 Psalm13:5-6: “But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.”

Dear Prayer Partners,

          How true this verse is for us!  Templo Batista held their 1^st Faith Promise Mission Conference in November. Our people surprised even me. We have been able to take on two mission projects with a third very soon.  And our tithes have also increased and all the people are rejoicing in the LORD!

          Debi was in the hospital for five days with pneumonia and we desire your continued prayers for her as she is still recovering from this with exams the end of this week to check to see if the entire lung is clean. I, for one, am so glad she is back as she has a ladies class and kids classes. They miss her if not there!

          Our Easter was full with services on Friday and two special Sunday services. They were such blessings to each of us! Our SAVIOR was glorified.

          We are always so saddened to see in our area how people worship the buried JESUS and keep Good Friday but Easter and the Risen SAVIOR means so little and it is business as usual.  This Risen SAVIOR is our Message.

          Thanks for YOUR faithfulness to our ministry here and your PRAYERS.

Yours, because we are HIS,

Bro. Phil and Debi
