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 us and the work in Mexico.

God continues to bless us in remarkable ways. Our two youngest grandchildren are doing very well after their first two months of life. In the next two months two of our sons (Jeremy and Justin) are moving to Corpus Christi, TX where another son Matthew already lives. WOW! We will soon have three of our four sons living in Southeast Texas. Seven of our eleven grandchildren will be just a few hours away from Monterrey PTL! He sure is good to us.

The Lord is blessing the churches, too. They are growing, winning souls, baptizing, and discipling new believers. More than 25 souls have trusted Christ, and nine have been baptized. The newest work, the Noriega Mission is doing well, and we hope to have a national pastor in January. Please remember Susie’s Christmas Kids Offering for this year. These offerings help buy candy and toys for Christmas for hundreds of poor Mexican children in our churches.

We had a wonderful convocation to kick off the new school year at the Ambassador                                    Baptist Bible College with yours truly preaching to over 150 present. Several former students and other pastors and missionaries were present as well. We have 8 new students this year to add to the student body. PTL! New student enrollment had been down due to violence in our area. This is a sign of parents having more confidence to send their young people to us.       May God bless you.

Yours in Christ,

Rick and Susie    Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.
