Dear Pastors, Churches and Friends,

April 1, 2018 (Feb. & Mar. ’18)

I trust you all had a good Resurrection Day today.  We did and we had some trust the risen Savior for salvation today.  For the last two months we have been working very hard to clean, paint, repair, and upgrade the large house we now have for our church.  We have a bookstore in one of the rooms where we are able to provide good additional material at cost for our people.  We had our first baby dedication last month after a father got saved and wanted God to help him lead his family biblically.  Apart from today, we have seen many saved and baptized since our last printable prayer letter sent in February.  We recently held a program for our church on personal evangelism that lasted several weeks.  Mary has begun music lessons for some of our church members which will be for the purpose of our church orchestra.  We also started a special Wednesday night program for children which is similar to Patch the Pirate and teaches biblical character traits in Spanish.  I helped train a man named Raymundo who has recently begun as my assistant.

We had several churches, families, and individuals donate clothes and send it to the border for us to give to the poor here. We made two trips to the border in December to pick up clothing and still have to make one more trip this Spring for the last batch. Our church people were so glad to get some nice things. We also used some of it for a big outreach last month on Día de Reyes/King’s Day in recognition of when the wise men brought gifts to Jesus. This is the day that many, who can, exchange gifts. We had several saved at church during this outreach. We received new puppets that we used for the first time on this day. We plan to use the last batch of clothes … Read More »
