Dear Friends in Christ,                                                                January/February 2014

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 praise the Lord for His blessings and protection. Susie has a lump on her left shoulder near her collar bone that is caused by rheumatoid arthritis and not cancer we were relieved to know. I had a good annual checkup and sonogram with the cardiologist and everything is fine.

The Lord blessed these past two months in the churches with over 49 souls saved and 8 baptized! Friend Day in February was a big day for several of the churches who saw many children and several parents trust Jesus for salvation. There are several Kids Clubs going on in church members’ homes meeting on Saturdays to try and reach other families with the Gospel.

Thank you to several of our churches for the Christmas love offerings and cards. We appreciate it very much. We also enjoy the birthday and anniversary cards as well as others that are for no special day but just to let us know that you are praying for us and that we are in your thoughts. God bless you for your time and efforts.

The Ambassador Baptist Bible College is doing well. We have a dedicated group of young people that are a blessing to teach and help prepare for future ministry opportunities. The Lord blessed their evangelistic efforts with 36 souls saved! PTL! They have been working hard trying to keep all the grass cut at the camp and college campus with just one small riding mower and two push mowers that we are constantly repairing. We need a big mower to cut the front 4 acres and a medium size tractor and pull behind mower deck to do the rough back 8 acres. Please pray with us about the $10,000 needed for this equipment.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support. May God bless you.

Yours in Christ,

Rick and Susie
