Dear Prayer
Supporters:
We would like to announce the engagement of our oldest daughter, Rachel, to Michael Glover from
Phoenix, Arizona. Their wedding will be
September 7th of this year 2013.
We are very, very happy for them to begin a new life together serving
the Lord. They will be married at Grace
Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho where Rachel has been teaching in the
Christian Day School. We are looking
forward to being with family during this very special time.
Thank you to those of you who have responded to
our furlough dates. We appreciate the meetings we were able to
schedule and ask your prayers as we try and coordinate the trips between the
churches that support us in the east and in the west, as well as attending our
daughter’s wedding. If you would like us to come and report please contact us
at the email address at the top of this letter.
The men at Rayo
Cortado have continued to stay enthusiastic and interested in sharing God’s
Word evangelistically in a chronological manner to the lost. People have really been responding to their
teachings. The desire and end result in
missions is that reproducing churches will be established. That means that the national is able to do
the work of evangelizing, discipling, and forming groups who desire to be
obedient to God and to the commands of Christ.
We co-labor with them in order for them to reach these goals. It has been such a joy to see them so excited
about what God is doing in their town, reaching out into the towns around them
and people who live in the country.
Since Joe has been meeting with them, they have not missed any meetings
on Tuesday nights. What a joy to minister
to people who desire God’s Word and to invest their time in the lives of
people. This involves meeting
different people that have come from very difficult situations. We thank
God for their commitment to learn how to deal with all of these situations and
allow God to truly “work all things together for good.”
Our co-worker Steve
Diem has been making great progress in Villa
del Totoral. He has several Bible
studies in town with men who are desiring to know what the Bible says and also another young man who trusted Christ as Savior who is being discipled. At different times in this young man’s walk
with Christ, Steve has asked Joe to share important principles from God’s Word
and experiences from Joe’s life to help this young man in his new Christian life. This young man has also invited his friends to some of
the studies and is actively witnessing for Christ. Also, Steve has been sharing the Story of
Hope ( a walk through the Bible from Genesis to Christ) with two older couples who desire to know the
whole story before they make a decision for Christ. As Steve has been meeting with them several
times a week, he has also asked Joe to join him to help with the
teaching in bringing out certain points that need to be emphasized. We are praying for the salvation of these
couples. In between these studies we
have meals with them so that Becky and Gail can get to know the couples and
minister to the wives.
