Dear Friends in Christ,
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58
Iglesia Bíblica Bautista, Camargo: We are still trying to encourage our people to get back in, and trying to reach new people as well! We continue visiting, but it seems people are more reluctant than ever to allow us to talk them, with the quarantine, masks, etc.
We had a couple’s banquet and invited two other churches, for a total of 16 couples. Our teens served, and it was a good time to celebrate God’s plan of marriage!
Saturday Bible Clubs still haven’t recovered, but we’re back up to 55 kids. Thank you to the churches that sent prizes, school supplies, personal hygiene items, etc. They are a huge blessing! We are visiting and promoting for the kids clubs. Hopefully we’ll have a good base to build on for VBS in August! We pray many of these kids and their families will be saved!
Our Missions Conference had to be reschedule from January to April. We are praying for a good response, as our Faith Promise is barely fulfilling our present missionary commitments!
The first of January I brought a load of tables and chairs etc. A week later three teen boys and I went to San Luis Potosí, 14 hours away, to help a missionary our church supports, put a roof on their church building. We made some visits and I preached on Sunday. A couple of families that I met the last time I was there, committed to getting back in, and faithful!
A day after getting home from S.L.P., I flew to Lancaster, California to attend the funeral of Marty Collins. It was a blessing to see how the Hispanic church loved her and Bro. Jerry!
Three churches helped get ready, import, license, etc., 2 church vans a church in MO had donated! One is for our church, and the other for the church in Anáhuac! What a blessing!
New Ministry: The Lord has given me another ministry of helping Mexican churches get chairs, church pews, tables, doors, windows, pianos, etc. American churches donate, or we purchase good used equipment and supplies. I pick them up and bring them to Mexico.
If you know of others in the U.S. who have similar ministries, I’d like to know of them! Eduardo pastors the Precious Seed Baptist Church in Anáhuac, Chihuahua that we started almost 23 years ago. He overhauls and tunes pianos, and wants to help churches get a piano. I bring them down, he reconditions them, and I can take them to churches.
I need to pick up some pews in Colorado for a church in Chihuahua City, but I don’t have a full load yet! If you know of things churches might need, please e mail me.
There’s always a need for chairs, pews and tables, etc.! Older washing machines, working or not, are also in demand. We need a double industrial kitchen sink and stainless steel tables.
Jovanni: One of our teens, 15 Year old Jovanni is still fighting for his life. He has Aplastic Anemia, so his bone marrow doesn’t produce new blood cells. He depends on blood and platelet transfusions, and praise the Lord, several people have donated! They think his marrow is responding to the medicines he is receiving. Please pray for him and his mom!
Praise: Couple’s banquet; Kid’s clubs and regular attendances recouping; Provision for vans
Prayer: Souls saved & baptized; Missions conference in April, Faith Promise commitments; New helps ministry, supplies; Jovanni’s health
In His Service,
