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).

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.

November 2003

Dear Bloodwashed Fold,

“Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.”  (1 Timothy 5:20).

            The first of November, I journeyed seven hours to the little village of Guanko, Olancho to find my convert Nelson and reprove him for his sins of fornication and lasciviousness.  I found him in his mother’s house with the young lady that he left Zenia for.  I talked to them for some time telling them that they are living in sin, and need to repent and get right with God.  They didn’t seem to want to do right, so I had to do the only thing I knew to do, which was go to each house in the village and tell everyone that Nelson Corrales was a fornicator, and God would judge him for his sins, so that they too might fear God.  Some of the people in the village were guilty of the same thing, and I showed them from the Bible that they too were living in sin and needed to get right with God.

            Before I left, Nelson’s lost mother told me, “Robert, you are right, and what Nelson is doing is wrong.  Thank you for taking an interest in my son and telling him the truth.  I want to give you something for it.”  And she gave me a beautiful black hen.  When I took it home and showed it to my neighbors, they felt I should have more than just the one hen, and they gave me both a rooster and another hen.  So now I have three chickens, and I’m getting a couple of eggs a week.  They are very good for breakfast!

            The 8th of November, I preached a Youth Meeting here in La Esperanza for “Iglesia Bautista El Redentor” (Redeemer Baptist Church).   There were many young people in attendance, and I stressed their need to think about their futures and put God first in everything.

            The boys I’m studying Bible with on Tuesdays and Fridays at my house went with me this month to Quebrada de Lajas, and helped me with Visitation.  It was the first time they’d ever knocked on doors.  They did well, and we had a wonderful time inviting people to service.

            The 23rd, Bro. Homero Romero in San Pedro Sula asked me to preach in his church during the evening service.  I preached against the sin of “Fornication,” and showed how there is physical fornication, spiritual fornication, and how even the church can be guilty of fornicating with the world governmental system. (i.e. making the government the head of the church instead of Christ Jesus).

            The 24th-30th, I visited Missionary Carlos Donate in Guatemala City, Guatemala.  I had the privilege of preaching once during their Vacation Bible School to over 100 children, and three times in their regular church services.

            While in Guatemala, I received some rather bad news.  My 92-year-old Grandmother died on the 25th.  How it broke my hear to hear this. But I guess it was her time to go.

            When I called my Aunt and Uncle to ask about the details of my grandmother’s death, I told them I was in Guatemala.  They in turn told me, “We have a friend there named Gustavo Espina.  Maybe you can look him up.”  This I did, and their friend turned out to be both the Ex-Vice President and Ex-President of Guatemala.  I met the man on the 28th and we talked for over an hour.  He claimed to be a Christian but was a little put out with his Pastor who reads from the NIV in Spanish.  He said, “That version is very corrupt!  It takes out whole words and verses!  I don’t like it at all!”  (Amen and Amen!)  He invited me to his home to eat and meet his family if I should ever be in Guatemala again.

            Thus, November was an action-packed month full of excitement, adventure, and travel.  But it was not without some sadness for the death of a loved one, and broken heartedness for a convert gone bad. I ask for your prayers for Nelson that he would get right with God, and for my family in this their hour of need.

            Because He Shed His Precious Blood for Even Me,

October 2003

Dear Beloved in the Lord,

            Being a Missionary has its ups and downs.  There are times when I am overcome with joy and gladness that God has called me here to tell others the good news of salvation through the glorious Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  But then on the other side of the coin, many times I find myself discouraged, downcast, and miserable, as it seems the harder I try, the more things go wrong.  Yet through it all, I take comfort in knowing that the Lord Jesus Christ is always with me, for he hath said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5), even if things don’t go the way I hope.

            “For Nelson hath forsaken me having loved this present world, and is departed unto Olancho.”

            We lost our church building this month.  The landlord was a real wicked man, and told us that he desired us to move.  We tried to find another building, but had no luck.  Nelson and Zenia moved to another area, and I continued Bible Studies with them.  But one Sunday, when I went to visit them, I was shocked to hear the news that Nelson had run away with a young lady to Olancho and left Zenia two days before they were supposed to be married.  This news hit like a ton of bricks!  How could Nelson do such a thing? 

            I took Zenia to one of the area Baptist Churches and helped her to get situated in a good Bible Believing church.  It’s rather far from her house, but she is willing to travel in order to continue studying and grow in the Lord.  Please pray for her, as this is a hard time for her and her three-year-old daughter Marjorie.

            In spite of the crushing developments in Tegucigalpa, things are going surprisingly well in the little “pueblo” (town) of “Quebrada de Lajas,” close to where I live.  We have service every Thursday night, and I’m enjoying visiting during the week and getting to know the people.  Several times I’ve gone hunting with some of the native people.  Once, we shot a dove and a woodpecker with a .22 rifle.  (I kept thinking, “I’d love to see the faces of some of those ‘Waco Environmentalists” after we shot them.  But here it is not illegal, nor are they even close to becoming extinct).

