Dear Friends in Christ,
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Hebrews 6:10
Hands to the Work: In July and August we made trips to Eufala OK, Argoni KS, Kansas City KS, Tulsa OK, to pick up pews, pianos, pulpits, tables, etc.
In September we made a 3,230 mile trip to North Carolina, to bring a load of 103 windows, 42 doors and other things, from Bro Kevin Langley and Tim Shepherd, to take to Mexican churches. We visited Bonnie’s family in Missouri en route. After NC, we went down to Bonne’s house in Alabama and picked up some things there. Leaving Alabama, we went to Gulfport, MS to the Beams ministry that gave us 10 cases of Spanish Bibles.
Bible Baptist Church in Carthage, MO donated a van that we need to get to El Paso, so the Mexican Missionary, who works with indigenous peoples in Durango, can import it.
Western Mexico: We are now making a trip to the states of Sonora and Sinaloa to take 5 tons of pews, pulpits, doors, windows, Bibles, tracts, building supplies and 2 pianos to 6 churches. We plan to leave October 14th , then on our way up out of Mexico, the 25th and 26th, I’ll be preaching the 13th anniversary services of the Bible Baptist Church the last church we started, in Camargo, Chihuahua. Please pray for all the logistics, safety, and for Bonnie on this 16 day trip, her first trip to Mexico with the Hands do the Work ministry. She has already been and is going to be a huge asset in organizing the warehouse, the loading of trailers and the trips. Of course, the biggest blessing is have a lady to love, who loves God and me! The endless miles and days aren’t lonely anymore!
Churches Starting: Each of the 2 churches we started are working to start a church in towns about 45 minutes from them! What a blessing to have a part in this labour of love!
Health: I had an angiogram of my heart and down into my legs to check for blockages and restricted blood flow. It appears there are a few arteries partially blocked, but the cardiologist didn’t seem concerned, because they are secondary arteries. I have an appointment in December to determine if the only medicine that I take, is necessary. From there, it looks like they will do annual check-ups, unless I would have any symptoms that would indicate a problem.
Praise: Bonnie, the blessing she is to me; Supplies for MX churches; Safety in our travels; Opportunities to share the ministry and preach in churches on our trips; Good health
Prayer: Trips to MX & securing materials; To find a warehouse central in MX; Safety; Bonnie on trips; Trip to Sonora, Sinaloa & Chihuahua; Van to El Paso; Souls to be saved!
