Greetings and Blessings from Mexico.
It is "Holy Week" here (Semana Santa) and multitudes of people are heading for the beaches. Which means the cities are quieter, the air cleaner, and the streets clear of traffic congestion. For my money, all that is better than the crowded beach covered with people. This is also a very religious time in Mexico - and a time when people can be reached for the Lord. Pray with us that it will be a fruitful time.
One of our pastors ministered to an uncle on his death-bed this week. He prayed to receive the Lord, as did several others in the family. 2 people prayed for salvation at Tepic, also.
Speaking of Tepic, (and many other Mexican cities) - the kidnapping and killing continues. In many of these places pastors and ministers (Rehab centers, etc) are the targets.
Last Sunday a pastor in Michoacán state was taken from his pulpit during the service and kidnapped. One of our own young ladies in the Angulo church was kidnapped 3 weeks ago. The kidnappers asked an astronomical amount of money to get her back. When the father said he didn't have it, they threatened to kill her. But prayer prevailed, and after several days she was released. Please pray for the release of the Michoacán pastor, too. He is Josué Ramírez Santiago.
We are reopening the work in the city of Ocotlán this Sunday. The former pastor fell into sin and the recovery period has been painful, but we are ready to move forward again there. Your prayers for that ministry are appreciated.
God bless you. May the Holy Spirit make Jesus real in every service where the Word is preached - and may God's richest blessings be yours.
In Him,
Roger & Linda
