What is up with the Quirings?

Hi all,
It's been awhile since the last post, but as you saw from the previous message we've been busy. Not a good excuse, but a reason nonetheless.

We've been in important meetings planning what is going on at El Camino and with TEAM Peru. Keep us in your prayers as there have been many changes and will be many more in '08. We're very excited about how things are going.

Another thing: our main sending church, Cornerstone Bible Church in Steinbach has a new pastor. Jared Hiebert has been working for a few months as an interim pastor and was just confirmed as the new senior pastor. Looking forward to working with you, Jared!

We've officially launched our high school and college youth groups on Saturday. The whole ministry is called "Generación Cristiana", which is Spanish for Christian Generation. We have over 30 active members, although some are in the U.S. on an exchange program and will be back in a couple of weeks. Pray for this important part of El Camino.

Along with the start of Christian Generation, we also announced the launching of the El Camino Youth Cafe, which many of you are involved through your gifts. Lord-willing the first week-end of May we'll launch the Cafe. El Camino's leadership has really taken to the idea and we look forward to see how God will touch people's lives through it.

Bibles: Prices have risen sharply for Bibles, so we decided instead of buying them in Canada and shipping them to Peru, we'd simply buy them in Peru. Good plan! The Bibles here are finally cheaper, so we're able to buy a good number and will be distributing them this week. Thanks to all who have been a part of our Bible distribution project.

School: Kayla, Brandon and Elizabeth are back in classes. Fun times getting up at 6:15Am. Pray with them as they get back into the routine.

Thanks for everything and we look forward to hearing from you.
