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
Missions Conferences: In April I had the privilege to preach in Missions conferences in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.
High School Reunion: It was good to reconnect with some that I graduated with 50 years ago in Akron, Colorado. That Sunday, Bro. Mike Young, a longtime friend, invited me to teach Sunday School and present the “Hands to the Work” ministry at the Bible Baptist Church in Yuma, CO.
In-laws: James and Madelyn Carroll had a huge part in directing my future in ministry; as we worked several years with them. My Father-in-law went to be with the Lord in December 2024, then my Mother-in-law in May 2025. They ran their race well, and are missed!
San Luis Potosí: The first week of June, My pastor, Michael Scott, went with me to take pews, a pulpit, doors, windows and other materials to 4 churches, 3 of them to the Tenec and Nahuactl native peoples in the jungles of the state of San Luis, Potosí. On the way back to the border he preached with a translator in Anáhuac and Camargo, in the state of Chihuahua. It was a great trip of 3,700 miles in 8 days, with no problems!
Wedding: On June 28, Bonnie Woolsey and I were married at the Fundamental Bible Baptist Church outside of Summersville, MO, by Bro. Bob Reagan, her pastor and a longtime friend of mine. We were thankful for our kids, grandkids, several family members and friends who attended!
Health: I just had a follow-up appointment with my cardiologist to review a CT scan of my heart done in May. The aortic valve is compromised, with the ascending aorta measuring 4.7 cm. The doctor thinks he should install an aortic valve, but insurance won’t cover it until the aorta measures 5 cm. I’m scheduled for an angiogram to measure the blood flow and rule out blockages.
Praise: Safety traveling; Opportunities to preach; 2 new supporting churches; 3 of my class of high school graduates also saved since graduating; In-laws are home; Great trip to Mexico; My wife, Bonnie and our new life!
Prayer: Souls to be saved by this ministry; Angiogram, heart valve; Ministry & Mexico trips
