Genaro and Carmen (picture) continue to make follow up visits to those we've brought to the Lord Jesus in their neighborhood. Last Friday we built a bridge and brought Gabriel to Jesus as his only Savior and Lord. He was a faithful Catholic, yet lacked understanding of the sweet Gospel of grace that leads to assurance of the forgiveness of all sin. He and his wife are baptizing their first child in a couple of weeks. He will be studying and teaching his family from the book of John.
Our Personnel Director Christ Broderson is coming tomorrow for a week of visits. He will sit in on our meeting of local pastors on Saturday. Do pray for that meeting, we need a "manifestation of the mighty power of God."
We are praying about an agenda for visiting many of you and your churches this summer beginning in April. It's hard to believe are home assignment starts April 1, in only 10 weeks. Yikes!
Pray for our Conference February 10, 11 with our missionary brethren. It'll be our first together.
In all these things it's easy to fall back on our own zeal, energy, knowledge and experience. But only the "place of absolute and unceasing dependence on God" will see us through with victory. Bless you all for joining us there in that place, your fellow workers,
