JUNE 2004 REPORT

       Two missionary wives and two ladies from the States helped Mary prepare the food for the 110 teens and counselors who attended camp during Easter vacation. All were campers from our own churches, and for the first time the pastors organized and executed the entire program.
    About ten years ago it was our privilege to motivate Doblado to begin an institute in his church. One result is two of his graduates who pastor new churches. He recently asked us to motivate him to reinitiate the classes.
    A pastor in San Pedro Sula invited me to preach, "To motivate my people to enroll in the classes." In another church thirteen adults responded to the invitation when we presented the need of formal institute study.
     The new institute in Puerto Cortes has 30 students. In Campechuela and Las Tunas, Cuba, there are 55 students enrolled.
    The services in Ojojona have become steadier under the leadership of Jason Tate, a young missionary working with our ministry. He also teaches in their institute and is using our videotapes to begin classes in two churches in the Department of Paraíso.
    Three surrendered for baptism in a joint service we preached in Ojojona. The congregation in Tamara baptized two in their first baptism, and celebrated their first Lord's Supper. Pray for the men in two areas of the country who are making preparations to begin services in two new communities.
     Since we have been preaching in Santa Catarina the attendance has been steady, and six have been baptized. Attendance in San Jose is low. Pray for a national pastor for these congregations.
     On May 23rd we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with a baptismal service involving three churches. There were 18 baptized, and I won a soul to Christ who attended to witness his grown son's baptism.
