Church Registration

Yesterday the doorbell rang and it was someone with our church registration in hand! We have been in the process for over 2 years and Praise the LORD we now have the state registration. The next step is they will take it to Mexico City to get it approved. Then we will be completely recognized and legal here in Mexico to operate as an Independent Baptist Church.

Thank you for praying!

Lazaro Saved

Last night a young man named Lazaro was saved. He has been coming to services with his aunt for some time now. With a name like that- you have to think about how God is the only one who can give life, physical, or spiritual. We are glad this young man has been taken out of darkness and brought into the light of Jesus Christ!

Marco's Eye

Marco has been having headaches for about 10 days, his vision is blurry and he is "seeing double". We went to 2 different doctors and they say something is wrong with a nerve near his eye. All the tests they have done come out fine and so now the next step is to get an MRI to see if there is a tumor. If not, he just needs some exercises to strengthen those nerves. Please pray for him, mostly as it is difficult to read and study. Thank you.

Flooding in Chiapas

Brother Ciro's home/church property has a small creek on 2 sides of it. For the last 2 years this creek has risen so high in the rainy season,it has come into their house. They are now making plans to build on a higher plot of land. Please pray for them and if you can help in any way let us know. Thank you.

Candelaria's Blessing

Pastor Nacho has started a church in Limbano Blandin, Tabasco. One of the young women who was saved there is married now and here in the church in Cancun. Recently she gave thanks to the Lord that He sent Pastor Nacho to that small town to share the gospel, so she could hear and believe. The Lord has also given her a godly husband and now they both are part of the Cancun church.

Thank you for your support and prayers to the end that the Word of the LORD would run and be glorified.

News

School is back in swing here in Cancun and some kids have the afternoon shift that finishes up anywhere from 5- 8 PM depending on the school and grade you are in. Please pray for students to be like Daniel, no matter where they are, and purpose in their hearts not to defile themselves with the things of this world and also to be a positive testimony for Jesus Christ.

Please pray for Marco to have strength and wisdom for his work here, that that we would walk worth of this ministry and see people reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.

Please pray for Brother Ciro and his family there in Chiapas. They have rented another house in town that is higher since the river that runs behind/around 2 sides of their house has risen from the rain waters.

Brother Nacho was able to put down a cement slab behind their house which may be used at some point for the children's class during church services. They are very thankful the LORD has provided for it.

Thank you for your prayers for all of us here.

Christian and Candelaria Wedding- Limbano Blandin, Tabasco

On our way back to Cancun, we stopped by Brother Nacho's church in Limbano, Tabasco and celebrated the wedding of his son Christian to Candelaria. They are living in Cancun now and we are so thankful to have them here with us.

Back Home Again!

Praise the LORD, we drove all the way through Mexico and arrived safely home again after a 2 month furlough in the southeastern USA! Brother Raul, Tomas, Vicente and their families welcomed us with a clean house and meal of carne asada. We are thankful for their faithfulness while we were gone and their love for the Lord Jesus Christ and the families in the church.

Thank you to you who prayed for us on our travels and especially this last long drive through Mexico.

Thank you to all you who hosted us in your homes and churches as well. We certainly received much more than we deserve. Thank you for your kindnesses to us and love for the Lord.

Dothan, Alabama

We are on a 2 month furlough in the southeast visiting some of the churches that support us. We are in Dothan, Alabama this weekend and thankful the LORD has brought us this far. We have enjoyed seeing people and places we hadn't seen before or at least in 5 years.

One of the blessings is that between churches we are staying with Marco's son and daughter-in-law and their 3 children in Easley, SC. That has been a delight! Having the 1 yr old stretch out his little hands to Grandpa's cheeks and give him a smile! It is mazing how such a simple act makes you feel like a million dollars!

This is Asher who is 3!

This is Kaiden who will be 2 on Marco's birthday- July 8!

The smallest one is Tre, he just turned 1!
