Dear Brothers and Sisters,
A very heartfelt greetings from the Breakers! It is now 2014, and I’m astonished we are still here with everything that is going on in the world. I truly thought the Lord would have come back by now! But until he does, we are active in doing what God would have us to do, which is preach the Gospel to a lost and dying world.
MAKING FRIENDS TO WITNESS TO
Lately, we’ve been trying to make friends with some locals here where we live, in order to get to know them and then have the chance to witness to him. We know they aren’t saved, but we figure if we could just be friendly, then God would open a door for us to witness later, so that’s what we’ve been doing. One man in particular I asked to come to church with me one Sunday where I would be speaking. He did, and I gave him the Gospel as plainly and clearly as I could. Afterwards, he gave me a list of verses to look up later, as he told me he believed that a person had to be “baptized in water” and “endure to the end” to be saved. How sad he didn’t understand what Jesus did for him was sufficient and nothing else is needed to be saved. It’s by FAITH, and not of WORKS! Please pray for him, as I’m still working on him. After reading his page-long list of verses, I later gave him a letter with my list of verses for him to read. It ended up being about SEVEN PAGES LONG, (I couldn’t get it any shorter!). I pray he’ll read it and get saved.
PASSING OUT TRACTS
One of my favorite tracts to hand out in both English and Spanish is the one with a drawing of a bloody, crucified Jesus Christ on the front with the words, “All This I Did For Thee,” underneath it. It does a great job of getting right to the point. Even if a Sinner won’t read the whole thing, at least he’ll read the title, and hopefully it will make him think.
One Saturday, I was passing out tracts at a huge garage sale in Pensacola, Florida, when a black man on a bicycle showed up and starting asking everyone for money. He was very vocal and belligerent, and people were going out of their way to avoid him. When he came my way, I told him, “I’ve got something much better than money,” and I pulled out that tract. When I did his eyes locked on it, and he began to back away slowly. When I’d move closer, he’d back away, and when I’d back away he’d move closer to me, always maintaining the same distance. Yet, everything he did was in slow motion. It was so weird! His countenance changed also, and he became a completely different person, eyes always locked on the crucified Saviour, and never looking away. The scary thing was his voice changed as well, and he began saying strange things, and then he kept saying he had to leave. He then slowly backed away as far as he could, all the while speaking more slowly until he finally took his gaze off our crucified Lord and then quickly jumped on his bike and sped away! It was so strange. I wonder if he didn’t have a demon. That’s the only thing that could explain it.
GETTING A TOOTH PULLED
While in Honduras, I had some dental work done years ago by a dental student there. She ended up taking out a lot of my back right bottom tooth, and adding in a lot of mercury, something I didn’t like, but I lived with it. Several years ago, I decided it was time to get the mercury removed, so we went to a dentist in Alabama who specialized in getting rid of mercury and replacing it with another kind of filling. Sadly, he didn’t do so, and left some mercury in the tooth.
After that I always had problems with my mouth, and even had frequent gland problems and constant ear infections. It was so bad, my cheek was always inflamed, and I couldn’t even stand to look at myself, as I looked so fat, ugly, and bloated. I finally figured it was probably that tooth so I had it pulled in January. I then asked the dentist for the tooth, and he gave it to me. When I got home, I saw the problem. There was a small slit in the side and the mercury was coming out and poisoning my body, causing my almost constant sickness. I’m so glad it’s gone now! My cheeks aren’t as swollen, and I really feel like a million bucks! It’s so good to get rid of that “thorn in the flesh” if you will!
RECEIVING MANY PHONE CALLS
I receive many phone calls and emails daily. And, we’ve found that our ministry is spreading widely via internet, DVD’s, CD’s, books, written literature, etc., and we are grateful that God is using those mediums today to get the Gospel far and wide.
One thing we are finding is how great the telephone is for a witnessing tool, and for teaching others the Bible. I’m continually getting phone calls from people who have read my website and have questions about the Spanish Bible, Salvation, Dispensational Truth, and more. It’s great to be able to witness when we go out, but what a true blessing to be able to witness while in your own house as well!
One funny story I have to include. We recently got a phone call from a Pastor in Honduras who calls quite often with Bible questions. This particular time he called with someone in his church who had a problem. It seems their child had shoved a grain of corn up his nose, and they couldn’t get it out! They were hysterical and didn’t know what to do. I asked them first if they had prayed, and then secondly if they had done anything about it. They had not. I then recommended they should first pray, and then find some black pepper and rub it all over the child’s nose and upper lip. They said they would. I got a phone call later in which they informed me that the grain of corn had come out! How funny!
WORKING ON ANOTHER DVD
Most of you know we had Bro. Kent Hovind come to Honduras back in 2005 and tape his series on Creationism in English with a Spanish Interpreter. Creation Science Evangelism has since sent that DVD out far and wide to Spanish-Speaking People. It is, however, very long (7 DVDs in total in both English and Spanish). So in English they have made one single highlight DVD, which hopefully will make people want to order the entire 7 DVD set.
Recently, they thought it would be a good idea to do the same in Spanish, and I was asked to translate for Eric Hovind, the main speaker, who introduced each summarized section. We filmed in a studio in Pensacola, and after he spoke in English, I translated in Spanish. It was a lot of fun, and the DVD is now finished!
I have a friend who will soon mail the DVD out to Spanish-Speaking churches across the nation, starting in Texas. The idea is the church will want a Spanish-speaker to come to their church and preach, and that’s why my address, phone, and other information are on the end of that DVD. So hopefully, in the future we will get many wide open doors to preach revival, mission conferences, teaching sessions on Creation vs. Evolution, and much more in Spanish. Please pray for this!
Once again, thanks for all your continued prayers and support. They mean more than you know. Times are tough, but God is still on the throne and doing things with us, and we count it an honor to have the privilege to serve him with you all!
Because of Christ Jesus our Lord,
Robert Breaker and Family
1 Sam. 12:24!
