September 2004

Dear Fellow Labourers,

            The month of September was full of blessings!  God is continually using me here, and I’m glad just to be part of the work of the Lord.  Of course, the biggest reward will be yours at the Judgment Seat of Christ for your continued prayers and support.

            The 6th through the 10th, I was asked to teach a course on “The Truth About Roman Catholicism” at the Baptist Camp behind my house.  My students were Lenca Indians who came down from the mountains for a week to attend classes (some already saved, others not).  For three hours a day, I showed them what the Roman Catholic Church teaches, and then took them to the precious word of God so that they could see that all the Papal system has to offer is “tradition” rather than sound “Bible doctrine.”  When I finished the course, they were amazed.  Many students said, “How could we as Catholics believe in an ungodly system that’s so ‘stupid’ and ‘antibiblical.’  Some of the students weren’t saved, and God used the teaching to plant a seed and to bring them to the Lord, as on Sunday night eight people got saved at the Baptist Camp after the other Missionary preached!

            Things in Quebrada de Lajas are going well.  The 12th was “Children’s Day” here in Honduras, and I decided we ought to celebrate it the typical Honduran style with food and a Piñata.  This we did, and had a good turn out of not only children, but their parents as well.  Our little Chapel was full!      

            God continues to bless there in the small work with the Lenca Indians (mostly hard Catholic people).  On the 26th I led Emerson Neftali Sanchez, age 13, to the Lord, and then on the 30th, I led his sister Jenny to the Lord!   The same day  I dealt with Leslie Martinez who also chose to trust the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour!

            On the 18th, the Lenca Bible Institute began again.  I was asked to preach on “Preacher and His Problems.”  Our first class went well, and I enjoyed seeing several new students .

            The 24th, I preached in Ramon Galeano’s church here (The Good Shepherd Baptist Church).  They recorded my sermon, and played it on their radio station several days afterwards.  Many of the people I’m trying to reach in Quebrada de Lajas told me they heard the sermon at home while listening to their stereo.  That was a blessing!

            Thanks again for all your continued prayers and support.  God seems to be working in Honduras, and I count it an immense privilege just to be here.  May God continue to bless you all!

            Because of Christ Jesus our Most Wonderful Saviour,

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour,

“As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.”

                                                                                                                                    - Proverbs 25:25

            The month of August certainly brought a lot of “good news” in service for the Lord!

            We had dinner on the grounds on the first at Quebrada de Lajas, and had a great time of fellowship as we cooked together at the little building we are renting.  It was great to see the people working together.  Afterwards we had a great service.

           

            At the Baptist Camp behind my house here in La Esperanza we had a short revival from the 6th through the 8th.  A Missionary from El Salvador was asked to preach, and he did a great job.

           

            On the 15th, we had six saved at the Baptist Camp after service!  I lead three of them personally to the Lord, while the other Missionary dealt with the others.  They were ripe and ready to be saved, and it was a blessing to be able to take them through the scriptures and show them how to trust the shed blood of Jesus Christ to save their soul!

           

            I gave away a tract in Tegucigalpa at a restaurant the beginning of the month, and saw some fruit from it.  A young man named Denis Gomez (my waiter), age 23, sent a letter to my address on the back saying that he trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour after reading it.  I met the young man afterwards and gave him a Bible, and helped to disciple him on how to live a victorious Christian life and put the past behind him and live for God.

           

            We also had a Baptismal Service here the end of August.  We were allowed to use the newly constructed Baptismal at the Iglesia Bautista El Buen Pastor (The Good Shepherd Baptist Church) in downtown La Esperanza.  I baptized three (two from Quebrada de Lajas, and one that I led to the Lord in my neighborhood), while the other Missionary baptized six more.

            Thus, August was a very fruitful month, and it was a joy to see God using not only myself, but the other Missionary here as well. 

            Thank you again for all your continued prayers and support!!!

July 2004

Dear Bloodbought Clan,

            How quickly July passed!  I just whizzed by like a bolt of lightining, leaving behind only memories, both good and bad...

