SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER – 2019
Dear Friends in Christ, September / October 2019
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 but suffering a little with the aches and pains of arthritis. Susie was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in her left and right shoulders. She has had a lot of discomfort from time to time but was given an injection in her right shoulder and is doing much better. The doctor will check her knees soon since she has trouble walking.
We praise the Lord for His blessings on the ministry in the churches and the Bible Institute. The churches are doing well, and have had more than 34 souls saved through their evangelistic efforts with at least 5 baptized! PTL! Thousands of flyers have been handed out in several communities resulting in some of these conversions to Christ. Others have been saved in the churches.
We had a wonderful service in the chapel to open the new school year at the Bible Institute and Seminary. It was full with people standing outside by the windows and doors. The students have done a great job of evangelizing these two months with 87 saved! Our goal is to disciple them and get them into local area churches.
Please remember Susie’s Christmas Kids Offering to help 500-600 kids with candy and gifts for the churches and Bible Institute kids! We have only received $400 so far, and hopefully more will come in.
Thank you all for your faithful prayers and support.
Yours in Christ,
Rick and Susie
