Valentine's Day

We praise the Lord for the way He continues to bless the ministry in Guadalajara. Yesterday, at least 82 deaf showed up for our party commemorating Valentine's Day. There was at least one who asked Christ to save them, Carmen's mother. She has been in poor health and yet made the effort to come to the special day. She is at least 80, but felt she still had never really understood salvation. We are thankful that Ann was able to help her yesterday to understand the importance of taking care of her salvation immediately.
We had two brand new deaf who came and many returning again after earlier visits. We are so thankful for the large number of younger people who are now attending. We have a good group of teens and a very healthy group of 20-30 year olds. They have gotten saved and now as young adults, are excited to see the church move forward. They have immediately moved in to become the movers and shakers in the aspect of every Sunday's necessary planning, execution and clean-up.
We have received permission to take our wrecked truck to the border to find the parts necessary to repair it. That puts a chink in our armor as far as plans, but it beats waiting here for an estimated two months to receive the parts.
We thank you so much for your support, both prayer and financial. Keep checking here and we will try our best to keep you updated regularly.

Dear Praying Friends,      You have been praying, haven't you? FIRST, Ann's bogus account was fixed, so there should be no more problems there. I don't do Facebook, but Cheyenne took care of it for us.      Yesterday was the test day for the whole church. Armando returned from Monterrey on Friday, so I scheduled a meeting with him on Saturday. The results of that will be explained in a minute.      Yesterday was also the day that our ex-deacon was to return with all the deaf he "won to Christ." It turned out that they had led 1 deaf person to the Lord. All of the rest (30-35) were people they took out of our deaf church.      Armando preached the regular service and ended the service without saying anything about his status. After the service was over, he asked if he could talk to the members. Amazingly, all non-members moved outside without a murmur. He began by explaining that he was totally in charge of t...

  March/April, 2024   O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.     Isaiah 25:1   Dear Praying Friends,             Our God is so faithful and His counsels are always right. God has blessed us and the services and travels that we have made. It blesses us to see how God is still working in America, even though many appear to have turned their back on Him. HE still is faithful and never changes.             Recently, Gary’s closest friend, brother in the Lord and hunting buddy, Wendell Drake, passed away. Many times, we would arise early to hunt, eat breakfast, and then sit at the table sharing Bible verses or questions until afternoon. Thank you for those who responded that they were praying. Pray for the family as they adjust ...