GOOD MEMORIES:

            On the 13th, I turned thirty years old!  Then on the 29th, I had my spiritual birthday (the most important one).  I am now 12 years old spiritually (almost a teenager!) in the Lord.

            On the 16th, I had one saved named Belkis Hernandez in our services in Quebrada de Lajas.  He trusted Christ as his Saviour one evening after services.

            We have now started services in our new building in Quebrada de Lajas on Sundays at three o’clock (where we have regular Thursday night service).  Before we were meeting in another house on Sunday, but now we have decided it’s best that all come to the same place!  Several lost people came for the first Sunday service, but have not as yet trusted Christ as their Saviour.  Please pray for them.

BAD MEMORIES:

            Early during the month I took some “De-worming” medicine.  This worked wonderfully, and I was able to expel all the worms in my system, albeit it was a trying experience, and left me weak for several days.

            On the 7th, I was driving down the road in Tegucigalpa when my back left tire suddenly went rolling by me at about forty miles an hour!  I slammed on the brakes and watched it jump a fence and head towards a car wash.  The lugnuts were loose, and eventually came completely off, freeing the tire and destroying the rim.  Fortunately, I was able to fix the problem and buy new lugnuts.  However, I still need a new rim, as I now have no spare tire.

            Apart from the good and bad, what more can I tell you?  I’ve been faithful in teaching at the Bible Institute (although the tire disaster kept me from going one Saturday).  I also have been busy getting out tracts, Bibles, and Gospel literature to others (God has been using me here as a supplier of Bibles and tracts to many other churches around the area, which has been a real blessing!) as well as visiting, preaching and teaching.

            Thanks again for all your prayers and support!

            Because of our Blessed Saviour,

June 2004

Dear Brethren,

  

            I’m continually busy here in Honduras plodding along and am enjoying faithfully planting, watering, and watching God give the increase!          

            On June 10th, a young lady named Kenia Amaya trusted Jesus Christ as her Saviour in services at Quebrada de Lajas, after I preached a message entitled, “¡Aceptad!” (Accept!)  To God be the Glory!

            We moved out of our old building that was full of bats, and had our first service in the building across the street on the 17th.  We had a good crowd of people, about 35 in total, and I preached on the subject of “THE BLOOD.”  My points were that the blood is 1. “Pura” (Pure),  2. “Preciosa” (Precious) , and 3. “Poderosa” (Powerful).

            On the 15th of June, my Mom flew down from the states to spend two weeks with me.  We had a wonderful time together, as I took her with me out in the mountains to visit the people I’m trying to reach.  I also took her around with me to other areas during the first week, showing her what I’m doing here, and where I’m preaching and teaching.

            The second week she was here, we journeyed to the Honduran island of Utila on the Northern Coast.  There we took a vacation, and enjoyed learning how to Scuba Dive.  After only three days of classes we both became certified PADI Open Water divers.  It was a lot of fun, and I had the opportunity to swim underwater with a huge Hawk’s Bill Sea Turtle.  We also were blessed to see barracuda, a morey eel, squid, a sea horse, and many other beautiful marine creatures in their own natural habitat!

            It wasn’t all vacation time, however, as I was asked to teach Wednesday night service at the Baptist Church there in Utila for Pastor Julio Cordón, as well as preach on Sunday evening.  My Mom was there for that, and we had someone translate for her into English (as I preached in Spanish). 

            I also had the opportunity to witness to an old man there on Utila named Harry Cooper.  He doesn’t claim to be saved, but says he’s a distant cousin to Missionary Earl Howell there.  Please pray for Mr. Cooper’s salvation.

            Thus, June was a very fun month.  Not only was it good to see the Lord’s family in our little church growing, but it was a blessing to spend some time with my mother as well. 

            Thanks again for all your continued prayers and support.  May God richly bless you all!

