Dear Friends in Christ,
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3
Camargo: The Iglesia Bíblica Bautista spent most of January preparing for a very busy February. Of course we continued with evangelization efforts, door knocking, visits, etc.!
Those who made a profession of faith and continue attending some services are Eliel and Edgar, a couple of teen boys, Rubén y Cecilia whose kids had been coming to the Bible clubs, and Cristina who thought she was saved! Pray for Rubén who is battling with an addiction.
The first weekend of February we hosted a State-wide Youth Conference. There were about 160 in attendance, with the theme: “A Man after God’s Own Heart”.
Please pray for the upcoming youth conference May 6 & 7, in Parral Chihuahua.
We had our Faith Promise mission conference the third week of February, with the new promise at double what the church had been giving! Praise the Lord!!
Arturo: Arturo is out of our church, and is to graduate from the Bible institute with Missionaries Nelson and Micah Dorr, in Navojoa, Sonora this May. We are praying the Lord would show him where He would have Arturo to serve next.
Transition: Since we started the Bible Baptist church, we have prayed for the Mexican pastor that should take the church, and for it to be indigenous. It looks like my present assistant, Jorge Orozco is who the Lord would have to be that pastor. Lord willing, we’ll be working to make the transition this year. Please pray for wisdom, direction and God’s timing.
Furlough: After our Mission Conference in Camargo, I came to the U.S. on a two month furlough. It’s been great to report back to several churches in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Nebraska, and be in some missions conferences.
Manos a la Obra: The new ministry, “Hands to the Work” continues to be a blessing to Mexican churches and pastors. Near the end of my furlough, I’m going to Colorado to pick up some church pews and some other things for a church in Chihuahua City.
Please pray I can find a good truck to be able to pick up and transport all of the pianos, pews, etc. to Mexico. Also pray I can sell my Expedition in Mexico to help pay for it.
A church is helping me get a bigger, enclosed trailer to protect what we haul, and to be able to take a lot more to Mexico each trip. Praise the Lord!
Please let me know if someone wants to donate pianos, tables, chairs, pews, pulpits, etc.
Praise: Souls saved, for God’s grace; Good youth and mission conferences & Faith Promise doubled; Safety and good furlough; Enclosed trailer
Prayer: Souls to be saved; Rubén-addiction; Teen Conference; Arturo, graduation and service; Turn Church over; Youth Conference May 6&7; Truck, sell Expedition; and supplies
