Dear Friends,

           This is always an exciting time of the year. We are planning and preparing everything for our Vacation Bible School, which will be held during the last week of July. Much hard work is required to have a successful VBS, and the Lord always blesses our efforts in a wonderful way. Our theme for this year is "Trusting God". We have some good lessons and activities planned. Please pray that the Lord will bless our Vacation Bible School. Every year we have been able to reach new children and families through our VBS ministry. The children at the church really look forward to VBS. It is a very special time for them. We hope to have a good time with the kids as we sing, do crafts and other activities, but our main goal is to see many boys and girls come to know Christ as Saviour.
          We are seeing some good progress at La Iglesia Bautista El Bethel. Bro. Alfonso Escobar is now leading the music and playing the guitar for the Sunday services. He is the brother of our pastor, Bro. Jorge Escobar. Bro. Alfonso preached one Sunday when Jorge was ill, and he did a very good job. He believes that God has called him into the ministry. Please pray that God will use him in a great way.
          The attendance at the church has been very good during the past couple of months. Pastor Jorge changed the time of the Sunday services, and it seems to be working well. God has been good. The people seem to be growing spiritually, and one lady was saved recently.
          Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support. You make it possible for us to serve the Lord in Mexico. May God bless you for being our co-laborers. We appreciate you!

In Christ,  
Gary & Monnie