            I’ve also enjoyed playing Doctor, as I have helped many of the village people with medicine and medical care.  One young man named Nazario cut his foot open with an axe while chopping firewood.  It was an awesome experience for me to kneel before this Indian man and wash and dress his foot in bandages after applying a ton of Triple Antibiotic Ointment.  (He healed quickly, and was back to work in less than a week).

            On the 28th, I visited the little village of “Los Dolores” (literally in English “The Pains”) in the department of “Lempira” with Jose Martir and his companion Blanca.  We had a great time visiting, passing out tracts and bibles, and telling others about the Lord Jesus Christ.

            So, even though things have fallen apart in Tegucigalpa, I’m happy to report that they seem to be going well in Quebrada de Lajas.  We had about 20 people last week, and many of them are not saved, yet they wish to come and listen.  I even had one man raise his hand during service and say, “I’m not saved, does that mean I can’t come?  Because I would really like to keep coming.”  I assured him that he was always welcome, and we wanted him to come and listen to the Gospel, for we wished him to trust the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. 

            “Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.”   (2 Corinthians 13:11) 

            Because He Died on Calvary for even me,

September 2003

Dear Fellow Believers in Christ Jesus our Lord,

            Greetings once again in that name above every name,  the Lord Jesus Christ!  September brought some highs and lows, as I’ve seen doors opened, and doors starting to shut.  But I’m thankful for the opportunity to be here serving the Lord, and trying to reach the lost with the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

SOME VISITORS

            During the month of September, I was blessed to have Bro. William Park and his family come down and visit me for a week.  They are a real blessing, and we had a great time together. They also helped me with visiting, and inviting kids to my house to celebrate Children’s Day on the 13th.  Over 113 children showed up in all for services!!!  I had a young preacher named Alexis preach to them, and then we divided them into groups to break two piñatas.  The children were very excited and had a great time.

           

            The 16th through the 21st, Bro. Bob Adams came and spent some time with me.  He’s from WINGS Bearing Precious Seed, and we had a wonderful time together.  I had him either preaching or teaching each night he was with me, and I translated.

SOULS SAVED!

            Bro. Park’s mother in law is a real go-getter, when it comes to presenting the Gospel, and while she was here, she won two ladies to the Lord in my neighborhood.  Their names were Jubertina Ramos Orealla (birthdate April 23, 1972), and Metodia Suyapa Vasquez (born July 7^th 1971).  Please keep them in your prayers.

           

SOME PROBLEMS

            The work in El Carrizal is going well, as we are having new visitors each week.  However, we are having problems with the Landlord of the place and will have to move soon.  We’ve looked around the area and are unable to find another place to meet.  Please pray for this.  This is a wonderful area to start a church, and there is property for sale down the road in a very excellent location.  But we have no funds to purchase property.  All we know to do is trust God to supply a place to meet.

SOME OPEN DOORS

            Despite the problems we are having in El Carrizal, the Lord is opening doors in other places to get the Gospel out.  I have inherited a work in Quebrada de Lajas from the “Central American Missions” (an organization started by C.I. Scofield in the early 1900’s).   They were unable to continue the work, and have asked me to carry it on.  I agreed to do so, and am now preaching and teaching in this little Indian village in the mountains outside of La Esperanza where I live.  I am having a wonderful time with these Lenca Indians, who appear to be some of the nicest people in the world.  We are meeting in the house of Jose Martír Martines.  Down the road lives his sister who accepted the Lord one night while I preached in services.  Please keep this endeavour in your prayers.

            I’ve also started a Bible Study at the Cancer Center in Tegucigalpa where I spend the night after Sunday services.  I have anywhere from 15 to 20 people who come to listen to me teach.  Many of them are cancer patients, and are in great need both physically and spiritually.

THE SPANISH BIBLE ISSUE

            The Lord is also blessing with a new ministry.  I have an website on the Internet with much information about the Spanish Bible Issue.  Each week I get an average of two or three emails from people asking the question, “Which Bible in Spanish is the word of God?”  There are several Spanish Bibles that “Fundamentalists” use today.  They are the 1865 Valera, the “Antigua” 1909 Reina-Valera, and the modern 1960 Reina-Valera.   Each one of these versions is based on the original 1602 Valera, but each one reads with the corrupt “Critical Texts” of man in certain key places (the 1960 more than the others).  As a King James Bible Believer, I am thankful to have the pure words of God in English from the Textus Receptus or Received Texts.  But in Spanish, it is a different story.  Even the original 1602 Valera has some readings from the corrupt Latin Vulgate, and does not read 100% with the Textus Receptus and King James.   This has always been a vexation to me, as I feel the Spanish speaking people ought to have the pure words of God in their language as well.

