Happy New Year

Greetings and blessings on this next to the last day of 2007. (Where did it go?)

It’s been a good year, battles along, but victories as well. God is good – All the time!

We had a pretty quiet Christmas here. A dear pastor friend and his family were with us 3 days. They took their kids different places in the day time, and we had good fellowship in the evenings.

Four people prayed for salvation last week. We had a good Christmas service and suspended some of the other activities to give our team some rest time!

Please pray for us this next week. I will be ministering in a local prophetic conference on Tuesday and preaching at our Tabachines Centro de Fe on Sunday – the 21st anniversary for Juan and Gloria Acosta as pastors there.

We have a church wide fast from the 4th to the 13th. We want to hear from God and see greater things for His glory (and of His glory) in 2008.

Thank you for your prayers...they are so needed and so appreciated.

Have a wonderful year ahead...and a great Lord’s Day today

Greetings and blessings in Jesus.

I am late - usually have this done Saturday evening - but due to the Intenet situation at 'Linda's House', I had to wait until I got to church this morning. Nevertheless...here we are. 'Too blessed to be stressed!'

MISSIONS CONFERENCE
The missions conference was SO blessed by the Lord. We felt a real heart response from the people. A real breakthrough. The people have been responding well but e reached a new level of understanding and commitment this year. Praise God.





AGUA VIVA RADIO
Reports still come from the radio program we have had on the air in Mexico since July 1968. Our Leon, Guanajuato pastor told me last night about an engineer in the church who was born crippled...his body all doubled and drawn up...limbs useless. His mother listened to our broadcast. One day she placed his little body on the radio as we prayed for the sick. The Lord healed him completely. Now he has graduated from the university with an engineering degree! Praise the Lord!

COUPLES BANQUET
Last night Linda and I spoke at a couple's banquet at the Tabachines Faith Hope and Love Center. It as a blessed time. I spoke on 'The Spirit of a Happy Marriage.' Texts, Mal 2.15-16 and 1 Peter 3.4.

Thanks you, always, thank you for your prayers for us. Linda is really doing well, we are so blessed in so many ways. You are an important part of that blessing. GOD BLESS YOU!

In Him,

Greetings to you from Guadalajara, Mexico!

We are in the last 2 days of our annual missions conference here. It has been GOOD!

Missionary Chuy Perales from a misddle east country and missionary Reynaldo Torres from Senegal have been ministering. God is using them to speak to the church here about a deeper commitment to world missions.

Several of our young people have a definite call to missions. Please pray for them to take steps and make progress toward getting to the field where God is calling them.

And we have also had people saved here in the services, as we talk about lost people in other nations! Missions and soul winning, from our Jerusalem to the ends of the earth! Amen.

Have a wonderful Lord's Day - and many thanks for your prayers for us here.

In Him,
Roger and Linda
