Welcome! Here you will find all of my prayer letters written ever since I started the ministry as a Missionary to Honduras, and then as I now am as a Missionary to the Spanish-Speaking People of the Americas. We hope to update this with our current prayer letter that we send out every two months.

February 2000

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

            The month of February has been an interesting one.   I’ve been encouraged, I’ve had my faith strengthed, and I’ve seen God’s hand at work in getting me closer to Honduras.  He’s also given me somethings I can use when I get there. 
            But February has also brought some news that turned my once heartfelt sorrow into gladness.  As most of you know, my uncle was shot and killed in the Dominican Republic in the summer of ‘98 while I was in Honduras.  He was saved, and a Christian, but my family and I hadn’t heard from him much in over 10 years.  We weren’t sure how he was or what he was doing.  My main concern was that he was living for Christ and witnessing.
            Since he died, we tried to get the story of what happened, but calling down there was expensive, and when someone did call us, they didn’t know much, or we got conflicting stories.  We had just pretty much forgotten about it until the first of February when I received a phone call from a man named Donald Dacosta.  He told me that he was an old sailor friend of my uncle’s, and that he had just heard about what happened.  He was heartbroken and almost in tears as he offered his condolances.  I told him I was going to south Florida the middle of February for some meetings and asked if I could stop by and meet him, and talk with him.  My intention was to witness to him.  It turns out he almost started witnessing to me!
            When I arrived at his home, he invited me inside and told me countless stories about my uncle Doug and how and where they met.  He said Doug was always talking about the Lord, and telling everyone he could about Jesus Christ.  I asked him if he had ever been saved, and he said, “Yes.  He said, Doug always told him that “the most important thing in this life was to be born again, and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and trust his perfect blood to save your soul!  I asked him if he had done that and he said he did one day after Doug talked with him.  I was exstatic!  I now know that my uncle was witnessing for Jesus Christ and winning souls too!  What a blessing to know that he was faithful!
            Also in February, God gave me a whole bunch of Spanish New Testaments and John and Romans to distribute in Honduras.  Last September, I had a meeting in Marathon, Florida (close to Key West).  Several weeks after that, I received a phone call from a man at that church who said he had many boxes of Bibles in Spanish in his basement.  They had been there for almost six years and were part of a shipment that was supposed to go to Cuba.  Somehow that didn’t work out and they weren’t able to be sent, and for those six years, he was looking for someone that could use them.  He offered them to me and I readily accepted!    In the middle of February, I drove all the way down there, and picked up the Bibles, and it turned out that there were 60 boxes of material from Bearing precious seed.  30 boxes were John and Romans, and 30 were New Testaments.  All total, it added up to over 10,000 pieces of literature.  After getting them home in a U haul trailer, my next concern was how to get them to Honduras, but God supplied (as he always does) and a church in Birmingham, Alabama offered to send them over to a missionary already there.  He has a big warehouse, and he’ll keep them for me until I finish deputation, and am able to get there to distribute them.  So I praise God that I’ll have some material to pass out when I get to Honduras.
            I also had a blessing with one saved on Feb. 20th in Tallassee, Alabama.  I preached on Jonah, and about running from God.  Then, after the service, Joshua Moore age 25 walked the isle and got saved! 
            I also had three new churches take me on for support in February!  So, God is continuing to supply my need, and I thank Him for that.  I’m reminded of 1 Corinthians 1:9 which says “God is faithful...” And, boy am I thankful he is!  He’s sure been good to me, and I’m enjoying serving him.  Please continue to pray for me, and the lost souls in Honduras.

Because He lives,
