Greetings and Choice Blessings from Mexico!
"The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace." Psalm 29.11
Wars, rumors of war. Cartel violence, bombings and "occupations", unemployment and uncertainty for the future...and yet He gives US peace! John 14.27 et.al.
Our pastor in Tepic reports shootouts in the streets there. The same goes on in the city of Colima. The Panamerican games are going on in Guadalajara...but tourism is not as was expected because of the violence reported in the media. But WE have peace! Thank you, Lord.
And our message is about the Prince of Peace.
Linda and I celebrated our 54th anniversary this past week. And the beginning ouf our 57th year of ministry in missions. And we can only talk about how faithful the Lord has been across those years.
Linda is so-so. I mean in areas there seems to be some progress, and in other areas, no. No weight gain as yet. Very little strength and energy. But her stomach is better today. Hemoglobin low and kidney function under par. But our faith is in the Great Physician and His promises.
I am attaching a few more paragraphs about our work here in Mexico.
Your prayers are such a tremendous blessing. Thank you for praying and believing with us.
In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update October 23
Greetings from Mexico on a beautiful Autumn day!
"God’s divine power has given us everything we need for life and for godliness. This power was given to us through knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and integrity." 2 Peter 1.2-3
Earlier this year we bagan to use story telling (Bible stories, of course) in our children's classes and cell groups.
Sister Refugio emailed me this testimony this week. She and her mother went to visit a very sick aunt. They found her in the crowded hospital, in a hallway on a stretcher on the floor. She looked more dead than alive, and unable to communicate with them.
Refugio remembered the story of the paralytic (Mark 2) that we had used in the story telling class recently. She told the story to her aunt, though the aunt appeared to be unconcious. Refugio went away for a few minutes; her mother stayed. When Refugio returned the aunt had her eyes open and was able to talk to them.
We had three pray for salvation at Angulo, one at El Estadio mission as well as one who received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Blessings. Have a great experience of worship in His House with others of the Family.
In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update October 16
Autumn greetings from Dallas, Texas.
“O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. “ Psalm 105.1-2
We had three people come to the Lord at Angulo Sunday. Attendance was down because of the extremely heavy traffic caused by the Pan-American Games that are being celebrated in Guadalajara these days (October 9-31) Terrible traffic congestion, wonderful days of evangelistic opportunity! Pray that many athletes and visitors come to know the Lord during these games.
I haven’t received reports from the missions and other outreaches yet from last week’s activities. But 3 came to Him at Angulo.
I have been in Dallas since last Saturday. Change is so uncomfortable, so sure to come, sooner or later. I have resigned as president of Missionary Revival Crusade, and most fittingly, the youngest son of the founder, Bro Daniel Ost, has been elected the new president.
I served as president for 27 years (less 4 months) after Bro Danny founded MRC and served 27 year until his death. Please pray for Ben and Debbie Ost in this new adventure.
Linda and I have formed our own tax deductible ministry, called Power Planting International. You have seen that name before. It was the name of our branch under Missionary Revival Crusade. (Each missionary has his own branch and branch name under MRC’s covering.)
So now, instead of receiving donations through MRC we will be receiving them directly to Power Planting (PPI.) Our new address for those donations is:
Power Planting International
P O Box 277
Waxahachie, TX 75168-0277
I talked to Linda this morning. She continues to improve in her health. Her kidneys are not responding on the same level as the rest of her body – so we ask you to pray about that, please.
Linda and I will celebrate 54 years of marriage later this month. Then in January we will begin our 46th year of missionary service in Mexico. Previously we had served 12 years in Texas, Oklahoma and Puerto Rico. God has been so FAITHFUL all these years. And how we praise Him for it. We look forward to as many more years of service as the Lord will give us life and strength!
Thank you for YOUR prayers! Have a joyful time in Father’s House with His people, worshiping Him tomorrow.
In His Grace,
Roger & Linda
