“Changing Our World One Life at a Time”
October has been a very productive month for our ministry. We are making a lot of progress on repairing our church ceiling. We had a team remove the lowered ceiling, and we have been removing all the cracked pieces of cement, and now we are filling in all the holes. After the holes are filled, we will resurface the ceiling. This process will fix about 80% of the ceiling and for the rest ceiling that is structurally unsound we are now looking into reinforcing the ceiling with steel beams instead of replacing it. After this very costly repair, we need to fix the original problem of our second story leaking tin roof and repair the leaking second story floor. Our tin roof needs to be replaced as the structure is rotten. Then we need to close in the open sides of the second story that allows rain to enter. We need your prayers that God will provide for us. Our goal is to completely fix all these problems so that the next generation will have a structurally sound church. Thank you, God, for what you are about to do.

We were fortunate to receive a donation from Texas to purchase bibles. We bought enough bibles for all our children and to give away through our outreach ministries. This past Sunday, at one of our churches, we gave away almost twenty bibles. God is so good to us.

We have been praying that God would send us some help, and God answered our prayers and sent us a Mission Team from The Church in the City. They worked so hard and had such wonderful attitudes. They cut trees, cleaned churches, and removed our lowered ceiling in our main Church in Villa De Alvarez. With their help, we were able to do several months of work in just a few days. Thank you, Church in the City, for a job well done.

To show how thankful we were for the mission team, a lady from our church catered a meal for the team. She went all out with table cloths, servers, real plates, and nice coffee. We are more of the plasticware and disposable plates kind of people, but that day we ate like kings, and everything was great. Finally, we were able to use our new kitchen in The Ranch. With all the projects we have, it took us some time to put the final touches on kitchen/Sunday school class. Liz and a few ladies from church prepared a wonderful meal. We sat at the table, enjoyed each other and grew our community. Many of our people suffer, and it was nice to treat them to a good meal.

WITH A LOT OF BACK BREAKING WORK, WE FINISHED the walkway to our new children’s class in our church in Coquimatlan. It rained during our first service, but no one had to walk in slippery mud. The volunteers from our church did a great job. I was the youngest person, but the two older men outworked me. One man was 72 years old.

Changing our World One Life at a Time

We had a very busy month, and praise God we are getting it done. First, we are going to have to move our Sunday Morning Service from our Church in Villa de Alvarez to our Church in Coquimatlan, because we need to chip all the broken cement off our ceiling. Besides being unsafe, we also need to check the rebar to determine how much of the ceiling we will need to be replaced. This is not the major repair, it is the preparation for the major repair. To prepare for our morning services in Coquimatlan we needed to put in several wall mounted fans, and convert an old chicken coop into a Sunday school class for our older children. We replaced the dirt floor with a brick floor. It took me and my Uncle Pepi over a week to get the room ready. The roof had to be repaired and the room had to be wired. It was a hard, dirty job, and the class room, which no longer stinks, will be ready for our first service this week. Please keep us in your prayers.

This Past month, in addition to celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary, we had the privilege of preaching in Guadalajara. We really enjoy speaking in different churches, and seeing old friends and family. Lis is still the better preacher because my Spanish is an acquired taste, and it takes little while for people to fully understand me. In my home church it is not a problem, but with new audiences it is more work. Praise God I am improving but I still have a long way to go.

Our Church in SUCHITLAN has finally finished the walls on their new Sunday classroom for children. It is a slow project, because they can only build when the have extra money for materials. They have also resurfaced the front walls of the church and put in two nice windows. It looks better and is also cooler. Their pastors are doing a great job, and we try to visit them once a month. We are still praying for pastors in our other churches, because they need more than what we are able to do for them.

The ranch is still going strong and we finally have our new kitchen up and running. It has been a long process since we have so much grass to cut during the rainy season. We will have our first meal soon. Lis has been cooking everything with an electric skillet, but now we have a stove and gas grill to make things easier. We ate hotdogs on the 16th of September to celebrate the Mexican day of Independence. In October we will use the new kitchen to feed our people.

“Changing our World one life at a time”

We are thankful that we were able to attend a Pastor’s conference at, More Life Church, in Morelia. The sessions were powerful, and we learned many things. It was nice to get away with Lis and hear others preach. Back home me and Lis rotate preaching, and I enjoy Lis's sermons, but it is nice once a year to sit together and hear others preach. Thank you for sponsoring our much needed get away.

Two weeks ago, shortly after we ended our service, Part of the ceiling fell, and thankfully there was no one on the stage. The falling cement could have hurt someone. It fell right where we preached, however at the same time, it missed the pulpit and nearby instruments. Nothing was damaged except for the lowered ceiling. We are in the slow process of getting the permits to start the repair. Since our church is a public building there is a massive amount of paper work required. As you are able, please donate to our roof fund. We will be helping the church pay for this very expensive repair.

