Dear Friends in Christ, July / August 2018
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 us and the work in Mexico.
Susie and I are doing well and are enjoying many blessings from the Lord. We were able to do a little traveling for a couple of weeks to visit some churches and our grandkids.
They are doing well, and our four-year-old Grandson Sammy recently trusted Christ as his personal Savior! Our oldest Grandson Joshua is getting married! Our oldest Granddaughter Kaitlynn is driving now! They grow up so fast.
The churches are doing well and growing. Over 18 souls have been saved and 6 baptized in the churches. PTL!
Evangelism and leadership training continue in several of the churches and missions through discipleship classes and workshops. They are learning how to win souls, make visits, and do counseling at the altar or in the pews.
Along with the spiritual aspect of the ministry, is the block and mortar part as remodeling continues on the Garcia B. C. and also at the newest work in Cadereyta, the Emanuel B. C. This work is growing well and filling up the renovated house. We are looking for land in order to build a bigger building in the future. Please pray with us about this vision.
The Bible College campus is quiet right now as everyone is on summer break, but we along with the staff and teachers are preparing for another school year. There are staff and teachers’ meetings, preparing the dorms, bathrooms, and kitchen facilities, painting, repairing plumbing, and organizing all of the books and syllabi for three levels of teaching.
Thank you all, and God bless you. Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.
Staff and Teachers’ Meeting
Yours in Christ,
Rick and Susie
