~ Making disciples in the city of Maguey, Jalisco Mexico ~ August, 2023 Update Write to:danifontanez@gmail.com

~ Separated to the work in Ecuador, South America ~ Hello Friends and Family, I have given up on numbering these updates, as it is just too hard to keep track. Then there is the problem of people being added to my mailing list and they feel left out, because they didn’t receive #1 or 2, etc. So just plain ole’ generic “update” it shall be! First, I want to say that Clara has a blog called “Life on the Line.” She has stories, pictures, and interesting stuff to say from her perspective. She even let me be a guest … Read more

~ Serving in Ecuador; South America ~ Dear everybody reading this, (we had a hard time thinking how to start this;)  We hope your noses are clear and your toenails are trimmed. :0 We’ll start with a little follow up from our last email. We had a sweet time with Mama and Victoria, and the last week they were here, we made a trip to Toñampare after some transportation difficulties… Long story short, our canoe man didn’t show up, so we bumpily drove back home and flew in the next day. It was a long-term vision finally realized to be at … Read more

~ Serving in Ecuador; South America ~ Hello everyone!  Thank you so much for all of your prayers since our last update! God used my swollen lymph node to force us into a season of rest that we didn’t realize how much we needed. I was in so much pain that I finally went to the emergency room. The only thing they could do was prescribe rest and give me steroids to open my airway that was starting to get closed off from the swelling. The Booher’s kindly took Lyda and her mom into their home, took responsibility for the … Read more

~ Separated to the work in Columbia; South America ~ Dear Friends and Family,  Hello to you all from the beautiful Pacific Coast! We are having a remarkably cool and breezy day today (less sweat in the keyboard – always a good thing), and without a lot happening after a busy week so it seemed like a good time to try to catch up on some communication. It is hard to believe that it has been over a month since I last wrote and it is now April so I guess we’ll call this the March/April letter instead of the … Read more

~ Itinerant ministry worldwide; Discipleship; Tribal work in Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Burkina Faso ~ Greetings all, Sharon and I arrived in Abidjan. We will be visiting Ed Enns during our stay here and start our flight home Sunday. We give the Lord glory for allowing us to accomplish the tasks we hoped to do. We were able to get over 20 tons of corn and rice to various Churches in the area, restock the school lunch programs and help with the widows and villagers needs. When things go well it’s because members of Christ’s body are all participating. Thank … Read more

~ Serving in Loreto, Zacatecas ~ BALL BEARINGS Dear brothers in Christ, As you probably know, our plans to go to Ecuador fell through since there were so many visitors already with Jesse. Instead of leaving the 14th (of November) for Ecuador, we left the 15th for Zapotitlan, Puebla. We spent only a week there with the brethren as we had Lupita and Feilynn with us, and they had to get back to work. We were able to spend quality time with each of the brethren anyway. Since our return from there I have been busy with several studies a … Read more

~ Teaching and preaching in the USA and abroad; Conference speaker; Literature; Instructor and director of the SFMI Training Program ~ Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Our ministry here in Bend doesn’t seem to change too much. We are faithful to serve in the church with eldership responsibilities and to take part in the teaching ministry. We also continue to do street evangelism in downtown Bend almost every weekend. It is a time of much sowing without seeing much fruit of the harvest. We pray that others will be reaping a harvest from the … Read more
