September - October 2005

Dear Blood bought flock of God,

            September and October have been by far the most fruitful months of my ministry here in Honduras.  I find myself full of joy in reporting to you all the great and marvelous things that God is doing in Honduras!

            Many years ago Missionary Santos Ortiz told me he entered a church and the Pastor presented him to the congregation with these words: “He will come and tell you what he’s doing for the Lord.”  Bro. Ortiz approached the pulpit and replied, “Thank you Pastor, but I’ve not come to brag upon myself, only to tell you what God’s doing with someone like me!”  Amen and amen!

            So too, it is my desire to declare what God’s doing here in Honduras with a nobody like me!  God will save anyone and then God can and will use anybody.  All that’s needed is a willing heart and a desire to please Him.  Too many “Jehus” exist nowadays who only wish to exalt themselves and what they are doing in their “zeal for the Lord.”  Thus, I pray this letter might be a refreshing change from Missionaries who desire only to applaud themselves and their works.  For it’s my desire to glorify the blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and brag on Him and His life changing power!

SOULS SAVED!!!

            Sometimes you have to go fishing to catch fish.  But occasionally, while you’re out on the lake, a fish will jump into the boat.  This is rare, but with God anything is possible!

            On October fourteenth, Catalino Hernandez, 23 and Domingo Meza, 42 “jumped into the boat.”  They came to my house and asked how to be saved.  I’ve been praying for and preaching to Catalino for some time, but his vice of alcohol kept him from getting saved.  However, he finally became fed up with his sin and decided it was time to leave the old life behind and start a new one — an eternal life.   His exact words were, “I’m tired of serving the Devil and knowing I’m going to Hell.  I’m ready to get saved and serve God!”  Right there at my kitchen table both men trusted the precious sin cleansing blood of Jesus Christ to save their souls!

            I offered to drive them home after, and on the way Catalino asked me to visit his girlfriend, Michell Gomez, 26, and give her the Gospel as well.  He was so happy to be saved, that he wanted to see others born again also!  After giving her the Gospel, she bowed her head and trusted the blood of Jesus Christ to save her.  I was ecstatic!   Three people saved in one day!

            The next day a young lad named Leonel Alberto Tosta Velasquez, age 9, came to our house. He’d been visiting services in my home and had some questions.  After inviting him to stay for lunch, and giving him the Gospel, he too decided to trust Jesus Christ as his Saviour! 

            We’ve been holding Youth Meetings each Saturday Night in my garage for young people ages twelve to twenty-five.  Each week we preach on one of the prophets.  We encourage the kids to bring visitors, and usually they do.  God blessed on the night of Oct. 12th, when two trusted Christ Jesus as their Saviour.  I personally dealt with Christian David Chavez Reyes, 12, while Missionary Mike Lane’s wife won a young lady named Nancy.

            Also, on Saturday October 22nd, Wendy Patricia Aguilar Alvarado, 14, trusted the Lord as her Saviour after I took her through the scriptures! 

            Not only did God bless by letting us see some souls saved, but he also blessed with allowing me to perform some baptisms.  On October 26th, my wife and I, with Native Missionary Erick Sanchez, journeyed five hours away to the city of Pidaera in the department of Lempira, Honduras.  Far off in the distance we could see two volcanoes in the country of El Salvador.  In the small aldea (suburb) of El Carrizal we performed a baptism service.  In all, four were baptized by Erick Sanchez and myself. One was an eighty-one-year-old Indian woman!

            Apart from the soulwinning and baptizing, God’s also used us to get out many boxes of New Testaments and tracts to other Missionaries and Local Pastors here.  I’ve also had many open doors to preach in different areas!

           

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

            Because He loved me enough to die for me,

July - August 2005

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!

May - June 2005

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord,

            Greetings from rainy Honduras!  It’s been very wet here as the rainy season glooms upon us.  Our yard is like a swamp, and we’ve had to call off church service several times because the roads are just too muddy!  (When your 4x4 truck gets stuck, then one should not be driving!)

            My wife and I arrived here in Honduras the 9th of May after enjoying our Honeymoon in Miami Beach, Florida.  We returned home to find that our water pump burned out and we were without water for over a month.  We learned to take “bird baths” (bathing in a bucket of water), which weren’t too fun.

            We eventually found a new pump and pressure tank combo in Mexico for cheap (about 300 dollars) when we drove there with Missionary Homero Romero to pick us some Gospel literature in Spanish.  We met Bro. William Park in the mountain town of San Cristobal de Las Casas in the department of Chiapas.  He gave us many boxes of New Testament’s, John and Romans, and booklet tracts.  Both Homero and I filled our Suburbans with as much as we could carry.

