Dear Pastor, Church and Praying Friends,
In December we were privileged to present a drama of the "Three Trees"
in the churches and missions. It was performed by institute students from
every church. We saw many people come to know Christ through this
presentation. It was such a blessing to present the traveling drama in
five different villages. It was especially interesting in Jitzamuri, when
the lights went out just as we began the drama. The truck lights shinning
in the front door gave it an authentic presentation. Above all, we are
thankful for the decisions that were made for Christ.
In the past two months we have seen sixteen people make decisions for Christ in
the works in Cruz Pinta and Higueras. In the village of San Miguel five
people have accepted Christ as their personal Savior. Please continue to
pray for the work here among the Mayos.
We are in the process of putting the roof on the building in Higueras. We are
thankful to Temple Baptist Church in Dumas, TX and Grace Baptist Church in Ft.
Worth for their love offerings, which have helped purchase the materials for the
roof.
We will be starting a new semester in the Bible Institute this February. There
will be three graduating at the end of this semester. Please pray that
these will seek the Lord's will in their lives, so that they may be used in the
work to win their people to the Lord.
At the end of July we will be returning to the states to begin our first
furlough. We are trying to get things in order to leave the works in good
hands. We have a married couple and other institute students who have been
working with us in the missions. We would like to be able to purchase them
a small truck so they will be able to continue the works while we are not here.
If you would like to help in this need it would be a great blessing to the
work among the Mayos.
We greatly appreciate your gifts and cards during the Christmas season. Thank
you for your love and concern for the Mayo people of Mexico.
In Christ,
The Martins
