Dear Brethren,
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
- Psalm 69:2
Well, maybe it’s not quite that bad, but there is a lot of rain here in Honduras and there is so much mud, that it’s hard to find a dry place to step. This makes travel hard in the muddy conditions. It also hinders one’s health, as mosquitoes breed like rabbits! But in spite of “Noah’s second flood,” we’ve looked towards the rainbow on the other side and God has blessed us with some fruit.
Bible Institute started up again August Sixth. I’m teaching two classes: Life of Christ and Bibliology.
We saw several folks saved these last two months, as I personally led the following to the Lord in July: Jose Dionisio Lopez, age 23, Heber Adalid Amaya, age 10, and Angelica Marlen Gomez, age 6. In August, I had the privilege of leading Emanuel de Jesus Gutierrez, age 21, to Christ Jesus after service in our little building in Quebrada de Lajas!
On the 17th of August, Missionary Bill Kepler and his wife Kathy went with my wife and I to the community of San Miguel el Archangel (a small subdivision built for those who suffered losses during Hurricane Mitch), about ten miles outside of the capital city of Tegucigalpa. I was invited there by Mr. Nicanor Orellano, the President of the town, who asked me to preach and pass out Gospel Literature. Nicky (as I call him), is an unsaved man who butchers pigs for a living. He didn’t get saved, but his two daughters did when Kathy Kepler led them to the Lord!
The rest of the day we spent visiting and passing out tracts. By the end of the day, we’d gotten out over 370 New Testaments (One per house). In the evening I stood on top of Nicky’s pig butchering table and preached a Gospel message to over forty people who came out to listen. It was a lot of fun!
My wife is settling in well here in Honduras. She is even learning some Spanish. One word she uses continually is “Macanudo,” which means “cool” here. We are trying to obtain her Residence Visa, but this is taking a long time. Every two months we’ve got to leave Honduras in order to have her passport restamped. This is getting a little expensive, as gas has gone up to over three dollars and fifty cents per gallon. But it does give us an excuse to travel and get out tracts. Before we went to Mexico, and the end of August we traveled to Guatemala.
Thanks again for all your continued prayers and support!
Because He paid it all on Calvary’s tree,
