In other words, from Buckhorn, New Mexico to Autlan de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico to Bejing, China.
I just got back from a month in Mexico, 34 days to be exact. We handed out about 2000 Gospel tracts I designed. I preached to the Assembly of God church and a Charismatic ladiesgroup, with invited lost people, both meetings in Ajijic and made up of gringos. I preached in a Pentecostal church in Chapala, a Baptist church, a youth group, a Pilgrim’s Progress study group (about Evangelist) and a prison, all Mexicans and all in Autlan; preached twice in Mexico City, preached in the open air in the plaza and in a Fundamentalist Baptist church, both in Cardel, Vera Cruz. Of course, we witnessed everywhere we went. I assisted in a baptism in the Gulf of Mexico, was immersed again myself by a rogue wave and lost my new glasses, which I just got to replace the ones I stepped on a month ago. I LOST MY GLASSES IN THE OCEAN! I said “Lord, You know all things; You know I can’t replace them again, and You know where they are.” I didn’t even ask. Five minutes later, one of the ladies we had just baptized found them.
It rained every day I was in Mexico; was cool and comfortable. We even drove through a patch of freak snow on the way to Vera Cruz. It was very hot in VC, but we made the baptism last as long as possible.
I was able to initiate three Pastors Conferences, one in Vera Cruz in October, one in Autlan in November and one for next year in Guadalajara. See the agenda I laid out for the conferences below. A very, very productive trip.
My First Time
September 11-24 will be my first time to go to China. I have been praying for China for years, especially for the persecuted Christians. I won’t be able to say much about the trip, before or after. Just know I’ll be doing what I do. You’ll be praying as you always do, please. Not to sound too mysterious, but emails travel the world rapidly and have been known to fall into unsympathetic hands. I don’t want to put any of our friends at risk. I’ll let you know what I can when I get back. The trip costs $2500.
Thank you for your prayers, your support and your friendship. If you would like a real life example of how crucial, how life and death your prayers are, email me personally and I’ll fill you in.
