Hello friends! August went by quickly for many reasons. We came back to IL after being in Guatemala the previous month. Then we turned around to head to MI for a week and a half. While we were in MI, the three of us participated in the wedding of two of our best friends, met with churches who are planning to support us, and reconnected a little bit with some friends and family. We came back to IL, planning to dive back into our church activities here. Caitlin was able to attend a ladies bible study, before the family came down with the flu for the last two weeks, Kaylee having the worst case of it and ending up in the hospital. God is good, and He got her the care she needed, and the three of us have been slowly recovering. Next month we plan to contact more people. God willing we can move to Guatemala in a couple months. |

Encounter Update: -The school has been very happy with all of the technology updates Bradley was able to start while we were there. They sent out pics to all the parents showing different tech he updated or fixed, that students were able to use at the same time. They can’t wait for him to come back long-term. -Caitlin is about to start creating more curriculum for the next quarter, with the intent to have the next 8 weeks updated by their start in Oct. Getting sick put her a bit behind. -God is continuing to bless our students with a strong start to the year. It’s cool knowing games and curriculum Caitlin made are being used, even though they were created from a distance. |

Prayer Requests: -Praise that we were able to give in-person updates to our supporting churches in MI. -Pray that we can raise enough money to head back out into the field soon, and that people we know can refer us to friends who might be able to support us. -Praise God's provision and that He healed us from this bout of the flu. -Pray that God will open doors in unexpected ways and that we will stay encouraged rather than daunted as we finish raising support. |

¡Hola! Greetings from Bradley and Caitlin Webb!
Our exciting missionary journey has already begun, and we are so excited to share with you about what God has enabled!
We officially received an acceptance letter to work with Encounter: Equipping in Ministry, the school that is our place of service! Our school is located in Antigua, Guatemala!
We have finished all the paperwork for RCE International, who is our sending organization! They will help us manage all of our financial and communication obligations. They will receive all of our monetary donations, and will then be able to properly provide tax receipts for donors. RCE also provides training when necessary, and other individual needs, like spiritual counseling.
The two teachers currently at Encounter provide a Christian education for kindergarteners up through seniors in high school, in one building. The students who attend are missionary children, whose parents' mission work is within an hour’s drive from the school. The teachers are following a designed curriculum, and cover different areas based on their strengths, etc. When we work there, we will help divvy up the work so they don’t have as large of a load to handle. Caitlin would be helping more with the younger children’s teaching courses, while Bradley is likely going to work with the older students more. Our responsibilities and lessons will become more specified as we draw closer to their fall start in 2025.
We are currently in the middle of our fundraising journey, with the goal to raise enough to move to Guatemala in March of 2025. We only have 11 months until we move! While we are not yet in the field we are meeting with people and churches to talk in person, asking for prayer and support. We are also practicing Spanish using Duolingo. Once in Antigua, we will attend Spanish language classes and cultural courses, to help us better understand the language and culture in person. We will also be looking into semi-permanent to permanent housing options in those first few months in Guatemala.
We look forward to seeing how God provides, and how He impacts this journey for everyone involved; whether us and our future co-workers, the children in our future care, our family, and how He impacts anyone who feels led to support us in any way!
We hope you enjoyed this first newsletter from us!
Blessings to all, and may the glory be to God.
Sincerely,
Bradley and Caitlin Webb