            While in San Cristobal, I had the opportunity to preach for Bro. Carlos and Octavio Ruiz, brothers, who have been working in the area for about eight years planting a church.  My message was on the beautiful type of Eleazer searching for a bride for Isaac, and how that corresponds to the Holy Spirit looking for a bride for Christ.

            June 13th marked a momentous occasion, as we finally were able to install our new water pump.  Both my wife and I were very happy to be able to shower for a change in our own house.  (Bird baths are for the birds!)

            Bible Institute ended on the 25th of June.  We had about fifteen students begin the semester, but only four finished.  We plan to start again in August.  Please pray that the students would be faithful.

            The work in Quebrada de Lajas is moving forward.  We have a lot of children and teenagers attending, but it’s hard to get the adults to come.  I’ve been teaching through Genesis and showing them the types of Christ in the Bible.  They are really enjoying it.  Please pray that their parents would get saved and come also.

            Bro. Mike Lane (the other Independent Missionary here that I’m working with) has started construction on a Church Chapel close by for the “New Hope Baptist Church.”  We are still meeting in my home, but once the building is completed, we’ll meet there.  Please pray about Quebrada de Lajas, and if I should build there (we are now currently renting a building).  There are several options, and several places where property is cheap.  A nice spot is only 2000 dollars for a large tract of land (about three acres in size).

            Thus, May and June have been interesting and fun months (except for the lack of water).  My wife and I have been sick off and on, trying to get used to the germs in Honduras, but we’re faring well.  We’ve also had a great time traveling and distributing New Testaments to others.  We also received a shipment of 5000 Chick tracts, which we are now stamping with my address and look forward to getting out.

            Thanks again for all your continued prayers and support!

            Because of Him who loved us enough to die for us,

March - April 2005

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord,

            Greetings once again!  I hope you are walking in the joy and admiration of Him who loved you enough to die for you.  The Lord has richly blessed these past two months.

            On March 6th, Luisa Lopez trusted the Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life in church service at my house.

           

            A week later I journeyed with some men from our little church in Quebrada de Lajas to visit Congolon, Honduras.  It was there that the famous Indian Chief Lempira died fighting the Spanish Catholic Conquistadors who were trying to put his people in bondage.  We passed out tracts there and in the towns of Erandique and Gracias.

            Our Bible Institute started again on March 12th.  This time we are meeting at my house.  There are 14 students.  I am teaching two classes: Evangelism and Preacher and His Problems.

            On March 14th, I led a 53 year old man to the Lord named Gamilo Gomez Garcia at the local jail in La Esperanza.  A Medical Brigade came from the states, and I worked with them for two days translating for the doctors.  While checking everyone’s vision, I won Mr. Gomez to the Lord, helping him to see — both physically and spiritually!

            Easter Sunday I brought the two churches I’m working with together at my house.  We ate dinner on the grounds after the preaching, and the people were very excited.

            March 28th, Missionary Robert Baker and I witnessed to twenty two year old Bessy Zelaya.  She attended a Baptist Church for many years but never trusted Christ Jesus as her Saviour.  (There are many people like that).  After a half hour, I led her to the saving knowledge of the truth through her faith in the precious blood. 

            On April 10th, I married the most wonderful young lady in the whole world — Laura Beth Flood.  Brother Buddy Maynard (from the Heritage Boys Home) performed the ceremony at the Lighthouse Baptist Church in Panama City, Florida.  After the “I do’s,” he handcuffed us.  We laughed because the word for spouses in Spanish is the same word for handcuffs. 

            March and April were very fruitful months with souls saved.  And God finally answered all of your prayers by blessing me with a real jewel of a wife!  Please pray for us as we are currently selling most of our stuff on Ebay before returning to Honduras the beginning of May.   Missionary Mike Lane is preaching for me while I’m away.  Please pray for him also.    

            As always, thanks again for your continued prayers and support!

Dear Fellow Prayer Warriors,

  

            Greetings in that blessed name above every other name — the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! 

            The Lord blessed in February, and I am excited to report all the wonderful things that occurred in this short, fruitful month. 

            The sixth, we started officially as a church in Quebrada de Lajas under the name of Iglesia Biblica Bautista (Bible Baptist Church) with eleven members!  What a blessing! 

            Another Missionary here is conducting services in my house, and I’m helping him.  We officially started here also under the name of Iglesia Bautista Nueva Esperanza (New Hope Baptist Church).  Please pray for these works that God would strengthen them and we would see them continue to grow.

