With a heart full of gratitude, thank you for praying and giving to help Rebecca and me fulfill God’s will. It’s hard to believe I just turned 50 this past January! I surrendered my life to God 33 years ago, which was one of the best decisions of my life! Please pray that God would give me a greater vision to grow our capacity to plant more churches.

February brought about our annual Missions Conference, where we raised our Faith Promise for the year 2025. We also enjoyed holding an ordination service for Bro. Joel and Bro. Rodrigo. Please pray that God would wonderfully bless these young zealous soldiers in the faith.

At the beginning of March, our family arrived in the U.S. for a furlough through November 2025. If you are interested in a visit, you can contact me at (669) 258-7157. Please pray for our safety and that God would powerfully use our family to encourage, strengthen, and challenge churches for the cause of Christ!

We found two pieces of property for our church in Santa Cruz! Each property is 3,280 square feet, and each one is asking US$150,000. They both already have water, electricity, and plumbing. Our desire is to establish this church permanently. Please help us pray that the Lord would provide the money to buy property and build a building to develop our model church.

Please also pray for a 4×4 vehicle to help us storm the gates of Hell with the Gospel! God has put on my heart the desire to travel around Bolivia to preach, get people saved and baptized, and search for opportunities to plant churches. A 4×4 is indispensable for this type of ministry.

On furlough, we are driving a 2003 Toyota Camry, and we just broke 230,000 miles. Although we recently changed the transmission, the timing belt, and several other parts, we are still having problems. It’s time for an upgrade! Please pray that God would provide a newer Toyota Sienna van that would give us space to homeschool while traveling and possibly even sleep in at times when necessary.

While I am traveling, the ministries of our church in Bolivia continue on. They are having big days, winning souls, and baptizing! The pictures to the right are of Bro. Rodrigo (above) and Bro. Joel (below with his new bride Judith). Each of them had just baptized their converts for the first time. Please pray that this church continues growing to give us more disciples to help duplicate this ministry in other parts of Bolivia.

I count it a pleasure to serve together with you in the trenches of God’s will. Stay faithful and encouraged, “for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.”