We are making a lot of progress at the ranch. We planted several trees two years ago and the are finally giving us some small amounts of shade. We planted them beside the church and in a few more years theywill reduce the heat for our services. The riding lawnmower is saving us so much time. This past week I was able to cut the soccer field in the small town near our ranch. Several people have thanked me for cutting it. I am glad we are able serve the people in our small community.

Our men and woman’s connection groups continue to grow. The games, food and bible study seem to make a nice mix and our people are starting to invite others. It is a safe laid atmosphere that allows us to build community and minister to others. The young ones love the food so much that they eat as much as the adults. Everyone brings something to eat or drink and the cost for the meal is minimal. Several of our people have difficult lives and they often suffer, so try to make the meals nicer than what they normally eat at home. Several of our people only meat twice a week, and we have meat at each meal. The smiles on the faces of the children as they eat are priceless.

Preaching God´s word to God´s is one of my favorite things to do. I have come a long way with my Spanish, but I still need a lot of work to speak correctly. It is getting easier, and Lis helps me often. She proofs my notes in Spanish and helps me find the correct words while I am preaching. We make a great team. I thank the Lord for my beautiful helpmate.

We need your prayers for Fernando. He is from our Ranch Church, and he is very sick. His kidneys are failing and he is only twenty years old. He has been in and out of the hospital for months. He had an infection from where he was working, and the hospital gave him the wrong medicine and damaged his kidneys. They keep doing studies and sending him to different hospitals and they can not see to find out what is causing the damage. With no workers comp or malpractice suit available here, the are receiving very bad care. They have very little resources and are unable to pay for better care. We are helping as we can, but it looks like he will die if God does not do a miracle and heal him. He is on Dialysis, but they only gave him one, and he is starting to have problems with other major organs. The quality of care for low-income people is very bad. The hospitals run out of medicines and the people suffer. Please keep Fernando in your prayers. We hope in the Lord, and are thankful for his presence in these difficult times.

“Changing our world One Life at a Time”

We are so thankful for our new riding mower. It saves us so much time and energy. This week I used our mower to cut half of the soccer field in Astilleros. It took about an hour and the children were playing on it within an hour. This was a huge testimony for our church. Since there is no one to cut the grass, they are unable to use the field. Serving the community shows them the Love of God and, thank you for helping us help others.
Celebrating the 4th in Mexico is really different. Most Mexicans are aware of our Day of Independence, but no one celebrates it for obvious reasons. This year we flew Old Glory and cooked out next to a swimming pool. It was a real nice celebration. I am proud to be an American and thankful for the freedom to celebrate it in Mexico.
We met with the structural engineers and, we have a major problem with our church ceiling/ second story floor. We will have to remove and replace about a third of our cement ceiling because, the rebar is rusted and cracking. This means we will have to meet in another place for months. This is a public building and a major repair that will need several permits and paperwork. Please pray that we can get the paper work done and raise the money. We are thankful that God is bigger than our problems, and we excited to see all the miracles it will take to complete this project. . If you would like to start donating please designating your donations to The Villa de Alvarez Church Roof Project. It will take us time to even get an idea how much this cost due to the enormous amount of paperwork it requires. Please note this a project of Church in Mexico and we will help as we are able . Keep us in your prayers.
The rain has made our ranch very green, and with our new riding mower things look great. Our freshly cut field draws attention from all who pass by our ranch. No one cuts grass here, so our beautiful lawn makes our church stand out. We are going to start more activities like movie nights and pancake dinners to reach more people. Pray us as we try grow our church.
Our Church in Suchitlan celebrated its 46th anniversary. Our pastors Seco and Melly are doing a great Job there, and it was so nice to celebrated with them. They have started to build a new Sunday school class room to accommodate their growing children’s ministry.
A few weeks ago, in our church in Coquimatlan we had a tremendous storm that knocked out the power several times. The wind picked up and it was hard to hear as the sound system stopped, but at the same time we kept praising the Lord and we ignored the power outages and the wind. We did not miss a beat and the power came back on for the preaching. When the presence of God is powerful, the distractions of this world fade away.
I am thankful that God is bigger than our problems. I am thankful God allows us to keep ministering in Mexico. I am thankful that we will have several people to baptize soon. I am thankful That we get to lead four churches. I am thankful that God has always provided for everything we needed. I am thankful That our Leadership in our churches are three generations strong. The Children of our current leaders are stepping up and help us in our services and the going out into the streets and evangelizing others. The fruit of our fruit is a beautiful thing to see. Thank you for your prayers and support.

“Changing Our World One Life at a Time”

This past month was a very exciting time, a time of great blessing.
It was nice to return to Dallas and Tyler County. I really enjoy my yearly visits to the States. It's nice to return and be treated like you never left. Thanks everyone for making each trip so special.
I also had the privilege of speaking at so many wonderful churches that generously supported our ministry. A special thanks to Tyler River of Life, United Christian Fellowship, Family Community, Community Church of Jesus Christ, Hope Fellowship, and Centro Cristiano Vida Abundante. Your support keeps me and Lis in the Mission field. Thank you for covering us with your prayers

Thanks to your support, we bought a Husgvarna riding mower last week, and cut the grass at the ranch. Normally it takes eight hours to cut the grass and it took me an hour and a half to cut everything including the field. Me and My uncle Pepe cut the grass every week for 3 months and that takes us a day. Now, it will only take me about 2 hours to cut and w**d everything. So, we will have a lot of time during the rainy season for other repairs and maintenance on the ranch. Thank you for making our lives so much easier.

