Dear Friends in Christ, January / February 2015
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 seeing many blessings in the churches and Bible Institute. We have had a lot of rain for this time of the year, and the roads here are full of pot holes and mud. We received a great report on our 7 month old grandson James (with spina bifida). He is developing normally, and his brain and motor skills are excellent. Right now his calf muscles are weak, and he will need to wear braces from his feet to the upper part of the calf muscles when he is going to be standing, but he will be able to walk! PTL!
The Lord is blessing the churches, too. Friend Day was celebrated in several churches, and more than 44 souls have trusted Christ! PTL! And several new families have joined. There are more than 30 believers being disciple in the Trinity, Beacon, and García churches alone, and many others in the other churches as well. A married couple from our 2012 graduating class has a growing church in Cadereyta just 12 miles north of the Bible College and youth camp. In one year they have out grown there small building and are making plans to build on the lot next to their current building. Please pray for this work, the Mt. Sion Baptist Church.
The Ambassador Baptist Bible College is doing well, and we have a great group of dedicated students. They just returned from their missions trip to Zacatecas the end of February where they promoted the college and presented evangelistic skits to a group of over 50 pastors. Through their soul winning efforts these two months, 51 souls trusted Christ! PTL!
God bless you all.
Yours in Christ,
Rick and Susie Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.
