II Timothy 1:6 says, “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.” I pray you are doing well when you receive this prayer letter. My family and I are doing well, and we greatly appreciate your prayers and faithful support throughout the years. I’m so thrilled to report that we ended the year strong, and we are off to a good start.
Our Christmas and New Year’s services were very well attended. We had a lot of visitors, and souls were saved. I always make sure that the Gospel is presented and an invitation is given in every service. During the services, men like Robert, Hiram, and Rafael, along with two other couples, raised their hands for salvation and were sweetly saved.
Recently, my flight was delayed, and I arrived to Puerto Rico early Sunday morning. I almost did not make it to our service in Humacao, which starts at 9:00 a.m. Midway through the preaching, a man by the name of Miguel Angel walked into the church and sat in the back, listening very intently to the Word of God. I gave the invitation, and Miguel put his trust and faith in Jesus Christ. Had I not gone to church, I would have missed that great blessing.
During the month of January, we had Pastor Tim Carpenter from Wisconsin visit us with several folks from his church. We had a Basketball Camp and Teen Mania. A lot of invitations were given out, and many John and Romans were distributed. The activities were well attended, and I’m thankful for fruit that remains.
