MISSIONARIES TO OLD MEXICO

November 2006 Newsletter

Dear Praying Friends,

Thank you all so much for your interest, prayers and support for our ministry in Old Mexico.  Ephesians 1:3

FUNDAMENTAL BIBLE BAPTIST INSTITUTE:

Some 30 students started the fall semester.  All classes are in the evening now so more are able to attend.  We are looking for used laptop computers for a class at the Bible Institute.  If you would donate one in working condition please contact us.                                                          

 Pray for the Lord’s guidance and supply to start up a Private Christian School in Sept of 2007.  

We need a government permit for our well on the institute property.  Permits are not being issued anymore and the only way to get one is to purchase it from some one who already has one or have some one donate theirs.   Please pray about this need because with out a permit the government could cap our well.

ORPHANAGE:

The Mexican government recently informed El Camino Baptist Church that they have been approved to receive orphan children from them.  The orphanage, “CASA HOGAR” will take both boys and girls.   To get started CASA HOGAR will be taking kids 4-9 years old, as many as 12 to get started. The folks in the church here are excited about having a part in these precious lives.  Pray that the Lord will supply funds for the help, food and all the other related costs.

PRAISE REPORT

We asked you to pray about making the payments on the new property that was purchased over a year ago.  It was quite difficult for a while.  Thank you for your prayers. The Lord has blessed with the growth and increased offerings of the members of El Camino Baptist Church that they are able to make the $1,250 a month property payment and they are also supporting missions at $1,000 a month.

Thank you for praying for Mary’s fractured foot.  She is doing better and is on her feet again.    

Don and Mary
