Here is a prayer letter we received from Jim and Carolyn Fasold, our friends working with the Spanish Bible Institute. It came via email, and I asked (and received) Jim’s permission to repost it here. IBSTE prayer letter 11. (We received this letter just before we learned that Carolyn’s mother died in Puerto Rico.)
