My wife and I want to say thank you so much for all your love, prayers, support, cards, e-mails, gifts, and other acts of kindness this past year. Only Heaven will truly reward you for all you have done to help us reach precious souls with the Gospel. We are truly blessed and so grateful for all your generosity.
The Lord has been blessing in a powerful way. In Guadalajara we did several evangelistic rallies, with around 1,600 people saved. To God be all the glory! Later in Ciudad Victoria, we did evangelistic Bible Clubs in several different parts of the city, and Pastor Sanchez told me that we preached the Gospel to over 2,000 people, with about 720 people accepting Christ as their Saviour. Then in Saltillo in a one-day meeting, we had about 150 precious souls saved. Oh, my friends, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Jesus said, “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” So please continue to pray with us fervently that God would raise up around 300 fiery evangelists to preach Christ to the multitudes, help build and start churches, raise up more full-time servants, and train churches to be more effective soul winners for the glory of Christ.
Speaking of the harvest being plenteous, around Christmas we did a campaign in Villahermosa, Tabasco, called “Fiesta Navideña,” which means something like “Christmas Celebration.” We were able to set up a mechanical bull with several other inflatable games, as well as give out special Christmas gifts. The Lord blessed with over 2,000 people hearing the Gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ, and a great number believed.
Wow! Truly the fields are white unto harvest! Oh, there is so much more that could be said, but we just wanted to say thank you so much for all your love, prayers, and support that are helping us to reach precious souls for Christ. We could not do what we are doing without precious folks like you. Please pray that God would use us in a greater way to see more souls saved for the glory and honor of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Yours for souls,