            Ever since God called me to the Mission field, I began studying the Spanish Bible Issue, and I wrote a book entitled, “A Brief Look at the History of the Spanish Bible,” which I’ve revised on many occasions (and I am enclosing the latest edition with this prayer letter to keep you informed of the Issue).

            In August of 2001, before coming to the field, I attended a Spanish Bible Conference at “Iglesia Biblica Bautista de Gracia” in Monterrey, Mexico, which Bro. Bob Adams told me about.  The church there has been working for over seven years on the task of purifying the 1602 Spanish Bible, with the Textus Receptus, the King James, and other versions of the Spanish Bible before 1602 based on the Textus Receptus.  What they have produced was a Spanish New Testament (The 1602 Restaurada or “Restored”) that is completely free of Critical Text readings (unlike the 1865 Spanish Bible that reads with Tischendorf, Tregellis, and others on occasion), and reads with both the Textus Receptus and the King James while honoring the original desire and heritage of the original 1602 Valera.  I have been using this New Testament here on the Mission field, grateful to have the pure words of God for the people to read and study.  I also have many people on the Internet asking for one, and I am sending out two to three New Testaments a week all over the world to people who are also looking for the pure words of God in Spanish.

            Bro. William Park brought me 12 cases of these 1602 TR’s (as I call them) when he visited me this month, and I was thankful to get them! 

            The Old Testament still lacks being finished, and they are working on purifying it as well, with the pure Hebrew Text of Ben-Chayim, instead of the corrupt Nazi text of Kittle.  Please pray for this endeavour, so that someday the Spanish Speaking world will have a pure, complete Bible in their own language.

            Thanks again for all your prayers and support.  Not only am I busy trying to get the Gospel to the people of Honduras, but also desire to get the pure words of God to them in their language as well.  Please pray for me!

 Dear Fellowlabourers in the Vineyard of the Lord,

            Even though the 1865 Spanish Bible says that Satan is “finished” (acabado) in Ezekiel 28:15, the truth is he is still busy attacking the work of the Lord.  We are seeing his opposition daily here in Honduras.  But all glory and praise be to God!  For He is faithful (1 Cor. 1:9), and is blessing us here in spite of that old Dragon’s chicanery.

            This month, I finished teaching my first semester at a local Bible Institute.  My class was about “Roman Catholicism” and I taught many Indian people about the evils of this false religious system.  They learned so much, and enjoyed the class so well, that they have asked me to teach again next semester on the subject of “Prophecy and Eschatology.”  Please pray for this endeavor.

            The 22nd of August, I had a Jehovah Witness come over and visit me.  The young men that I am studying Bible with on Tuesday and Friday nights told me he was “bothering” them continually with his false doctrine, and that they would like him to visit me.  This he did, and we had a very long discussion.  Every time I showed him a verse on Hell, he would always say, “Oh, that’s just symbolic!”  I became so frustrated that I took him to Luke 16 and showed him the rich man in Hell talking about his “torments.”  He said that was “symbolic” to him as well, so I did the only thing I could think to do to reach him.  I arose from my seat, went over to the boy and punched him on the arm.  Then I sat down, gathered my composure, and asked him, “Did that hurt?”  He replied, “Yes, as a matter of fact!  What did you do that for?”  I responded, “Well, to me, it was just symbolic!”  To make a long story short, he began to understand what “torments” were, as I continued to show him verse after verse that he didn’t want to see.  But he decided to continue being deceived and follow his false religion and continue in his heresy of denying the Trinity, and teaching that there is no Hell.  What a shame!  Please pray for him.  His name is Gotier.

            The children have come back again on Saturdays at my house.  It has been a blessing, and I’m enjoying teaching them again.  They are all a little better behaved, but not much.  Please pray for them.

            Things in our little church in El Carrizal are going as well as can be expected.  We are having problems with the landlord of the place, and he is turning off the electricity at times.  Although he doesn’t do it during services, he does cut it off when I’m not there, and this is hard on Nelson and Zenia who are trying to read and study the Bible in the evening.  Please pray that God would help to resolve this situation.

August 31st, was a real blessing, as we had three saved Sunday evening.  I preached a message entitled, “Some things that God Demands!”  I showed them that God demands sinless perfection, but since no one has ever been able to meet that one, God demands that they have a blood sacrifice for their sins.  I continued by showing them that God demands payment for sin (Hell!), but that Jesus had already paid for their sins on the cross.  I finished by showing them that God then demands Faith in the Blood of that sacrificial blood atonement for them to be saved.  After service we had three saved!  One of them was Rumelia, Nelson’s twelve year old sister.  What a blessing this was! 

Thanks again for all your prayers and support!

 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..
