Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
I am doing this a little late, from the church computer - since we have no electricity yesterday or today at the house.
We only had 4 people pray for salvation last week here at the Angulo Center church. Lord give us a bigger harvest today.
Oh. Today our pastor, Michael Massa is preaching. He and Nancy are visiting here a few days. And we are expecting good things in the services today.
We had a tremendous general meeting on Wednesday - with pastors from across the city meeting together in preparation for a giant meeting in the biggest soccer stadium on September 20. Pastora Elia and her congregation are the initiators of the whole thing. This event is going to SHAKE Guadalajara - and a great ingathering of souls for Jesus! Please pray for it.
At that meeting a couple came up to Linda and commented, "You saved our marriage."The wife had attended a Titus 2 course several years ago! The husband said - Yes! I was about ready to run her off!
We have a very important Training Encounter Retreat this next weekend - for children's workers. August 29-31. Please pray for this encounter and the "encounterees" and leaders.
Also, please keep praying for the Tepic and Los Fresnos (new) works.
I can't express to you how important, and how beneficial your prayers for us are! Please continue...and have a great day in His House today!
In Him,
Roger and Linda

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.

Update August 10
Greetings and blessings on this busy Saturday evening. I preached at the youth camp this afternoon. Over 250 young people attending – God is doing some powerful things in their lives!
Five people prayed for salvation last Sunday. We had a wonderful day in the Lord’s House.
We are gearing up here for a training encounter retreat for children’s workers. The object is to prepare our teachers to minister adequately to this generation’s children!
Arturo Gomez is home – recovering nicely from his major surgery, now. Thank you for praying for him. He is a key person in the new work we are opening in his area of Guadalajara.
May you have a powerful and life changing encounter with the Lord in the services tomorrow! We expect to have one here!
In Him,
Roger and Linda West

Update August 3
Greetings to you on our eldest's 50th birthday! How did he get that age so fast?
Just a few lines this week. We had a good week with the brothers from Oklahoma last week. Were in meetings each night - took them to minister in three churches Sunday in three cities...all part of greater Guadalajara.
Mainly I need you to pray for the youth camp that starts this Thursday. This is always a high spot in the year for the young people...I will be ministering to them Saturday noon.
We had one person pray for salvation Sunday - pray with us that we'll have more this week. So MANY yet to be reached!
Have a wonderful Lord's Day in His House with some of His children! There's a few odd ones,but most of them are quite lovable! ;-)
Thanks for praying - Oh. And for our daily radio program airing again here in Guadalajara.
In Him,
Roger & Linda
Update July 27
Good Morning! Greetings and blessings!
Youth Rally
Last night's youth rally was powerful. Emphasis on the armor of God (the youth camp theme for August 7-10.)
New Mission Outreach
We met with the new group of people in Los Fresnos south of Guadalajara. I showed Pastor Kenny the property we hope to buy for the work...a small house with a lot beside it. Please pray for this new group in an area of several thousand homes plus other nearby large communities.
Alfonso and Susie's Cell Meeting
I took Pastor Kenny and his companions to the Wednesday cell at Alfonso and Susie's home. About 40 people crowded in. We looked at a small warehouse nearby as a possible rented facility for that soon-to-open new church. Pray for that outreach, too, please.
Good Service Last Sunday
We had a large crowd Sunday, good service and 4 people prayed for salvation. Pray for the services today, would you? I am taking Pastor Kenny from Ada, Oklahoma to preach in Tlaquepaque this morning, downtown at noon and Tabachines Center this evening. All are in the Guadalajara metro area, but three different townships.
Last Titus 2 Session This Term
Linda and her team did the last session on Titus 2 Friday. The session was good, and the graduation dinner will be in September.
Have a good day - be blessed in His House there where you are. Thanks for your prayers for us here.

Update July 20
Greetings once again in the Name of Jesus, our Lord.
We had a wonderful service last Sunday - with people ministering to people all over the auditorium. Several testimonies of God's faithfulness to heal the sick and suffering. Don't have a report of who got saved, yet.
We had a very good convention. I have a couple of pics of that below. One family had a terrible accident on the way - demolished their RV, but miraculously no one was hurt. The pastors at the convention gave them a special offering, which covered the cost of the vehicle.
At the convention we prayed for and blessed Pastor Carmelo Mendoza and his family as they leave as missionaries to the Spanish speaking in Houston, Texas. The family is pictured below.
The missions team to Chiapas will give reports tomorrow - but made an impact, and evenmore - were impacted themselves by their experiences. I have a couple of photos below of that, as well. I wonder how long we could stand sitting on those backless board benches?
Thank you so much for your prayers.
· Arturo had surgery and it lasted five hours, but was successful.
· Please pray for us as a team of three men will be visiting us this week.
· Please pray for the bi-monthly youth conference here in Guadalajara this Saturday.
Have a joyful Lord's Day in the company of some of His other kids.