Dear Fellow Prayer Warriors,

            Greetings in the precious name of the almighty, all powerful, omnipotent Saviour and most blessed Creator — our Lord Jesus Christ!  I hope this letter finds you walking in the joy and power of the Holy Ghost, while ever busy in the work of the Lord.

PLANTING SEEDS

            I’m learning that it pays to make relationships with people.  Anywhere and everywhere I go, I am quick to be friendly with others, and open conversation.  This eventually gives the opportunity to speak with them later about the Lord.  At the “Value Center” store in Tegucigalpa, for example, I had a wonderful chance to witness to the entire store, and the boss let me give away Bibles and New Testaments to everyone that worked there!

SEED SPROUTING UNTO ETERNAL LIFE

            At the Aerocasillas Mail Center in Tegucigalpa (where I get my mail), I’ve been witnessing to Ms. Ingrid Lopez Sevilla for over a year.  Everytime I’d go there, I’d give her a different tract and speak to her about the Lord.  On the 3rd of May, I received the most wonderful news when she told me, “I finally accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour by faith in his shed Blood!”  Thus, planting seeds is definitely worth the effort!

SERVICES HERE IN HONDURAS

            The other Missionary came back last month, and this month we moved from having services in my garage to the much bigger Baptist Camp behind my house.  Services seem to be going well, and more people are starting to come.  On Mother’s Day we had almost one hundred people (mostly mothers and children).

            Services in Quebrada de Lajas are going well, except for the undesired “visitors” we have in our building.  Yes, the building is full of bats!  And we are constantly battling against them every Thursday during services.  Once I had one fly right in front of my face while preaching.  (Not a wonderful experience!)  

STUDIES AT THE BIBLE INSTITUTE

            I finished teaching my class on First and Second Thessalonians at the Lenca Bible Institute on the eight.  And was asked to teach on “Church History” this semester, which started on the 22nd.  I have about twelve students total and they are very eager to learn.

SALLYING FORTH TO OTHER AREAS

            On May 10th, I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to a new area and visit there.  The town was called “Malguarra” and I visited a young man named Baldomero Hernandez.  I took with me a lost friend named Catalino, and had a good opportunity to witness to them both as we walked down to the river.  We sat on old logs, and I showed them many verses of scripture.  Please pray for their salvation.

 

            Thanks again for all your prayers and support.  I feel so unworthy, but am very grateful for your helping the ministry in Honduras!

April 2004

Dear Praying Fellowlabourers,

            “And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.”  Acts 28:24

            The most frustrating thing about being a Missionary is witnessing to others and watching them willingly deny the Lord Jesus Christ and reject him as their Saviour.   As the verse above says, some will believe and some won’t.  But that’s no excuse to quit witnessing, as so many “Christians” have nowadays, rather it compels me to continue on for the sake of those that will.

WITNESSING TO ALL

            On April 13th, I took a “road trip” with some of my converts to the little village of “Los Dolores” to witness to their lost family members.   There, I had the chance to take Ichabel and Gregorio Sanchez (brothers) through the scriptures, and show them their sin, their need to be saved, and their pending judgment if they refuse.  Unfortunately, they put salvation off until another day.

            On April 18th, while in Quebrada de Lajas, I stumbled upon two young, lost men who have visited our services there.  They were both drunk, and one was so intoxicated, that he was laying in the middle of the road almost completely passed out.  I did the only Christian thing I could, I played the “Good Samaritan” in taking them home, and putting them to bed.  This opened the door to witness to some of their family as well.

            On April 26th, in Teguicigalpa, I took Mrs. Ruth Yamileth Avila and her sister through the scriptures showing them their need for “eternal” rather than temporal life.  They listened well, but chose not to repent, claiming they “just weren’t ready yet.”    

WINNING ONE

            Returning from Los Dolores on the 13th, I witnessed to Blanca’s brother Juan Carlos Sanchez, asking him to turn to verses on salvation and read them.  He did so, and before we arrived to Quebrada de Lajas, I pulled over on the side of the road and led him to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith in the precious shed blood!

