Titus 2 - Teaching Women

In April of 1998 the Lord began to speak to Linda about building and teaching a course based on the concept Paul expressed in Titus 2:3-5. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no-one will malign the word of God. The Lord helped her get the materials together and put them in a manual.

The idea was to teach the course to the pastor´s wives and encourage them to teach it to their ladies in the local church. Linda has taught Titus 2 several times city wide in Guadalajara as well as many other cities in Mexico. The impact has been tremendous! Homes have been blessed, marriages restored, divorces cancelled, and many husbands saved as a result of these teachings. Now the wives of leading pastors in several cities are continuing to teach the course to one generation of women after another.

Agua Viva Radio Broadcast

Roger began his "Agua Viva" (Living Water) program in July of 1968. He has been on the air in Mexico daily since that time. At the present time he is on nine stations, covering much of Mexico with the Gospel message. His program is on World Wide Christian Radio at 4:45 Monday through Friday at 9.475 MHz.

The testimonies of salvation and healing have been an exciting part of the ministry through the years.

In connection with the Agua Viva program we have a Bible correspondence school. Hundreds of radio listeners have requested and received the "Light of Life" Bible course in Spanish as a result of the program.

Please pray for Agua Viva and its many listeners.

In July of 1968 we started broadcasting the Gospel on the radio in México. I had pastured Spanish-speaking congregations in Texas and Oklahoma. For several years I had a Sunday morning program that reached a large audience. When we moved to Mexico I was inspired by the effectiveness of Bro. Danny Ost´s radio programs. I began to seek a station that would sell me air time. The station managers were wary of letting me on the air, fearing a negative reaction from the very religious public.

I finally convinced Mr. Olivares at 'Radio Juventud' to sell me 2 five minute slots. I had asked for one 15 minute slot. After several months, and no problems from the public, he sold me time for a daily 15 minute broadcast. We have been on the air in Mexico every day since that time. Presently we are on 8 stations in Mexico every day and on WWCR (World Wide Christian Radio) Mondays through Fridays. Tune in at 9.475 MHz at 4:45 CST. Literally thousands of people have been brought to the Lord through the programs; multitudes of healing testimonies have come to us and many churches born.

We have sent 'Light of Life' (La Luz de la Vida) Bible correspondence courses to hundreds of people across Mexico and Latin America. We also have sent many booklets of Gospel literature along with the Bible courses. It is an exciting thing to send the Gospel over the air-ways to places that have never had a missionary or Gospel preacher and see hearts and doors open as a result. Please pray for the Agua Viva programs.

Church Planting

Our basic call to missions is to plant churches, train leaders and turn the churches over to the national leaders. We have planted churches in the Mexican states of Nuevo León, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Jalisco and Colima. Our first church in plant in Mexico was in San Isidro, Nuevo León in March of 1967. I was teaching in the Crusade Bible School at El Carmen during the day and doing tract-drop follow up in the afternoons and evenings. When we did follow up on a family from San Isidro 6 people were saved on the first visit. We started going there twice a week for the next 8 months, visiting homes and preaching the Gospel in the open air. For the last 4 months of that time we went an extra night a week to give leadership training studies to 4 of the men in the new congregation.

In November of 1967 I committed the congregation to Chano Flores as pastor. The work continues to this day. We moved to Celaya, Guanajuato in central Mexico in November of 1967, and in the next 4 years planted churches in Celaya, Acámbaro, Irapuato, Cupareo, La Palma, El Huizache and Las Fuentes. We also helped start churches in Morelia, Queretaro and San Miguel de Allende. In 1972 we moved to León, Guanajuato where we planted a congregation. We also did outreaches to La Labor, Corralejo de Hidalgo, Cañones and La Calera. In 1974 we moved to Guadalajara, Jalisco as a result of a tremendous campaign we celebrated in that city. Besides planting the main church downtown, we have 7 other churches in the city, and churches were started in Colima, Salamanca, Ocotlan, Sahuayo, Zamora, Unión de Tula and El Grullo.

Two of the Guadalajara churches were actually planted by Don and Perri Sams, while David Pursifull took the little Sahuayo mission and planted the thriving church there. We recently were involved in the planting of a church in Mérida, Yucatán. That church has reached out into numerous communities surrounding Mérida, and is growing rapidly.Our basic call to missions is to plant churches, train leaders and turn the churches over to the national leaders.
