----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Fellow Redeemed,
Greetings in the name of the Lord! The Summer season is now
drawing to a close and many people are getting geared up for the
new school year. One of our nieces is now settled in to start her
freshman year of college. It seems like she was starting
Kindergarten just last year. How the time flies!
At the beginning of these month, Ruth Paredes, the daughter
of Dr. Jaime Paredes died of cancer. She was 18 years of age and
was studying law. Dr. Paredes serves the Lord as the national
director of our 'Christ For All The Nations' radio program here
in Venczuela. The funeral liturgy was conducted by pastor
Gerardo Hands and the sermon was preached by Dr. Paredes
himself. Remember the Paredes family in your prayers as they
recover from the loss of their daughter.
Yesterday we traveled to Barquisimeto where the national
youth encounter is taking place. Lutheran youth from all parts
of Venezuela are participating. We thank God for the fellowship
that they are all experiencing at this event!
The new semester of our seminary by extension program will
be starting on the 1st of September. Dan will be teaching in 4
different regions of Venezuela this semester. The courses that
he will be teaching are: The Lutheran Confessions, Liturgy, The
Life and Times of St. Paul, Evangelism, and Law and Gospel. This
semester will be a busy one but we give thanks to God for the
opportunity to train so many national workers.
At the present time the construction company is in the
process of building the new fence.
The foundation has been put in and the columns should be up
within a couple of weeks. Progress is slow but sure!
Anna will be starting her nursery school on the 18th of
September. She is very excited and can't wait for that first
day! We rejoice that another step has been accomplished in her
adoption process. At the present time, the judges are on
vacation but we will be talking to the judge in the latter half
of September. Hopefully, we will be seeing the light at the end
of the tunnel soon!
We give thanks for :
* The national youth encounter that is taking place in
Barquisimeto.
* The regional women's encounter that will commence this
coming weekend.
* New national workers that are in formation.
* Colegio La Concordia in Caracas, as the newly elected
officers assume their responsibilities.
* The progress that has been made in Anna's adoption progress.
* The wedding of Alvaro Fehr and Raquel Kempff that took
place on the 5th of August. (Raquel is the daughter of our
missionary coordinator, Marcos Kempff.)
We pray for:
* The new semester of our theological studies institute.
* Our seminaries in the U. S. as they get ready for Fall
semester.
* New national pastors that are in formation.
* Evangelistic efforts in Valencia.
* The Paredes family, as they mourn the loss of their sister
and daughter.
Soli Deo Gloria
Dan, Kathy, and Anna Conrad

The CLIMB e-letter brings you unedited, uncut reports directly from the
mission field, whether in South America, Africa, Europe, inner-city,
rural, or collegiate America, or military installations and battle sites
around the world. It is our contention that those who truly hold to the
~Book of Concord~ as the pure exposition of Holy Scripture and the true
confession of the Christian faith are also the most zealous supporters of
the preaching of the Gospel in every corner of the world and, as such,
ought to be kept thoroughly informed of how those endeavors are faring
and
shown how they may be rightly carried out without the destruction of
orthodox doctrine and practice that some within the pale of Lutheranism
now advocate.
