Dear Friends in Christ,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We thank the Lord for you and deeply appreciate your faithful prayers and financial support for the work in Mexico.

Susie and I are doing well and traveling a lot on furlough. The Lord has blessed us as we visit some of our supporting churches and renew old friendships. He has blessed us with a few “new” churches that have taken us on for prayer and financial support.

In spite of the violence in our area of Monterrey, the churches continue to reach out to the communities even in some of the more dangerous neighborhoods. There have been 24 saved in several of the churches! Many of these new converts are being discipled. The Trinity B. C. celebrated its 25^th year with 10 new visitors and 4 saved! The Beacon B. C. is preparing for their annual Missions Conference and anniversary in November. Other churches  are having special meetings as well, and two other churches are enlarging their facilities.

The Bible College is off to a good start with six new students. We were expecting 12 to 15, but some parents were afraid to send them because of the dangers near our campus. Our students have won 103 people to Christ these two months! Also, a new mission work has been started at the college campus with 15 adults and a number of children. Please continue to pray for the churches, the Bible College, and for the work in general.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.

Yours in Christ,

Rick and Susie
