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,
