Brooke

The leaves are already falling to the ground! I wonder if summer passed by as quickly for you as it did for me. I anticipate this harvest season as a holder of gifts unique to the time of year – apple cider, pumpkins, multiple colors in the leaves, hype of corn mazes, and for some, [...]

Adam Thada

Dear family and friends,

It was so wonderful to visit the States and to be reminded of all of you and how so many of you are committed to praying for us. Both the prayer support and the financial support were and continue to be a blessing to us. We appreciated sharing conversation, coffee, and [...]

Brooke’s August Prayer Letter

Brooke

I rediscovered how much I love to sing and be with Jesus through song. Worship and song among community open my heart to God in a different way than when I come to God through personal prayer. I’ve noticed that my mind is limited in words and through song I find new opportunity to position [...]

Jara Sturdivant-Wilson

Dear friends,
This will be a fairly short letter. I’m just a few months from moving from my time at Word Made Flesh.
I have a pressing need at this point. Throughout my time at Word Made Flesh you all have witnessed my struggle with support throughout my five years.
Right now, my [...]

June ‘10 Thada Prayer Letter

12 May 2010
Adam Thada

Dear friends and family,
In Word Made Flesh, we attempt to befriend and walk alongside very broken people who are often excluded from normal society. Normal social rights and services that we take for granted are often denied them. One of the ways their humanity is degraded is through language. Hookers. Glue-sniffers. Street dogs. Indios. One [...]

Dear friends and family,
I (Becky) have started a language exchange group at the institute where we are taking classes. I’m learning Spanish and am paired with Bolivians who are learning English. Currently, it is my girlfriend and I who are the English speakers and two guys, Rene

April ‘10 Thada Prayer Letter

17 March 2010
Adam Thada

Dear friends and family,

“Recuerda que eres polvo, y a polvo volverás.” These are the words Father
Walter used on Ash Wednesday as he smeared an earthen cross on our foreheads. “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” During Lent, we prepare for Pascua (Resurrection Sunday) by humbly recognizing that we [...]
