Dear Friends in Christ,

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. It would be much more difficult without your sacrifice.

Susie and I are doing well in our travels on furlough. We did our annual physicals, and all is well. PTL! The dangers continue with more killings and kidnappings every day. Our Bible College was attacked when two armed gunmen shot their way onto the property and tried to kidnap one married student and rob others. They fled when our students armed with 2x4s and machetes approached them. The invaders were captured a couple of days later.

But on a much more positive note, several of the churches celebrated Children’s Day on April 29^th. Some had inflatables and piñatas, even getting permission to close the street to have more room for the crowds. Over 400 children and adults were present with 125 children and 18 adults being saved! Also, Mother’s Day was celebrated in the churches on May 10^th. Many visitors were
present and over 15 ladies were saved!

On May 11^th we graduated 12 students with over 500 people present at the Ambassador Baptist Bible College! That is a tremendous crowd when you consider the dangers that exist in our area.
PTL, for the dedicated and fearless Christians that refuse to stay home because of the dangers.
Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.

Yours in Christ,
Rick and Susie