            I won several people to the Lord this month.  On the sixth, I led Hector Leonidas Vasquez through the scriptures after church service at my house, and he trusted in the shed blood for eternal life! 

            The 20th, I led Ms. Liksa Sanchez to the Lord after our meeting in Quebrada de Lajas.  And finally on the 27th, I won Miguel Angel Vasquez and Adam Roberto Dominguez to Christ after our evening service at my house.

            As always, thanks again for all your continued prayers and support!  February has been a productive month, and it’s been a huge blessing to see two works officially started as Churches, but most importantly, to see Hondurans saved.

            My prayer is that God will continue to bless you as you serve Him!            

            Because He died for you and me,

January 2005

Dear Fellowlabourers in the work of the Lord,

            I arrived home to Honduras on the third of this month after nearly a month’s furlough in the United States.  My time there was well spent, and I was blessed to see some new churches take me on for support! 

            Upon my arrival here, Missionary Mike Lane picked me up at the airport, and told me that the Baptist Camp behind my house was taken from him, and that we couldn’t have services there anymore.  Thus, we’ve moved our meetings to my house on Wednesday and Sunday night until he can build a chapel up the road on some property he’s bought there.  Soon, we are planning to start a Sunday morning service, of which I’ll be teaching.

            The first week of this month was hectic.  I invited Dr. Kent Hovind from Creation Science Evangelism, based in Pensacola, Florida, to come and present his seminars about “Dinosaurs,”  “Creation,”  “The Age of the Earth,” and “The Dangers of Evolution.”  Myself and at least three other men have been working on translating his slides into Spanish.  This is tedious work, and I’ve spent more than a few 13 hour days on them.  Our desire was to tape his presentation with someone translating into Spanish so the Latino world would have access to his valuable information about God’s Creation.  And praise be to God, we were able to do just that!

           

            Dr. Hovind came the 16th-19th, and we were very fortunate to find some great cameras and camera men, two superb translators, and a hospitable Baptist church in the city of San Pedro Sula which helped with the recording.   These Spanish versions of his seminars will be edited and ready for sale tentatively around June or July of this year.  I look forward to seeing how they turned out, as well as getting them into the hands of Spanish speaking people in both VHS and DVD format.

            Bro. Allen Johnson, Spanish Department Director of Landmark Baptist Church in Haines City, Florida, was one of the translators at the Seminar.  He did a great job, and I am certain we couldn’t have done it without him.  After the conference, I brought him home with me to La Esperanza and had him preach on the 20th at our Thursday night service in Quebrada de Lajas.  He preached a powerful message, and a young lady named Laura Hernadez walked the aisle and came down to get saved.  I had the privilege of leading her to the Lord shortly thereafter.  What a blessing!

            So ends the first month of the new year.  God has blessed last year exceeding abundantly above and beyond what I could have thought or asked for!  And what a blessing to see this month start off with a bang with one saved, some new churches supporting me, Hovind’s material in Spanish, and the starting of a Sunday morning service in my house. 

             Thanks again for all your continued prayers and support!                      

            Because He shed His blood to atone for our sins,

November - December 2004

Dear Brethren,

            Greetings once more in the name of our most Glorious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  So much has happened in the last two months of 2004, that it’s hard to know where to begin.  God has been good with allowing me to win some folks to the Lord, as well as baptize some of my converts here in Honduras. 

            On November 18th, 2004, I had the privilege of winning Olbin and Enrique Hernandez to Christ after our regular Thursday night service in Quebrada de Lajas! 

                       

            Thanksgiving was spent with Missionary Bob Baker in the area of El Tomate, just outside of Olancho, Honduras.  We had a great time of fellowship, as well as some very good turkey and dressing!  The day after I spent with Missionary Bill Kepler examining his printing ministry.  We worked well into the night printing a thousand copies of my book about “Marriage” in Spanish to give away here.  Most Hondurans don’t understand Marriage (as they usually are accustomed to just “living together” in their culture), and my book shows them their need to be married, rather than living in sin, and how Marriage is a type of Christ and the Church.

            December 5th, I held a baptism service.  I was blessed to baptize nine people!  We used a church in town with a baptismal pool for the service, and I preached a message about “The Gospel.”  At the invitation, a young lady named Cynthia Sanchez came forward to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour.  She was baptized the same day along with: Jose Adonay Garcia Gomez, Olbin Francisco Herandez, Jose Edwin (Eddie) Arriaga, Emerson Neptali Sanchez, Olga Rubi Arriaga, Argentina Diaz, Rosinda Anabel Garcia Gomez, Zoila Esperanza Garcia Gomez, Jenny Cecilia Sanchez, and Cintia Balesca Sanchez.

