture songs, someone broke into the Falks house through a window and stole Jane's purse. In it were 5 passports – the Crums and Jake Schroeder's. we were in the police station until 2 am, when the attending officer concluded; "Well, you have the honor of filing the 1st police report of 2010" :-). The Lord is good, all the time, and our fellowship in the Word and prayer was wonderful! Our only prayer request is that the Lord arrange all so that we can make our flight at 4 AM Tuesday morning; perhaps with temporary passports. Of course, everything is closed today so getting information is tough.

David and Jane also sent along the praise items from individual team members for us to join in thanksgiving and praise to God for his care and the spread of the gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Dear Mike, Here are the praise contributions of individual team members. The Lord has blessed our work and kept us safe every day.
Ben: Praise to our almighty father for the opportunities we have to minister to the Falks and assist them in the progress of the gospel in the churches in Rivera.
Emily: Praise the Lord for the fresh memories of the children; that they were able to hide the Word in their hearts; praise for the cheerful service of Kristina and Henry Vega among the children.
Kathleen: Times of singing have been a blessing to the church here, to the Falks, and to our own team, as well as an opportunity to engage passersby.
Jacob: VBS was very successful! It doubled in size and by day 5 we had 55 kids in attendance. Many of the children were very attentive, memorizing several Bible verses and the books of the BIble from Genesis to Apocalipsis.
Jana: Thank God for all the opportunities we've had to share the Gospel with people in the plazas!
Geoff: I am thankful for the opportunity to meet, pray for and encourage the local leadership by helping with their preaching/teaching schedule. What a blessing to serve this uniquely bilingual church and community.
Adrian: Thank God for lavishing his grace on the lives of fellow team members and me and the sweet fellowship we've enjoyed together.
Jane: 55 kids in VBS heard the gospel!! Pray for the salvation of these little ones.
Dave: I praise God for the opportunity to get to know the dear saints here in the Reformed Presbyterian Church and to have a better grasp of the existing work in Uruguay.
