The Arthurs have been on Pohnpei running a AM and FM radio station 24 hours a day for 20 years. They have been active on the mission field in several countries for over 40 years, and are looking for a family to come and work with them with the idea of taking over this ministry in the near future. Anyone interested should contact the Mission Office.

We are praising the Lord for 500 desks, chairs, and tables that were donated to the school in Peru by Bob Jones University. We are currently storing these in the States, while we are raising funds to have them shipped to Peru. If you would like to contribute towards the cost of the container, you may send your donations to our mission office. Please label your donation for the "Blumer Chair Project." Pictures are available in the prayer letter titled "January 2011 Special."

We currently have three special projects:
- Church building. The Goierri congregation is meeting in a small rented building in the town of Beasain. We are crammed every Sunday and urgently need a larger place. After years of saving the church has about $47,000 saved up, and we are looking at a building near the main highway. It is for sale but we don't yet know the price. We want to check with the City Hall to see what the possibilities are, if we were able to purchase it, for developing it for the church ministries while simultaneously using it as we can. Then we will check on the price. We are sure it will take a miracle.
- The 8th Missionary Teen Retreat will be held December 1-7th 2011. We usually have between 15-25 teenage missionary kids from different European countries. For many of them the major expense is the transportation costs in flying their kids in. We are grateful to God that every year friends and churches in the States follow His leading to give gifts that help these families cover the airplane tickets. Anyone interested in helping financially with the retreat can contact us by email, or the mission office.
- In the month of September we will also begin the Christmas Gospel Postcard project for the 18 Goierri towns. This project typically costs about $3,500 and allows us to send the Gospel in a unique mailing to over 16,000 homes in our area. The postages costs for the different towns range from about $15-$500.

The airport is in need of renovation in a number of areas:
- We are in need of dismantling two of the three remaining Quonset hangars, and secure the remaining one for storm/wind stresses. If the Lord provides two new Quonset type hangars to replace these, we can remove that third one.

- We are in need of adding a "lean-to" onto our existing maintenance hangar for all the heavy shop equipment.
- We are in need of repainting the maintenance hangar and resealing the roof.
- We are in need of resurfacing the runway.
- We are in need of upgrading our runway lights.
- We are in need of a new hanger.

Support our Orphanage Campaign
Early childhood of our existing orphans & destitute and the incoming ones in June 2011 is the most critical and important development period in life. Basic foundation of regeneration at the age of accountability; cognitive - social - emotional - language - motor development - learning in the local church environment.
We need more help:
- More Dormitories for the added children
- More class room furniture
- More playground equipment
- Quality learning material (i.e. Christian curriculum, at present we are using Bob Jones curriculum in Baptist Academy)
- Nutrias food
- Overall medical care
Present facility accommodates only 50 children, we need more funds to equip the above needs to our needy children. Please pray and participate in this mission.

My current project is raising money for a sandbox roof on the playground. This is the favorite among the kids and it is unusable during the rainy season. With the roof the kids will be able to use it all year round. The cost for the roof is $400.

We currently have two special projects:
- Construction of a young ladies home: this ministry will reach out to the many prostitutes, single mothers (during and after pregnancy), and other young ladies who need special help. Our goals are to win them to Christ, teach them skills for living (reading, writing, cooking, a trade skill such as sewing), and help them to understand God’s purpose for their life. The cost for this endeavor is approximately $100,000.
- Our church work in the town of Grabo needs reconstruction work (new roof and cement walls) done on their building. The project is estimated to cost around $6,000.

Our project is the translation into Spanish of the four-book-set named The Fundamentals (Los Fundamentos). We already have the first book translated, and are beginning the second. We would like to print at least 1,000 copies when it will be finished. We are still working on that. I have formed a translating committee so now there are six people translating. We have no idea of how much it is going to cost, but would like to have funds reserved so once the translation is complete there will be no delays in printing. There is a “Fundamentals Fund” at World Wide.

We are now officially recognized by the Mexican government as a church, which means we can now buy property in the church's name instead of in the name of a member. Having done this, we are in the process of praying about and looking for the perfect property to buy. We're praying for specifics, and trust God will answer according to our desire. We want a property big enough to build a church building with classes for Sunday School, and big enough to have activities outside, in a good location that can be found easily, and with a good parking area. We also trust the Lord will supply the funds to buy the property and build the new church building. Would you please join us in praying for God to answer these major requests, and pray about what He might have you to do to help win souls here in Mexico, by way of contributing to this building project. Thank you for your prayers and support.
