September 2009

Dear Friends, 

          Wow, I made it through the summer without dehydrating! The rains of September have brought relief to any whose wells and rivers were dry. I was a bit concerned about my health when after downing a liter of water I felt as dry and thirsty as before. This summer's electric bill ran high through the constant opening of the refrigerator door and from the almost 24 hour use of the fans. The cooler temperature and rains have helped the mosquito to breed bringing the danger of the dengue fever. There have been a few more confirmed cases of the swine flu, one of those being a young boy from our church. There is concern from the student body and faculty of the area schools. If a child presents any symptoms he or she is either sent home or not received in school until checked by a doctor. Please continue in prayer for God's protection and for the healing of this boy.

          The summer drought has brought much fruit in the Lord's field as we have seen new additions to the church. The re-organizations of the Sunday School and Bus Routes have been a major factor in this growth. Many of the church members have become involved in a bus route bringing these visitors to church.

          Many of you may remember from my DVD video presentation that right before closing I mentioned the Mexican families surrendering to go as missionaries abroad. One of these families is already on the field in the land of China . The Martinez Family, since their arrival on the field, have been through trials such as surgery on two of it's members, paperwork difficulties, economic need and even physical danger. This is a somewhat restricted area as far as getting the Gospel out. Bro. Juan (John) does not complain but asks for God's people to under gird them in prayer.

          May the Lord grant you the resources needed to remain faithful to your mission commitment as I know is your desire and the confidence in his provision.

Through His Grace,

Your Missionary to Mexico
