MISSIONARIES TO OLD MEXICO
AUGUST 2006 NEWSLETTER

Dear Praying Friends,

Thank you all so much for your interest, prayers and support for our ministry in Old Mexico.   We pray that God will bless you abundantly for your faithfulness.  Ephesians 1:3

FUNDAMENTAL BIBLE BAPTIST INSTITUTE:

We attended our institute’s eighth graduation service in June.  Eleven students, 2 ladies and 9 young men, graduated upon completing their four year course of study.  In addition to their classes these students were required to be involved weekly in local church ministry.  Door to door soul winning, teaching Sunday school and the young men participating in preaching services.   Please pray for these new graduates as they labor in our Lord’s ministry in Old Mexico.  Counting this group we have graduated over 50 since our first graduation in 1999.  Thirty of them are Pastors, Missionaries, Assistant Pastors and other full time ministry.

This September the institute will begin evening classes.  There are many who desire to attend a Bible School but because of family obligations must work a full time job.  Pray that this new area of ministry will be successful.  This will also free up some of the facilitates for use in a Christian school starting September 2007 as the Lord Leads and supplies.

ORPHANAGE:

The orphanage, “Niños del Camino”, is still in the process of receiving approval from the Federal Government.  All the exams and requirements have been met but must wait on the government to grant permission.  

FURLOUGH:

We have been blessed many times over in the churches we have visited with our ministry report and update. We appreciate so much your faithfulness to the Lord on our behalf in the ministry He has called us to.  Please continue in your prayers for our furlough ministry and traveling safety.   Thank you.

Don and Mary
