Dear Friends in Christ,                                                           November / December 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 while preparing many things for our Christmas party at the Bible Institute, she suffered an injured right foot, partly due to her osteoarthritis, that resulted in a torn tendon and ligaments according to X-rays and a MRI. She has been in a boot and on crutches or in a wheel chair for over seven weeks with very little improvement. Susie will return to the specialist on the 29^th of January.. Please pray for her recovery.

We praise the Lord for His blessings on the ministry in the churches and Bible Institute. The churches are doing well, and have had over 48 souls saved through their evangelistic efforts and visitors to the churches for Christmas celebrations! PTL! Susie’s Christmas Kids in 12 churches received over 500 bags of candy and presents as well as the Bible College students and staff kids!  What a tremendous blessing for them through the help of several contributing churches: Trinity B. C., Big Spring, TX; Bible B. C., Chickasha, OK; Cornerstone B. C., Indianapolis, IN.

We had a wonderful Christmas party and service at our house on the college campus with all of the decorations for the students, staff, and their children to enjoy. For some of these students, this is the only Christmas they have ever had, and it meant a lot to them. Also, the students have done a great job of evangelizing these two months with 26 souls saved!

Thank you all for your faithful prayers and support.

Yours in Christ,

Rick and Susie
