Dear Friends in Christ,
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 1 Corinthians 3:8
Furlough: I had a great 2 month furlough! It is good to be home after 7,845 miles!
It saw my four kids, and fourteen grandkids, a couple days here and there!!
I reported to the last church on May 1, and crossed the border into Mexico, May 3!
I brought down and we delivered pews for a church in Chihuahua City, a baby grand piano and stackable chairs for the first church we started in Anáhuac Chihuahua, and 22 boxes of girl’s school uniforms to a children’s home in Navojoa, Sonora!
Praise the Lord for those churches and individuals who donated all these items! They are truly a blessing to the work of the Lord here in Mexico!
Teens: We took 8 teens to Parral, Chihuahua to a state-wide teen conference. We dealt with the theme of “Love in Relationships”. Teens need to know what real love is, to be able to experience the love of Christ and have a right love relationship with the opposite sex!
Arturo: We went to the graduation of Arturo from the Bible Institute in Navojoa. He came back back with us to Camargo for a one year internship. We’re praying it will be a productive year for our church, and for Arturo to know the Lord’s will for his future.
Guaymas, Sonora: We took advantage of the trip to Sonora to take 6 doors from the US, and 20 church benches that a church here in Chihuahua had donated, to a church in Guaymas. Pastor Bernardino who was run over by a hit and run driver two years ago, is walking with difficulty, building the church and church building!
Hands to the work: Please pray I can sell my Expedition in Mexico and buy a good truck in the U. S. to transport materials to churches in Mexico.
I need to get it before September, to be able to nationalize it at very little cost. Three churches have given money toward a truck. If a few more churches could help, with what I have saved, and the sale of the Expedition, I should be able to get a good, reliable truck!
While in Sonora, I learned that some of the churches are copying tracts as well as scripture portions and other materials, on a copier. If you know of other ministries who provide Spanish Bibles, hymnals, tracts, etc., please email me their information! I’d like to be able to partner with them to get God’s Word into these needy areas!
Transition: We have prayed since we started the Bible Baptist church here in Camargo Chihuahua, for the Mexican pastor that should take the church, for it to be indigenous. The church and my present assistant, Jorge Orozco are praying to confirm the Lord’s will for him to be that pastor, or that the Lord would send someone else!
Praise: Souls saved; Great, safe furlough; Provision of materials; Safe trip to Arturo’s graduation; Doors, benches & uniforms delivered
Prayer: Souls saved, baptized; Right pastor for the church in Camargo; Arturo’s service
Wisdom, discernment and provision for a good truck, to sell the Expedition
