Dear friends,
There are lots of exciting things going on in our ministry with Inca Link. One huge praise is that we have permanent house parents for Casa Elizabeth. David and Lucy Noboa and their two children, Alison and Mateo, have been living at Casa Blanca. Casa Blanca is the house where Inca Link hosts retreats and short-term teams. Now they will be moving to Casa Elizabeth to serve in the girls crisis pregnancy home. David is a youth pastor at La Luz church and Lucy has a beautiful heart of service. We are so thankful for this family and wait in expectation of how the Lord will use their family at Casa Elizabeth. Here is a picture of David and Lucy:
Other exciting news: Fabian and Mabe Tamayo will be living on site at Casa Blanca. Fabian will serve as the director of Casa Blanca and manage the property as well as facilitate short term teams and local retreats. Fabian has worked as a youth pastor, so it is great to have another trained pastor working with Inca Link. Mabe serves at Casa Elizabeth and is a wonderful example of a woman who loves and seeks God. We are so thankful for Fabian and Mabe.(pictured below)
We praise God for both of these families!

| Casa Elizabeth | |
We want to share as much information with you as possible about this ministry; however, the reality is our first priority is to protect these young ladies. Some of these girls have been rescued by the police from abusive situations. We want to keep Casa Elizabeth a safe place for the girls and their babies.
Any day one of our moms will be giving birth to her baby. All of the girls have started back to school, and we have the best volunteers who spend time with the girls cooking, making crafts, and teaching life skills. Our family is excited to be a part of this ministry by having the girls over every Monday night for dinner and bible study. We would greatly appreciate your prayers for these beautiful girls and their babies. If you would like to pray specifically for one of these young ladies and her baby, please contact us and we will send you more specific information.

| Leader Mundial | |
|
Casey had an incredible opportunity this month to be a part of the 2011 Leader Mundial Summit. Leader Mundial is an organization that exists to bring leaders from around the world together to receive training, resources, mentoring and community. This year 30 men from 10 countries met together in Ecuador. It was a great experience to talk to national missionaries and business leaders from other parts of the world. Casey roomed with a youth pastor from the Philippines, a Christian radio broadcaster from Tonga and a church planter/evangelist from the Ivory Coast who is now a refugee in Liberia. To hear the perspectives on what God is doing in the world from leaders from the ends of the earth was amazing.

Opci�n de Vida | |
|
Every Tuesday morning Casey goes to Opci�n de Vida, a ministry in the park for street kids. In the mornings it is younger children from ages 3-14 and the afternoons it is young men from ages 15-20. Casey teaches a bible lesson each week to anywhere from 20-40 kids. Some weeks he says it is crowd control and some weeks they have wonderful conversations about the love of Jesus. Here are some of the faces of the kids Casey loves on each week. The morning group is made up of kids who are left home alone while their parents work and a few of these kids call the streets their home. Please pray for these beautiful children.
