Greetings from Mexico.
“Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” Ps 29.1-2
I am writing this from the TerraNova hospital here in the city of Guadalajara. I brought Linda here on Wednesday afternoon late.
Linda had been having trouble with anemia and as a result very limited strength. There were days when she was better, but then on Friday night she fell in the house and (we found out later) cracked 3 ribs.
She was really hurting and we decided it was time to go to the hospital. Tests have revealed several severe problems in the esophagus region, as well as gastritis and an ulcer in the anterior part of her stomach.
She is looking better, and we believe her healing is coming.
Thank you for your prayers in all of this.
Normally today I would be at the youth camp preaching, but with Linda’s situation as it is, I am foregoing that delight. I do plan on preaching tomorrow at the Angulo downtown church.
The youth camp is a highlight of the year. God always does some wonderful things in the lives of those attending. This is the 25th anniversary of the camp. I will probably have some pics for next week.
I am sending another “chapter” in the story of our ministry in Mexico. God has been so faithful. We give Him all praise and glory forever.
And, once again, your prayers are so important – so encouraging. Thank you.
BTW - They tell me there won't be another month like this one for 823 years! 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays all in the same month.
In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update July 24
Greetings and blessings in Jesus.
"THE LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not lack." Ps 23.1 (Amp)
I was reading this this morning with Linda (July 23, we read Ps 23, 53, 83, 113, 143 and Prov 23.) What a wonderful thing to know and have Jesus as our shephers; we are sheep of His Hand. Ps 95.7 (I get to thinking about His Hand! Wonderful!)
Linda's report - she is better. The doctor looked at the lab reports and was very happy. She is not well, but she is better. The hemoglobin count is (very slightly) up and the creatinin count is (very slightly) down. But he was happy with it. Nevertheless, she is still very weak, no appetite and on top of it all fell the other night and hurt her ribs. So we thank the Lord for the improvement but continue to pray for her REAL healing.
I didn't get my emails out last week. I was down with some kind of stomach virus. So Linda and I were both home sick last Sunday. But I got over mine quickly, Praise God.
Last week we had 2 pray for salvation at Angulo and three at Los Fresnos. Another at Tepic. This Sunday 2 people prayed at Angulo. We have a baptismal service planned for next Sunday.
Our annual Youth Camp is this week (July 26-31.) This is the silver anniversary camp! We are expecting God to do powerful things in all our lives this week at camp. Please pray.
I wrote another "chapter" of the ministry story - raw, unedited. Just hope not too many typos -I'm tired and about to quit here.
Have a wonderful day in the House of the Lord where you are with His people and His Word.
In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update July 10
Rainy days Greetings from Acatlán,
“I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.” Psalm 9.1-2
A heart full of praise, testimony of all His blessings, a joyful and thankful spirit. That’s how I am as I sit down to write this update!
One of our men went through a 6 hour heart surgery Friday. He is doing well. Linda is doing better; a little more strength each day. We had a wonderful anniversary celebration at the Angulo downtown Faith Center (seven people came to the Lord, too.) Two more people prayed for salvation at the Estadio mission and the young people and the Los Fresnos missions were blessed with decisions, as well.
René, one of our young men rode in a taxi a while back. Discovered the taxi driver was a mute, unable to talk. René asked if he could pray for him. Last week René took a taxi again, and it turned out to be the same driver. And now he can talk! PTL!
I placed a short video on Facebook of the mariachi playing and the congregation participating.
Go to my page, Roger Grampa West on FB and check it out.
I preach at the Tapatio Center early tomorrow as well as the Angulo service at midday. I would appreciate your prayers. They are a very real blessing and help!
I am including another page or two of “Our Story” along with this update.
Have a great time in Father’s House with some of His other kids!
In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update July 3
Greetings from Mexico and a happy 4th of July to you!
“Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!” Psalm 31.19
The rainy season has begun – cooler weather accompanied with electrical storms and strong winds, flooded underpasses and side streets, but a nice change from the heat, nevertheless!
We had people come to the Lord in Tepic, Estadio mission, the Angulo young people, the Ocotlán Center and the Tapatio Center. Baptisms are in preparation for a nymber of new believers.
Last week Pastor Juan Acosta went to Puerto Vallarta to help them celebrate their 6th anniversary. Tomorrow we celebrate Angulo Center church’s 37th anniversary! Only Heaven knows how many people have gotten saved, healed and delivered at Angulo across those many years. All praise and glory to God!
Linda is stronger – still has a very weak voice. Please pray for that. She was sought after for a large women’s meeting here in the city (she spoke there last year) but was not able to accept because of her very weak voice.
I am attaching our June Good News from Mexico letter to the email this week. I did (barely) get it out in June. Also another piece of our ministry history in Mexico.
God is blessing His church, advancing His Kingdom and gathering a great harvest of precious people for Kingdom mission. You are a vital part of it all through your faithful prayers. Thank you. God bless!
Have a great day with the saints in church tomorrow!
In Him,
Roger & Linda
