I pray this prayer letter finds you doing well and in the center of God’s Will. We have been watching the Lord work mightily in many battles that we have been facing. No matter what happens it’s great comfort knowing that the Lord is in control.
OPERATION COMPASSION 2024
First of all, we want to thank everyone who has already partnered with us this year in helping us to purchase the backpacks, toys, and New Testaments and gospel tracts. As many of you already know our goal this year is 15,000 backpacks, 75,000 toys, 15,000 New Testaments and 15,000 Tracts. all I can say is whew! that’s a lot. This seems impossible but GOD!
He has bought us a great organization that has a burden to help others Hand 2 Hand, and they are helping us to get these backpacks and toys at a very big discount. Chick Tracts has very graciously donated the tracts, and Bible & Literature Missionary Foundation and Pastor Tim Gibson have supplied us with the New Testaments. It amazes me how God has worked this out.
Every year people ask how we are going to accomplish this. all I can reply with is God is going to have to do it. What I find out is He does it in the most unlikely ways. Let me just share one instance. I was contacted by my Pastor Bro. Fellure about a young boy in our church named Worner he got excited and God touched his heart to help. He made little cross necklaces and sold them for $2 apiece. His goal is $1,000 and as of this writing, he has raised over $800. I could write pages upon pages of all the Vacation Bible schools, Churches, and individuals that God has touched the hearts of to help spread the Gospel here in Mexico through our Christmas outreach in the month of December. I want you to know we don’t take these sacrifices lightly. It is very humbling to see God work through His people to reach those here in Mexico.
We have received as of this writing about half of what is needed to reach the goal this year. Would you pray with us that the rest will come in by the middle of October? The only way this will happen is But God! we need about 25 churches/individuals/businesses that could give $1,000 or more. Please pray earnestly with us for this great need.
We have found over the years that each backpack represents 3 people who will be in our special services to hear the gospel being presented. That is an opportunity to reach 45,000 or more people just in the month of December.
Again thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your sacrificial giving to be a blessing to others and to help change lives for eternity.