WORKS

            Services at my house have been going on now for four months in the absence of the other Missionary, who had gone to the states.  We’ve seen several saved, and I’ve enjoyed preaching to mostly teenagers, who are eager to learn. 

            I’m continuing on in Quebrada de Lajas preaching and teaching each Thursday Night and Sunday afternoon in this very Catholic stronghold.  It seems that there’s always a new person in service that is “curious” to hear what’s being preached, and I enjoy showing them God’s words.   Please pray for both of these works.

WANTS

            I am in much need of Spanish tracts against the Catholics, J.W.’s, Mormon’s and more.  Anything you could send would be a blessing.  Please mail them to the address below.

            Much heartfelt thanks I desire and send to you all for your continued prayers and support.  May God bless you richly, and may we soon “gather at the river” to shout, sing, praise, and enjoy our blessed eternity with him who loved us enough to die for us.

            Because of Christ Jesus our most marvellous Lord,

March 2004

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord,

            Another month has appeared and then departed, leaving behind only pleasing memories of days gone by.  With it, toil, cares, trouble, and concern have all withered away, and time has brought us even closer to the blest day of the soon appearing of our Great God and Saviour in the clouds with Glory.  How wonderful it will be to finally shuffle off this mortal coil of sin, shame, and woe, and take on the likeness of Him who knew no sin! 

            But until the Morning Star arise, I’ve determined the more to press on to the mark of the high calling of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, enjoying, admist a sea of problems, the few small blessings that God sends my way.

            March has been both a month to remember, and a month to forget.  Inspite of pain, horrible sicknesss, continual car trouble, and more, God’s blessed with the joy of seeing some fruit in the lives of some converts.  And rather than dwell upon the ill that’s befallen me, I’d rather you rejoice with me in the good.

            On the 18th, I had the most wonderful opportunity to perform my first wedding ceremony between Jose Martir Martinez, and Blanca Gladis Sanchez.  They have been attending services with me in Quebrada de Lajas, for some time.  I lead Blanca to the Lord back in January, and then stressed to her and Martir their need to get married to preserve their testimony.  They agreed, and I had the priviledge of taking them to La Esperanza to the “Alcalde” (Mayor’s office) on Friday March 12th, for their “civil” vows.  I then presided over the Marriage ceremony in Quebrada de Lajas the following Thursday. 

            Many people were in attendance, including many of their lost family members and friends.  I used the opportunity to preach about “Marriage in the Bible.”  I not only showed them the first Marriage in Genesis between Adam and Eve, and taught them God’s commands for married couples from a Biblical standpoint, but I was careful to show how marriage relates to salvation in the type of Christ and the Church and stressed their need to trust Jesus Christ as their Saviour.  I closed by speaking of that most glorious and last of all Marriages, “The Marriage of the Lamb” in heaven, and pleaded with them to come to Christ so they won’t miss out in being there.

            During the service, the Honduran people have a custom which seemed a little “Catholic” to me.  After they say their vows, they have the two kneel before the preacher, and he is to lay his hands on their head and pray for them.  This made me feel rather uncomfortable, and to me seemed quite “Popish,” so I just kneeled with them, and prayed that God would bless them and use them.

            After the wedding, we ate our fill of “Nacatamales” at Martir’s house.  About eighty people in total came, and it was a great time of fellowship, food, and fun.

            Thanks again for all your prayers and support. 

           

            “To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever.  Amen!” (Jude 25).

February 2004

Dear Accepted in the Beloved,

            “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”  (Matthew 28:19,20)

            What a blessed privilege it is to be a Missionary!  And what a joy it is to know that He who loved me enough to die for me, promised that he’d be with me “always, even unto the end of the world!”   February has been a fruitful month, and it’s been a blessing to just have the opportunity to serve the Lord and obey the verse above. 

