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, and we are thankful for the three souls saved, 10 baptized/joined, and 131 for special prayer in the churches while on furlough in the U.S. We need your help more than ever to help keep things going in troubled Mexico.

On January 31, we received some sad news from our staff in Mexico of the murder of John and Wanda Casias, Missionaries to Mexico. We have known them for over 30 years and have students from their church at our Bible College. They lived 10-15 miles from our home in Allende and have a strong church in Cercado. Please pray for their family and church. To quote Dr. Henry Morris III,

“God will not forsake His beloved saints. They may seem forgotten for a season, but they are never out of His sight.”

God is still saving people in Mexico. The churches report more than 20 trusting Christ! The Garcia church expansion continues, and we hope to organize it this summer.

Pray for Estella our Dean of girls. She is 68 and has diabetes. Recently she had to have all five toes on her left foot amputated. She is in a lot of discomfort but recovering well. We are so thankful for our dedicated students and staff of the Bible College who have won 59 souls to the Lord! The new mission meeting at the college chapel is doing well and growing. Please continue to pray for the churches, Bible College and the work in general.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.

Yours in Christ,

Rick and Susie
