Dear Beloved,
How great it is to write unto thee once more and tell of what the Lord is doing in Honduras. Thanks for all your continued prayers and support, and I’m continually praying that the Lord will bless you far above what you deserve!
July has been a rainy month, and my car has been stuck on several occasions in the mud. I took it to the shop to get it fixed, and found that the 4 x 4 wasn’t working. Thank God we were able to fix it for the time being until I can get a new “Actuator.” Also, my Anti-lock brakes have failed, and I must get that fixed as well. Thank God he’s kept me safe over the last several months with next to no traction and failing brakes in this wet and muddy climate. I stand in awe of his mercy and protecting power!
On July 17th, I had the opportunity to preach in a little village outside of where I live. It was a rainy night, and I thought no one would come for services, but sure enough about twenty-five Indian people came to the little home where we were meeting. I preached a message about “The Gospel” and we had one saved! Glory to God!
July 18th, Pastor Ramón Galeano came to the house and visited. He brought a Missionary from Guatemala with him named José Marón who is working in El Salvador. What a blessing it was to sit and talk with him about what God is doing there in the little village where he is working. Most Missionaries just brag about what they are doing or have done, but it’s always a blessing to speak with someone who truly loves the Lord and wants to brag about his Saviour and what He’s doing with him.
Our church in El Carrizal is doing as well as can be expected. Numbers are dwindling, as most people were coming just expecting a handout. Many became mad when they found out that we were only interested in giving them spiritual things rather than material things, and left. But we still have a few visitors coming every week, and I’m enjoying preaching to them. Before service, we always hand out tracts, and I’ve been able to witness to many passerby’s and invite them to services. Some come, and some don’t, but I guess that’s the way it always is.
The end of July, I put up a new fence in front of the church building we are renting. The old one was completely eaten up with termites. Nelson and I worked all day long setting new posts and running barbwire, and we had a great time of fellowship. People walking by saw us and would speak with us. I believe it was a good thing for the people to see me working out there and eating the same food as Nelson and Zenia. Most Hondurans think Americans have more dollars than sense. But, I’m struggling too, as rent, food, car parts, and more take their toll in trying to get the Gospel to the lost and dying world.
I want to sincerely thank you all for your prayers and faithful support. God is good, and it’s a blessing just to have the privilege to serve Him! And it’s a blessing to know that others support your work in the ministry as well..
Because He died on Calvary,