While in West Virginia, I always stay with Mike and Chris Lenz. They are the best host, and I enjoy visiting them each year. There is a peace in there home that allows me to rest every part of my life. It is nice to have good friends you can always count on. Thanks for taking such good care of me

I also had a wonderful time in Dallas with Sammy, Josh, and Alexis. Sam and Josh are both doing good. Sam and Alexis were house sitting a beautiful house on a lake while I was up. I felt like I was in a vacation home. It had a private dock that we fished from. Alexis was this fishing queen, and I only caught a few very small fish. The lake view from the house was incredible. It was so nice to fish with my boys since we have not fished in a long time.

I want to say a special thanks to Lis, who took care of everything while I was in the States. She is my best friend, and we do everything together, so being apart is not easy for us. I praise the Lord for a nice trip, and praise the Lord I am back home with my wonderful wife.
Now that I am back in Colima, we have a lot to do. This Sunday we have our 47th anniversary of our church in Coquimatlan, and Lis is preparing a nice meal for us. We also, have a pray meeting this Friday in the Villa De Alvarez and next Thurs day in Coquimatlan. This next Saturday we our Men and women groups and then we Celebrate Father’s Day on the following Sunday
Thank you all for your support. Remember the greatest thing you can do is pray daily for us. The things that need to happen in our ministry only occur when God’s people pray. We need the Lord to cleanse our land and stop the violence. We are claiming 2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJ If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Our faith is only in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Our Help will only come from above, but we need your daily prayers for our ministries and protection. Thank you all for praying

Thank you all for your prayers. After a cat scan, Xray, colonoscopy, and blood work, we still do not know what is causing my intestinal problems. I have severe bloating, and pain. I have been sick for a month and this past week I have hardly been able to sleep. Praise God, we know it is not a tumor or blockage. Praise God for my healing that will come. Praise God I have only been slowed down, and praise God today I feel better than yesterday; Keep praying, because better days are Coming.

In a few weeks I will be returning to West Virginia for my yearly visit, and I look forward to seeing you all. Here is my schedule Sunday Morning may 17thTyler River of Life, Sunday evening Hope Fellowship, Wed 20th Wick Community Church, and Sunday Morning May 24th United Christian Fellowship. I look forward to sharing how God has used our Ministry, because It has been a great year for us. See ya soon

Each year we have the privilege of hosting our pastor’s meal

in our Church in Suchitlan. Our Local Pastors, Seco and Meli, always do a great job in hosting this event. Lis and all our ladies worked hard to take care of our Guest. We had over 60 people for the meal. The worship service and prayer time was a real blessing. Many pastors from small churches drove hours to be with us, and it is so nice to be a part of something bigger than our individual churches.

This is the view from behind our church in Coquimatlan. The tall building is the back of our church and the small building is where we want to put our Children’s Class. For safety reason we moved our Children’s class to side of the church, and when the rain comes, they will be in a mud pit. We are trying to raise $6000 dollars to completely replace the roof, pour a cement floor and put in a restroom with septic tank. Our kids or meeting under a canopy, and if it rains hard, we have to cancel the class. Please pray for this important project.

This is a picture of a hero of the faith. This young man is leading worship at his father’s funeral. This is a very hard thing to do. His father, Paulino, was one of my best friends. Paulino was a lover of people, and his kindness and servant heart changed the lives of many people. He is greatly missed; please pray for his family during the difficult time

We have made a lot of progress at the ranch, and we now have a kitchen in our multipurpose class room. Thank you for all your help. We still need to put in the ceiling fan and connect the stove. We are hoping to purchase a used fridge in the future. It will be nice to cook in an enclosed kitchen. Food and fellowship will bring us all closer together and closer to God. Thank you for blessing us.

Finaly, we are trying to raised money to buy Husqvarna Ts148 which cost $ 7,301.01 Dollars US. My health is making it hard to cut several acres each week with a push mower. We will also buy a small trailer to help us carry items like rocks and cement. I am getting old and a riding lawn mower will help us get more done in less time. Please pray for this project and help as you can.

We continue to feed many people each month, and your support helps ease the suffering of many struggling families. When I was growing up, we did not have many snacks in our home, so as an adult I always keep our cookie jar full. We have many visitors at our home, and thanks to your support I can always offer them a snack. Sometimes it is the small things that show people we love them. Thank you putting smiles on the faces of people you will never meet. Please keep our ministry in your prayers. The most important thing you can do is pray for Me and Lis. We lead a lot of people, and we must be led by God. Pray God gives us wisdom and discernment.
