God has been tremendously good to us by giving us 9 new supporting churches sending monthly support in the month of February. In addition to God, I have to give honor to Sandra, without whom I could not have done any of this. As of the end of February, we have been in 109 different churches across 21 different states. To date, she has done all of the driving while I am in the passenger seat on the laptop or phone trying to book meetings, secure prophet’s chambers, feeding our youngest son Alex a bottle, or getting some other work done. I have so much to be truly grateful to our Saviour for, but my beautiful and hardworking wife is just under salvation and life on that list.
Carina, Barrett, and Henry were with me while out soul winning at an apartment complex in Del Rio, Texas. A 15-year-old young man named Ricardo answered one of the doors, and I was able to strike up a conversation with him. During our time together, I was able to lead him to the Lord. Ricardo’s mom was asleep; however, I was able to speak with his 19-year-old sister Valarie afterwards and see her trust Christ as well. Valarie stated that she didn’t have a car, so I informed her of the bus ministry of Victory Baptist Church of Del Rio and left the family with tracts, while also sending their contact information to the church.
Lastly, I made a doctor’s appointment after experiencing pain off and on since December and was diagnosed with a hernia. Surgery has been scheduled for April 15. Since starting deputation, by God’s grace, we have not had to cancel or reschedule any meetings, and it is my sincere desire to keep that streak going. So, if you could, please pray for no complications with my surgery and my recovery, as well as our collective continued health and safety as we travel. We would all be very thankful.
Working hard to bring fruit to your account,
Jeremy, Sandra, Carina, Barrett, Henry, & Alex Barker
