Update August 17

Greetings in the exalted Name of Jesus, Our Lord.

Praise God for a busy, blessed week. We had 6 people pray for salvation last Sunday. "Lord, grant us more tomorrow, please."

Tuesday we had our regular Faith, Love and Hope pastors' meeting at "Linda's House." We had "carne asada" and good fellowship.

Wednesday Pastor Juan Acosta and I had to make a trip to Tepic. We went to see the brothers and check on a house that was for rent. The house was not adequate, so we still need a place to start meeting in Tepic. (We have a good prospect in view - but won't be available for 2 more weeks.) Please pray with us for that need.

Meanwhile, Friday we stuck our necks out, by faith, and made a deal to buy the Los Fresnos house with the adjoining lot. Do we have the money? No. But we believe God for it. He has always been faithful to honor our faith all these 41 years in Mexico!

The down payment is $4000 dollars ($40,000 Pesos) and the monthly payments are $400 Dollars (for 20 years.) But we believe the Lord will help us pay it off in a few months. Then we will need money to put up a small, simple auditorium on the adjoning lot.

So, will you pray and believe with us for this supply? The group there is already growing. It is an area of 3500 new houses built and 1500 more under construction.

Linda and I met with the Angulo church missions committee this morning. It was a good meeting - discussing the recent short term missions trip for the young people, and the Missions Week program early December.

Once again I need to tell you how much your prayers mean to us.

Thank you, thank you for praying.

Have a victorious day in Father's House tomorrow.
Roger & Linda