            The 6th of December I left for the States on a brief furlough.  I had many churches to visit and preach in during this time, and Missionary Mike Lane filled in for me at Quebrada de Lajas while I was gone.  When I called back from the states, I was overjoyed to hear that he lead Marlon Alfredo Lopez Ariaga (saved 12-12-04) and Marcia Senaida Hernandez (saved 12-19-04) to the Lord in services during my absence.

            While in the states, I had the wonderful blessing of having a few new churches take me on for support.  I also have the great privilege of informing you that on the 31st of December, I became engaged to Ms. Laura Beth Flood of Sarasota, Florida!

                       

            Thus, November and December were very fruitful months! Not only did I see people saved and baptized, but I’ve also been blessed with a fiancé.  Thanks again for all your prayers and support, and I pray the Lord will continue to guide, lead, and direct you as you trust and serve him!

            Because of Christ Jesus our Lord,

            Robert Breaker III

October 2004

Dear Fellow Prayer Warriors,

Greetings once again in the name of our glorious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who loved us enough to die for us! The month of October was one of the most fruitful months of my ministry here in Honduras. God has blessed, and I’ve enjoyed reaping the harvest of the many months of planting and watering.

On the third, I lead two to the Lord in the little village of Quebrada de Lajas where I am working after Sunday afternoon service. Their names were Adonai Garcia, age 13, and Olga Arriaga, age 11. On the 21st, I had the opportunity to lead Olga’s brother Eddie, age 18, to the Lord after he walked the aisle in our Thursday night meeting!

I have also been working on the local gun repair man in town. I like firearms, and I’m constantly visiting him to see what new guns he has to work on, not to mention have him do some work on mine. After witnessing to him for some time, he finally said he’d go with me to services at the Baptist Camp behind my house. I took him steadily for a month, and finally on the 17th, he walked the aisle after service and the other Missionary led him to Christ! Praise the Lord!

Not only did God bless me with spiritual blessings this month, but with a few physical blessings as well. On the 7th, I bought a Pickup. It’s an ‘85 Toyota and it’s a 4x4. Another Missionary was leaving the field, and he sold it to me for a good price. I’ve been busy working on it and fixing it up (as it had many small things wrong with it). It’s really been a blessing in using it to bring people to service over the horrible, muddy roads that lead to our little chapel in Quebrada de Lajas.

On a lighter note, the Bible Institute Classes have been suspended, as we’ve been kicked out of our building. Thus, I’m waiting for the director to find another place so we can continue. Please pray for this.

Also in my bi-weekly Bible Study, I have finally finished teaching verse by verse from the book of 1 Corinthians. We are about to begin the book of Romans.

The twenty-third, I was invited to go with another Missionary to the little village of Sapotillo out in the mountains of Opalaca. We drove two and a half hours from where I live, and then we had to park my vehicle and walk another two hours up and over the mountains (an ascent of a mile in altitude) to the work there. There were about 30 people there total, and we all had a great time of fellowship, as the other Missionary preached and showed them a Gospel film. We also saw one saved!

The 29th, I was asked to debate an American Missionary about the Spanish Bible Issue in front of over one hundred Spanish Speaking Pastors. As most of you know, most Missionaries to Spanish speaking countries use the corrupt 1960 version, which is little more than an RSV in Spanish by the confession of the men who did the work on it (see the quote below by Jose Flores). The man I debated claimed to be an expert on the subject of which Bible in Spanish was the right one and why. I soon found out he was nothing more than an apostate that used a version not because it came from the right texts, but because everyone else did.

I was sick during the debate, and didn’t do as good a job as I had hoped. But that was okay, as the man I was debating did a wonderful job of exposing himself for the apostate he is. His argument was thus:

He said he believed the King James Bible is the word of God in English because it came from the right texts (the Greek Textus Receptus for the New Testament and the Hebrew Masoretic Text for the Old). He then said that these were the only preserved word of God, and that no translation from them could ever be perfect (the KJV included). But then he said he believed that the 1909 and 1960 Spanish Bibles (based on the Critical Texts, and not the texts the King James came from) were the “preserved word of God in Spanish” for the Spanish speaking people. He then admitted that they had errors in them, but stood firmly in saying that Spanish speakers should take a stand for one or the other, and defend them as God’s word.

