I'm currently back in Thailand in the middle of a 11-day quarantine. While here I must take 2 covid tests. I'm set to head to my apartment on the May 6th.

Pray for us as we prepare to leave the USA for Cusco Peru in June 2021. Peru currently has one of the highest mortality rates for COVID-19 in the world.

Please pray for friends who work at a local coffee shop. Pray for open doors for spiritual conversation and open hearts to seek Jesus.

Please pray for our ministry center neighbors who make daily offerings at the spirit house behind their restaurant. Pray they will want to know the living God.

Please pray for an older friend who has been studying the Bible. Pray she will have a miraculous encounter with Jesus and follow Him wholeheartedly!

"The plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.” Ps. 33:11 Praise God with us: *Max, with Sylvia, is developing a program called Theological English to assist our graduates who plan to move forward for doctoral studies that require English. *Some countries where we teach are opening up for in-person classes; online classes continue for those countries still closed to travel. Please pray with us: *That all the details and preparations needed for our time in the Northwest will be completed as God leads. *For appointments with churches and pastors in the Northwest as we plan our visit there, God-willing, from mid-July through late November 2021. (Pastors, please contact us to set a date at max.rivera@agmd.org. We look forward to participating in missions conventions, worship services, prayer meetings, Christian Education classes, or any other ways to minister, to people of all ages, in person or virtually.) Thank you! "El consejo de Jehová permanecerá para siempre; los pensamientos de su corazón por todas las generaciones.” Salmo 33:11 Alaba al Señor con nosotros: *Max, con Sylvia, están desarrollando un programa que se llama Inglés Teológico para ayudar a nuestros graduados que están planificando avanzar para estudios doctorales y que requieren inglés. *Algunos países donde enseñamos están abriéndose para clases presenciales; las clases en línea continúan para los países que todavía están cerrados. Por favor, ore con nosotros: *Que los detalles y preparativos necesarios se lleven a cabo dirigido por Dios para nuestro tiempo en el Noroeste. *Por citas con iglesias y pastores en el Noroeste mientras planificamos nuestra visita desde el 11 de julio hasta el fin de noviembre del 2021, si El Señor nos permite.

God has allowed us to help a few people step into their own calling as missionaries in the past 8 months. Please pray for them as they are just starting on their journey. Pray for them to have tenacity, determination, perseverance and above all Unwavering Faith!
