DON AND MAY ROWLAND
MISSIONARIES TO OLD MEXICO
MAY 2008
Dear
Praying Friends,
Thank
you for faithful prayers in
response to our News Letters,
reports and petitions. We
thank the Lord
for blessing us with health and supply for the ministry here in Mexico.
Ephesians 1:7
EL CAMINO BAPTIST CHURCH
Pastor Walker reports that the attendance is running over
400 and the church can not seat everyone.
People are being seated outside and others stand during the
services. The church is a
40’ x 60’ building. Please
pray about plans to expand the building 80 more feet in width.
FUNDAMENTAL BIBLE BAPTIST INSTITUTE
We are looking forward to
our Bible Institute’s graduation on Saturday June 7. There will be two graduates this year. We are encouraged by the 28 students we have in our sophomore
and junior classes plus the new freshman class in the fall.
The institute is a tremendous tool for duplicating the ministry of
your missionaries and achieving our goal of training nationals for
ministry as Pastors, missionaries and evangelists.
ORPHANAGE “CASA HOGAR”
All the materials purchased in February have been used.
The brother who supplied these materials has given us time to pay
with no interest charge. We
thank the Lord that little by little He is supplying for these materials. A
special thanks to our home church, The Grace Baptist Church, Pompano
Beach, FL for supplying most of the cost of roofing materials.
The children are flourishing in their new environment.
Continue to pray for them that they will continue in healing of
past abuse and abandonment as they are now loved and accepted.
Pray for the salvation of those who have not yet received Jesus
into their hearts.
Remember
The New Highway Tax?
In April, 2008 the
government finally notified property owners along the new highway corridor
of the highway tax they are responsible for.
The tax levied on the property is 30% of the property value payable
in one year. The penalty for
non compliance will be confiscation of 30% of the property. We
are not able to pay this amount in a year, but the Lord is able to supply
the need and the answer. We
rest in Him as His Perfect Will is being accomplished. We have seen His
miraculous supply of every need during the lifetime of this ministry.
Pray with us for God’s wisdom for the answer concerning this
highway tax.
In
Jesus’ Name
Don and
Mary
