Dear Friends in Christ,                                                             January / February 2018

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.

Susie and I are doing well and are enjoying many blessings from the Lord in our ministry and family. We are finally over the flue and doctor visits for now.

The churches are doing well and growing. Several churches celebrated Friend Day. Hundreds of invitations were hand delivered to friends, family and neighbors. Special services were planned based on God’s love, friendship and salvation along with  banquets and fellowship. The children received small tokens of love and candy along with Bible teaching about God’s love for them. Over 28 souls have been saved through the churches. PTL!

The Bible College students won 31 souls to Christ during their evangelistic efforts! And a big thank you to Trinity B.C. in Big Spring, TX and Trinity B.C. in Berryville, AR for special offerings to cover scholarships for two of our married couples at the Bible Institute.

Also, a dear friend’s help made it possible for us to send all of our students and their children on the annual missions trip in February to Fresnillo, Zacatecas.

We had to get the vans serviced, 2 new tires, the trailer repaired, and funds for fuel and food for 5 days. Our students preached and sang at the conference and 12 were saved! Quite a trip! God bless.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.

Yours in Christ,

Rick and Susie
