Sahuayo-Jiquilpan

We had two wonderful services last Sunday at Sahuayo and at Jiquilpan where Joel and Vickie Flores are pastors. I think about 5 people prayed for salvation in Sahuayo and 3 in Jiquilpan. I also prayed with a recently converted mother who lost her 23 year old son and 19 year old daughter last September when a drunk driver hit them head on. Tragic, but through it she came to know the Lord.

The interesting thing about Pastor Joel (pictured here with us) is that I dedicated him to the Lord whne he was an infant! Now he is pastoring one of our Centers!

Guadalajara
While I was away last Sunday two more people received the Lord in our downtown Angulo Center. Praise God.

Linda’s House Project
Well, we haven’t moved, YET. But we are definitely closer!

The bathrooms are finished, and the doors are all in. What’s lacking? Two closet and the driveway. We will start moving boxes next week! We should be in by the end of September! Praise God.

Youth Camp
Please pray for our annual youth camp this coming Thursday through Sunday noon. This camp has been a powerhouse for ministering to the youth of our churches, and for reaching new young people. I am preaching at the camp on Saturday morning. We especially appreciate your prayers for that time, too.

Have a Great Lord's Day
May the Lord pour out His Spirit on His people all over the earth – and may He pour out a double portion on you there.

In Him,
Roger and Linda

Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

Its been a busy, blessed week. There was another funeral in one of our families this week. Sadly, the man was not a believer! Happily his son and son’s wife received the Lord. Martin (one of my associate pastors) has been ministering to the family. They are very open.

Alfonso (another of my associate pastors) was visiting this week, dealing with another situation, and two people in the home trusted the Lord.

Five people prayed for salvation in the service Sunday. Praise God.

Linda and I will be ministering in Sahuayo tomorrow at the Faith, Hope and Love Center there. Pray for Pastor Joel and Vickie, a VERY sweet couple…they really want to have a baby.

Linda’s House Project – well…ALMOST ready. The bathroom tile is in, and the closets are going in. We lack only the master bathroom lavatories and its cabinet. ALMOST THERE!

We appreciate your prayers for us SO much.

Have a wonderful Lord’s Day.

In Him, Roger & Linda

Dear Friend,

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Ps 68:11,19

Greetings in the Almighty and Exalted Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. What a joy to serve Him and see His working in the lives of the people as we minister His Word!

ANGULO ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN

We just finished celebrating the Angulo Center of Faith, Hope and Love’s 33rd anniversary. We had services Thursday through Sunday, and 18 new people came to know the Lord in those services. It was a good campaign.

Linda and I started this church in July, 1974. We held a campaign in a rented auditorium for 6 days in January, 1974. We planned the campaign in response to our daily 15 minute radio program. People got saved from all over, many healed and many filled with the Holy Spirit. After the campaign Linda and I found the old theater building (where we later bought and now meet) and started coming 150 miles every Saturday from Leon, Guanajuato for all day meetings. We moved to Guadalajara the last of June of that year.

We praise the Lord for the hundreds of souls that have come to Jesus across the years, and the mission churches birthed out of the downtown Angulo Center. We now have 8 Centers in Guadalajara, most of which started out of Angulo.

ANSWERED PRAYER

In my weekly email update (which I would love to send you) I shared about Gemis Gonzalez. His wife, Candelaria had just recently come to the Lord (2 months ago, now) and shortly afterward became very ill. Two week ago she died and Gemis was beside himself with grief. I asked for prayer for his salvation. You prayed, and in this anniversary campaign he gave his heart to Jesus. Praise the Lord!

COMING EVENTS

Our national pastors’ convention will be held in Morelos state July 17-20. Our annual Youth Camp is August 2-5. Each year the Lord has manifested His Presence, Power and Purpose to the lives of scores of our young people. Mexico’s population is 100 million. 50% of them are 15 years old and under. 65% of them are not yet 30 years old! Please help us pray for the young people of Meixo!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Your prayers and financial support are what helps us be here, and helps make possible the fruit that we do see. You are definitely a vital part of the ministry here. And we do appreciate it very much!

God bless you, more and more!

ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN
This weekend we are celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the downtown Guadalajara Faith, Hope and Love Center. It has been great! Thursday 2 people prayed for salvation. Friday we had an anniversary banquet, and “pesca milagrosa” (Miracle catch) service. 15 people new prayed for salvation, including Gemis, the widower of Candelaria who died recently. I asked you to pray for him.

At the end of the service last night we had a violent rain storm. We couldn’t leave the church until almost 10 PM. The streets were all flooded, knee.deep…cars with drowned motors everywhere…but the Lord got us home…though it took 2 hours to get there. Its rainy season here…last night is not unusual!

Saturday night we had a city-wide Centro de Fe (FHLove Center) youth rally. Talk about alive!!

LINDA’S HOUSE PROJECT
Lord willing!...we are going to start moving this month. Its almost ready for that. Your prayers for this project…and gifts…have been SUCH a blessing! Thank you!!

Have a wonderful Lord’s Day…may souls come to Jesus here, and there!

In Him,
