Update from Jacksons - Mexico

"If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it; get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again."

C. H. Spurgeon

Missionary On Loan - DJ Alfonso and I continue our fishing adventures in Buenos Aires; we are now seeking more aggressively a young man we can train to go with us. Alfonso gets so exited every time we go out that he knows this will really build up a young man for future ministry. We have our eyes on Edgar and Antonio.

Pastor Antonio, Alfonso and I are working closely with our brothers and sisters in Mascarenas to revive the work out there. So far Sunday school is now Sabbath school, because that's when they're able to lead it. Worship is now on Thursdays, again, that's when their able to  hold it.

Alfonso and I are going to begin visitation out there as well, to win new people as well as train some of the men. We sure need a lot of prayer for this, we all know by now that all of our efforts are in vain without it.
Our family has now almost doubled. We are now fostering Cesar and Fernanda a brother and sister from Obregon, Mexico. (click to google it) Gracie is in high heaven of course, as there are four kids now going to church with us. One of them is Nancy our neighbor.

We are going camping this week up to flagstaff AZ. We leave tomorrow and get back probably Thursday. It'll be a good time to get to know one another.

Pray in faith for our patiance, we're not a young as we used to be.

Your fellow workers,

Darwin, Mary Ann and Gracie Jackson (Cesar and Fernanda too!)

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
