Foreign Trip to Trujillo, Peru July 2011

Missionary Carlos Angulo

I know I haven't posted in a very long time, but honestly it is so much easier to post on Facebook and upload more pictures at once. So I am going to at least try and post here monthly and use it more like a Journal.

The highlight of our year 2011 would have to have been our First Foreign Trip to Trujillo, Peru

An experience we will never forget.

God has truly blessed us with a wonderful year. We have made new lifetime friends, but better yet we have been able to serve him at many churches this year. In between projects we have been running home,to hear preachers preach in view of call as our church called a new Pastor this year(Thank you Lord.)
Bro. Tim Chambers is our new Pastor and moved on the field the beginning of October. We are thrilled to have Bro. Tim, Sharnell, Brandon, Mary, Adam, Samantha and Will Chambers here in our home church FMBC Redlands.

This is our church, and we are very proud to be members of it. Please pray for us as we seek a new pastor. This is where we will be working for a couple of weeks. Before Chapel Builders arrived, Scott Kallner and helpers

started painting the woodwork on the church building.

The building in the center and to the left was a Chapel Builders project which Bro. Howard Frakes led out in over 20 years ago.

A new coat of paint now Gray with green trim, formerly a steel blue.

This garden has been here awhile, but I can't look at this picture without remembering a very faithful Charter member who always kept the flower beds looking wonderful.

This is Sis. Lois Green's Memorial Garden.

This is our Sanctuary. Scott Kallner (our Nephew) and his helpers will be starting to paint the entire inside toward the end of the project.

*Look for pictures after the painting and remodeling is done

This cross is very special.

How can you look at any cross and not remember what the Lord has done for you?

December, 2009
Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings and by the time you read this it will be a new year, so Happy New Year! What will 2010 bring? Will this be the year the Lord comes back? Are you ready? Have you shared Jesus with everyone you could in preparation for the Lord's return?In December our pastor, Bro. Lonnie Wiggins, retired. God bless and keep you, Bro Wiggins. Please pray for our church as we seek the Lord's will in calling men to preach in view of call.
In 2009, we were so blessed by getting to meet many new people, as we have traveled across the country building new church buildings, adding on new additions and remodeling older church buildings. Also Parsonages and Pastor's homes were worked on. Churches we worked on in 2009 out of the state of California were,Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Mississippi,Louisiana, Kentucky and Oregon. In California, we worked at Camp Metoche, Manteca, Keyes, Santa Paula, Visalia, Modesto, Arroyo Grande, La Habra, Banning, Hemet and Barstow. Many more churches are on our list to work on this next year. We are so honored to be able to help in any way we can with our churches. We will be working close to home in Jan and February while Richard is working on a few projects in Idaho and Belize. Thank you for all you do, to help us meet the needs of our ABA churches.
Your Mission Builders, John and Esther Thiem

Month of September

2009-09-30T17:56:00.000-07:00

Hello, hope you are all doing well. Just wanted to update you on what we have been doing in September. We left Hood River, Oregon the end of August. After spending a week's vacation coming down the Oregon coastline, we headed to the Madera, Ca area to help a friend on their remodel for a couple of days. We then went to Visalia, Ca so John and Stan Carney along with a few from the Visalia church could wire up Rv plugs at the church and also work on their sound system. We then headed over to Arroyo Grande, where we met Richard. Richard and John then proceeded to install and rewire most of the lighting in the Sanctuary. John also wired a programmable lighting box for them. We spent a week there and then came on to the Lahabra church to remodel the Bathrooms in the parsonage. John and Richard have spent a week and a half working on this and will try and finish one of the two bathrooms. Will have to finish the other bathroom later. Pray for us as we all fly next week to Somerset, Kentucky to work on another Macedonian project. We will be there two weeks. November brings us lining up three churches in Southern California to work on. Hemet, Banning and Barstow will be those projects in the month of November. It is nice to be able to help all our Lord's churches. There are many more churches on the List. They are waiting for scheduling and trying to raise the monies needed to complete their projects.

2009-08-20T22:55:00.000-07:00

On a project there is lot's fun, Food and fellowship. We ended today eating, of course. Much was accomplished today. The trusses are done, the roofing completely removed from one complete side. The new part of the roof has been tied into the old. The plywood has been laid on almost all of one side. It is starting to cool down some, so with some cooler weather, the guys can get a lot further. The wind is blowing pretty hard gusts, so pray that the weather will cooperate.The electrical has been started inside also, which is easier without roofing, insulation, etc in the way. Like I said before, the first picture is the end of the day. Progression is going backwards in pictures.

Jay says, yum, Fried chicken(Baptist Bird) Fried Okra,

Tomatoe Gravy and rice(something new to me) Frog eyed Salad ?(It was delicious) and lot's of desserts! The ladies from the church make the best pies. Blackberry, Marionberry,blueberry,Peach, apple or pear apple. They have the best fruit around.