GO YE…

            I’ve been faithful in going out to Quebrada de Lajas and holding services on Thursday’s and Sunday’s.  God’s been faithful too, and has recently given me another family to study Bible with.  Our first class, I taught on “Salvation,” and God allowed me to win both Ronnie Cruz Hernandez and his brother David to the Lord!  The rest of the family claims to be saved, except for one.  Please pray for him. 

...TEACHING THEM…

            Bible Institute has started up again, and I’m teaching now verse by verse from First and Second Thessalonians to my students.  Classes will run up until the eight of May, so I ask that you keep that in your prayers.

            Also, I’m still holding Bible Study in my house twice a week.  I’m teaching verse by verse from Galatians, and we are having a great time learning about the difference between “The Law” and “Grace.”

...BAPTIZING THEM…

            The end of February, I was invited to a Baptismal service with several other Baptist Churches in the area.  I went and took three newly saved people that are attending services with me to the event.  There were over an hundred people that showed up in all, and about twenty in total that were baptized.   I was asked to preach to them about the significance of Baptism, and I showed how it is a “figure” that symbolizes the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and is an “answer of a good conscience towards God (1 Peter 3:21), that gives a testimony to others that one has accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour through faith in the precious Blood.  God blessed the message and we had several saved.  After we all walked together down to the river, we sang hymns and then began the “dunking.”  I baptized my three, and also had the privilege of winning a young woman to the Lord of 17 years of age who said, “I don’t want go to Hell!  I want to get saved too, so I can also publicly and openly show others that I’ve trusted Christ as my Saviour as well!” 

            ...AND ‘LO’ I AM WITH YOU…

            Thank God he’s with us in the “lows” and the “highs.”  Most of the month of February brought many a “high” point.  Yet there have been some “lows” as well, such as “car problems,” “people problems,” “churches dropping my support,” etc.   But worse than all that, I’ve been sick quite frequently.  Call it “overexertion,” “being worn out,” “lack of rest,” or what you like, but I’ve been in poor health most of the month with not much time for needed rest.  I ask that you keep me in your prayers, and that God would help me to get better, as there is so much to do here in Honduras! If my health doesn’t improve, I might have to cut back on what I’m doing in order to keep from getting worse physically, and I sure don’t want to do that.

            Because of Christ Jesus our Most Gracious Lord,

January 2004

Dear Fellow Brethren in Christ Jesus Our Most Blessed Lord,

            January has been a month of change and harvest.  Satan has been busy as usual trying to destroy the work here in Honduras, but God continues to be faithful in not only opening doors, but also giving some fruit along the way.  And I’m finding that constant persistence, faithfulness, and patience are what’s needed in the ministry for God to bless and work through me!

            The first of this month, I was notified that the Missionary who left me in charge of the services in the Baptist Camp behind my house will not be coming back to Honduras for another three months minimum, and that his “Mission” told him to close down services there, and that I was not allowed to use the facilities for preaching or teaching.  This left a bad taste in my mouth, so I did the only thing I knew to do, which was invite the people to come to my house for services each Wednesday and Sunday at five in the evening.  Although we lost a few, many are still coming, and I’m enjoying teaching them the word of God. 

            On Saturday’s, we started visitation in our neighborhood at three in the afternoon.  While visiting on the 17th, I had the privilege of leading thirteen-year-old Carlos to the Lord.   The 21st, I had an even greater blessing when I led David Martinez to the Lord and a young lady named Melissa after Wednesday night services.

            Another Missionary here in Honduras named Robert Baker, sent me a young preacher boy for two weeks named Alexis Flores, that he’s training for the ministry, with the commission of “teach him all you can!”  This I did as I taught him “The Seven Mysteries,” “The Seven Baptisms,” “The Seven Judgments,” “The Seven Resurrections,” and much more. 

            While he was here, we did some visiting in Quebrada de Lajas, and he led a 54-year-old man to Jesus Christ!  What a blessing that was, and a thrill for us both.

            Speaking of Quebrada de Lajas, we lost the building we were meeting in, as the landlord is a very Catholic man, and didn’t like to see that our services were going so well, as more people were coming.  He threatened us and told us that we could no longer have services there.  But God was good in allowing us a lost man named “Adrian” to lend us his house to continue services.  (Please pray for him that he would trust Jesus Christ as his Saviour). 