When I was given the chance to speak, I simply told them the truth about the 1909 and 1960 Spanish Bibles, and how they most certainly do not read with the right texts, but rather follow the “Critical Texts” of men on many occasions. I read the following quote from Mr. Jose Flores, who was a “consultant” on the 1960 Spanish Bible:

“ONE PRINCIPLE ADDED TO THE FIRST LIST OF THE REINA-VALERA 1960 REVISION COMMITTEE WAS THAT WHEREVER THE REINA-VALERA [1909] VERSION HAS DEPARTED FROM THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS TO FOLLOW A BETTER TEXT, WE DID NOT RETURN TO THE RECEPTUS. POINT #12 OF THE WORKING PRINCIPLES STATES: IN CASES WHERE THERE IS A DOUBT OVER THE CORRECT TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL, WE CONSULTED PREFERENTIALLY THE ENGLISH REVISED VERSION OF 1885, THE AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION OF 1901, THE REVISED STANDARD VERSION OF 1946 AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRITICAL COMMENTARY.”

I then showed them some verses in the 1909 and 1960 that read with the Critical Texts to make my point. I closed by showing them the 1602 R Spanish revision of the original 1602 Spanish Bible corrected with the Textus Receptus, and how this was the only Spanish version based entirely on the Majority Texts.

After our time ended to present our case, we were allowed five minutes each to ask each other questions. His questions to me were, “Do you believe the KJV is inspired, and do you believe that the italics in the KJV are inspired?” These questions I refused to answer, as the debate was supposed to be about the Spanish Bible, and not the English.

My questions to him were, “Do you believe that a translation can be perfect? His answer was a dogmatic “No!” I then asked him, “Where then is the perfect and complete preserved word of God today?” He replied, “In the Hebrew Masorectic Text and the Greek Textus Receptus.” I continued by asking, “If you use the King James in English because it is from the right texts, why don’t you use a version in Spanish that comes from the same texts, rather than from the Critical texts?” His answer was a lie. He said that the 1960 and 1909 are from the Textus Receptus and Hebrew Masorectic Texts, and not from the Critical Texts at all. I went on asking, “Sir, do you speak Hebrew or Greek?” His answer was “No!” I then asked, “Dear sir, if you believe that the Greek TR and Hebrew Masoretic Text is the pure preserved word of God, and that there can never exist a pure and perfect word of God translated from them, why then don’t you learn and then teach and preach Hebrew and Greek?” This really set the crowd on edge. I watched several men shake their head in approval of the question.

Finally, I asked him, “Do you think that God would be happy with a version of the Bible that contains Critical Text translations?” He became angry and would not answer, but then asked me, “Would you reject a Bible if it only had one Critical Text reading in it?” I reminded him it was my turn to ask questions, not his, and I countered with, “Would you drink a glass of water if it had only one drop of poison in it?” Time was called, and that was the end of the debate.

I came to the following conclusions about the man, and I noticed some of the people in the crowd came to the same conclusions, as they came up to speak with me about it afterwards. They said, “He claims that a translation can never be perfect, and that the only perfect word of God preserved today is in Hebrew and Greek. Thus he doesn’t have a perfect Bible, nor can he read it! So is the confession of an apostate who recommends a Bible by his own opinion, rather than studies the facts, and stands for a Bible because of the them.

The Apostate

By Robert Breaker III

The apostate loves the applaud of men, he loves to hear their praise.

He stands for nothing at all, but claims he stands firmly by God’s grace.

He claims that God inspired for all his precious, holy word,

But then he says to believe it can be translated correctly is absurd.

He calls a “version” the word of God, though error he knows it holds,

But he recommends a translation or two, if it helps him meet his goals.

He claims the preserved word of God only in Hebrew and Greek are found,

Yet then he claims the word of God in another language is not bound.

Claiming preservation only in the original languages and texts,

He then confesses that he can’t even read the languages in which they exist.

If it weren’t bad enough, he lies about the bible in which he does prefer,

Saying it came from the “better texts” when the proof does not concur.

Further he will boldly fight, and defend his blessed version,

Even though the truth will show, it’s nothing but a perversion.

He claims “fruit shows my version best, it’s used by the majority!”

But he forgets to check that the texts it comes from are the minority.

Thus, the apostate states his facts:  “The translation I have is not pure,”

He continues by telling us, “Of the truth no one can be sure.”

The preserved word of God he cannot read, but he recommends it as best. 

Thus, his thesis is: “I can never know just exactly what God said!”

I’d rather follow an honest man, for an apostate cannot help but lie,

And his ignorance marks him well, for the truth he cannot find.

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!

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!!!

            Because of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour,
