Dear friends we are praying the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 brings God’s blessings on your lives and work. We have caught some kind of crud and have been down for several weeks. We are now on the mend and praise the Lord we will be at 100% before long. Thank you for your continued prayers.
SCRIPTURE DELIVERY:
Our Scripture delivery ended with 6.5 million pieces of Scripture delivered throughout Mexico and beyond in 2024. We are very grateful for the different printing ministries that helped supply the material to reach people for Christ.
God is opening many new doors and we are praying that we will be able to walk through them this year. Just recently we were able to receive 12 pallets of whole Bibles from BLMF. Brother Shawn Cuthbertson helped to coordinate this load and raised the funds to have them shipped to the border. We have an open door to possibly send 1 million pieces of Scripture to Ecuador this year. Please pray with us about this tremendous opportunity as we are coordinating with our good friend Tim Gibson and their printing ministry.
Please continue to pray with us as we are always in need of whole bibles. These are pretty hard to get and we have been raising money for the last couple of years to be able to purchase these out of Brownsville Texas. We can get these at a cheaper rate if we buy in bulk $2-$3 a piece. if you would prayerfully consider helping us with this in 2025 it would be greatly appreciated. We also have the opportunity to purchase 150,000 New Testaments for approximately $1-$1.50 apiece. We are very grateful to the ministries across the country who donate the John/Romans, Tracts, and doctrinal literature.
Remember if we are to change the World it must be through the Lord and His Word. We have learned over the years that The Word Of God will do the Work Of God.

Was a great success. We could not do it without the help of God’s people. Your sacrificial giving and prayers always make this a great Success. Though we had a few hiccups this year from areas being unstable or other issues, God opened many new doors and gave us the opportunity to share the gospel in new towns and villages. We were able to share the gospel not only with children but also with leaders and police departments.
As this continues to grow we want to also say a big thank you to the Hand to Hand Foundation for partnering with us. They have been a great blessing in helping us get the gifts and backpacks at a rate that allows us to do more. Again, we want to say a big thank you.
God also opened the door to partner with a church in Matamoras Mexico this year. They were able to have a special service share the gospel and give away 500 backpacks. Please continue to pray with us as God is opening more doors. https://youtu.be/8iKcCkz6ut8?si=NyfaVVpRvYiRgv1Y

HELP!!!:
*1. Are you a mechanic? could you come to Mexico for a short time and help work on some of our vehicles? You would be a great blessing.
2. Is the Lord calling you to be a missionary in the Spanish-speaking world? Come down get your feet wet and help as you immerse yourself into the culture and language. You will already be prepared to go and serve wherever the Lord may send you.
3. Maybe help us get the word out for Operation Compassion 2025.
4. Will you help us this year to raise funds for Scripture?
5. Most importantly please pray for us and the ministry by name daily. We covet your prayers.
May the Lord truly bless you until next time,