            Towards the end of January, God provided a vacant house for us to meet in at a very small price of 200 lempiras a month (about ten American dollars).  In our first service in our new building, Blanca (Jose Martir’s wife), trusted the Blood of Jesus Christ to save her never dying soul!  What a blessing that was!

            On top of preaching four times a week, I also am busy teaching.  Bible Institute started up again the 30th of January, and I’ll be teaching 1st and 2nd Thessalonians verse by verse for thirteen consecutive weeks.     Also, I have been asked by another Missionary here to give Greek classes every Wednesday morning.  We started on the 21st, and have been going ever since.  I have five students who are eager to learn.

            Thus, January was a great month.  God blessed time and again, and I believe it’s all because of your continued prayers.  May God bless you for helping the ministry in Honduras!

December 2003

Dear Brothers and Sister in Christ,

            Greetings once again in that name above every name — THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!  The month of December has come and gone, and with it yet another year has passed.  And praise be to God, it’s good to know that we are even that much closer to the blessed appearing of our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ!  Even so come Lord Jesus!

            The work in Quebrada de Lajas is going slowly, but we are having many visitors.  We are meeting in the house of José Mártir Martinez, who is a fine Christian, Indian man.  However, his wife is not saved, nor are many of the people that are visiting services.  Yet, they are excited about coming and listening, and learning more about God’s holy word.  The only problem is that this area is so steeped with Catholicism, that I’m finding it hard to reach the people who are filled with years of pagan tradition and religious prejudice.  Little by little I’m teaching them what the Bible says compared to what the Catholism teaches.  They also have quit a history of “Alcoholism” and on more than one occasion, we’ve had some people come drunk to the meeting.  Please pray for this work and that people would get saved, as many seem interested in coming, but few seem to understand the Gospel.   We also plan on holding services on Sunday’s soon, and I ask for your prayers for this as well.

           

            December 2nd, I was given some new responsibilities, as another Missionary had to go back to the states and left me in charge of the Sunday and Wednesday night services at the Baptist Camp behind my house.  Services are going well, and I’m having a great time teaching and preaching there.  It is mostly kids that come, but we do have some teenagers and adults as well.

           

            For Christmas, I journeyed up the mountain to Quebrada de Lajas for our usual Thursday night service.  I preached on “The History of Christmas” and exposed it’s Catholic, pagan roots (such as Christmas trees, Satan Claus, Christ Mass, Yule logs, etc.).  Afterwards, I told them the true story of the birth of Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23), who died on the cross for their sins.  Afterwards, we feasted on Nacatamales filled with chicken, potatoes, peas, peppers, rice and more.

            As we sat and fellowshipped, Brother José told me of a dream he had the other night.  He said, “You and I were in a big mansion and we knew that there were thieves coming to rob us.  You and I had a weapon, and we stood at both doors ready to use them if the evil ones came to do us harm.  Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and we could see through the keyhole that it was a gang of hoodlums with guns, knives, machetes, and clubs.  But rather than start shooting, you said, ‘Open the Door!’  This I did, and you told me to use my weapon.  I thought it was a pistol, and when I pointed it to shoot, I found it was only a flashlight that lighted the entire night.  The wicked men who intended to do us harm stumbled back and couldn’t see because of the intense brightness.  Thus they slowly backed away and eventually began running as the light became brighter and brighter.  Then I realized that the light wasn’t coming from my flashlight, but it was coming from you.  When I looked behind me, I saw you had your Bible open and it was shining forth the truth so brightly, that I myself could barely see!”  When he finished telling his dream, I had goosebumps all over!  Truly the light of the word is the only thing that can set the captives free from the spiritual darkness where they trod and bring them to The True Light — Jesus Christ!

            Thanks again for all your prayers and support, and may God richly bless you for helping the ministry here in Honduras.
