careth for you." I Peter 5:7
Dear friends in Christ,
Greetings in Jesus' name, which is above all
names. Karen, the children, and I are in the northeastern states
visiting churches to present the ministry. It is the first time we
have traveled since our son Stevie's Homegoing and many things remind us of
him. Thank you for remembering us in prayer.
Update on the need of a vehicle
for Brother Pacheco
$1,700 of the needed $3,000 have been received, and
forwarded. Bro. Pacheco ministers in two different cities, Caucel
and Puerto Progreso.
Tracts, Cassettes, and Videos
In July 2000 we took into Mexico 500,000 tracts,
some cassettes, and videos on the "Life of Christ". These
items are to be distributed by ten churches. Through the efforts of
Brother Frank Woodford of Central Baptist Church in Panama City, Florida
and Worldwide Tract Ministry of Vestavia Hills, Alabama, we have received
an additional 245,000 tracts. These will be taken to churches in
another area during November and December 1999, the Lord willing.

Alfonso Calderon,
Matamoros, Tamaulipas |
| During the Fundamental
Conference held in July 2000, there were 1069 professions of faith and
261 baptisms. The weekly Sunday School attendance is over one
thousand. |
|
Francisco Pat
Coba, Telchaquillo, Yucatan |
| During July of
2000, five persons accepted Christ and two new converts were
baptized. In August 2000, during three days of bible classes, 11
children out of 156 attendees were saved. |
|
Ismael Flores,
San Francisco del Rincon, Guanajuato |
| The house that was rented
to live in has a back area where the services are held. A goodly
number of the church members go out on Thursdays and Saturdays and
purpose to win souls for Christ. |
|
Juan Garcia,
Tanquian Escobedo, San Luis Potosi |
| God's great love for lost
souls has been shown with a revival in the church and with new converts. |
|
Asuncion Lopez,
El Penon, Guanajuato |
| A family who had turned away from the Lord
has returned to the services. Planning is underway for the third
anniversary of the work with a Family conference. |
|
Sergio Navarro, Coxcatlan,
San Luis Potosi |
| He has begun services in yet another
mountain village, La Loma, a municipality of Tancahuitz de Santos.
They visited house-to-house and two persons accepted Christ as Saviour.
Also, fifteen children attended a Bible study. |
|
Felipe Nery Canche Dzul,
Valladolid, Yucatan |
| He rejoices in souls being saved. The
members continue testifying to the lost. |
|
Rodolfo Pacheco, Caucel
and Progreso, Yucatan |
| During June, 2000, several persons came
to Christ and five new converts were baptized. The church is very
motivated in being able to participate in the Lord's work. In July
2000, Brother Pacheco preached an evangelistic campaign for three nights
in the church at Telchaquillo with Brother Francisco Coba. During
the afternoons, the church members would evangelize in town. |
|
Felipe Urquieta, Leon,
Guanajuato |
| He and his wife praise God for the safe
delivery of their baby boy. |
|
Javier Valadez,
Guadalajara, Jalisco |
| He praises God for the souls that were
saved this summer. In one instance, the Lord led them to a woman
who held services in her house. Although she knew very little of
the Bible, she taught what she read. When the plan of salvation
was presented to her, she accepted Jesus as her Saviour. She then
declared that that was what had been missing in her life and began
sharing this message with all whom she met. This resulted in seven
persons and three families attending church. Praise be to God for
saving Sister Piedad (whose name translates "mercy")! |
