Three youth camps This summer Christine and I had the opportunity to be counselors at three youth camps. Sometimes we feel like the camps teach us more than we teach them. We pray that someday we will see these young people grow up to walk closely with God and serve Him. Read more
A thrilling note A young man who has been attending gospel meetings for the past few months, came daily to ask several questions about salvation. A thrilling note is that he has professed to be saved on Sunday night. Pray that he continues on well. Read more
Arúmbaro Pray for the work in Arúmbaro, where we have lost the majority of the children who attended our classes on Saturdays. The official religion began a competing kids’ activity to take them away. We continue with the small group of adults, and are encouraged with their growth and insight. Pray that the Lord would be at work in this village,… Read more
Different neighbourhoods The rent contract at the hall in Irapuato ended in May. Since the Lord has been leading us to invest more time in the believers from La Purísima, we did not renew it. In Irapuato, the work continues with one weekly Bible study in the homes of various contacts. We pray this will allow us to reach people in several… Read more

A men’s group To encourage maturity in the church, we are starting a men’s group. We have several services during the week, but they are mostly attended by women. If, by God’s grace, we could reach the men, it could have a rippling effect on everyone in each family. Please pray for fruit. Read more

Some parents sat down with the kids and seemed to be listening with all their heart. Please continue to pray for… Read more
Common interests Linda had the opportunity to reach out into our community. She wanted to teach a cooking and healthy diet class and open it up to neighbours. So many believers drift away from their unsaved neighbours and friends as the years go by. We pray that by helping them with common interests we can re-open those avenues of friendship. Read more
We pray for fruit We continue to visit a rather unkempt and generally unevangelized neighbourhood, to distribute gospel calendars and tracts with address labels of our meeting times and place. This has been going on for more than 18 months. A weekly Bible and evangelistic study has been formed in that area and we pray for fruit. Read more
Easter holidays Easter holidays provide a great opportunity for vacation Bible classes. This year, we invested our time in La Purísima. This is an extremely religious village, so we were glad to see 59 people the first night. It was obvious there was a lot of opposition and the last day we had only twenty attendees. The students that came the last… Read more

If they don’t feel comfortable, they can help with meal prep or prayerfully accompany… Read more
