HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Can you believe you and I have made it through 2023 and the Lord has given us an opportunity to begin to see what He will do in 2024.?
CITY OF REFUGE:
It has been a long road at getting this ready. I just learned that our paperwork with the government should be ready by the end of February. All I can say is all praise to the Lord. Thank you everyone for your prayers and continued support. We are at 99% completed and Lord willing in March or April we begin operation at the Family Crisis center. Again, thank you for sticking with us through this time. I can honestly say the Lord taught me many lessons and I continue to realize His timing is perfect.

CHURCH PLANTS:
Our Operation Compassion was a great success. Not only were we able to give the children here a special Christmas, but we were able to Share the Goodnews with over 30,000 people. It is exciting that the Lord would allow us to share His Word with so many. It would have taken us several years to reach that many people personally. Please pray for fruit that remains. Only Heaven will reveal what the Lord did during this time. The church in San Ignacio is continuing to go forward by the Grace of God. We are seeing the people grow as the Lord continues to work in their hearts and lives. We see them not only growing spiritually but applying to their every day lives. We try and do a church wide outreach every other month, but they are witnessing to people every day and that’s exciting to me knowing they don’t just do it an hour every week but every day as they come into contact with people. Please continue to pray as many new visitors are coming and we have people professing Christ on a regular basis.
SCRIPTURE DELIVERY:
2024 is already starting out quickly. Over 100,000 pieces of Scripture has been delivered in 4 different states of Mexico so far. Our goal is to personally meet those who are getting this literature and be an influence and build friendships. We have made some great friends that will never be know by the world but have committed their lives to Christ no matter the cost. What a great privilege to labor for the Lord with some of His choicest servants. Thanks so much for all you do. Right now, we have NT waiting to be picked up and delivered for Mexico. If you would like to help, please let us know. Again, please make it a matter of prayer we desperately need whole bibles for those here who don’t have one.

ODDS & ENDS: Please continue to pray with us for co-laborers here in Mexico. I know there is nothing more satisfying knowing you are doing something with your life that has eternal rewards. We are planning to be in the United Staes for the month of May. If you would like us to stop by, please let us know as soon as possible. It would be a great privilege.
Lastly, I want to say from us to You THANK YOU. I don’t know why the Lord chooses to use us in any capacity we are humbled and encouraged knowing You Gods people are always praying for us. I don’t think many know how encouraging that is when times get difficult. Remember no matter what, God is on the throne and in control, so keep looking up.
