INDEPENDENCE DAY IN MEXICO
Today is 16 September…Mexico’s Independence Day. In the Mexico as in the USA – we have the joy of many liberties and national independence. Looking at other parts of the world, we can easily recognize how blessed we are! In studying for today’s message I discovered there are at least 27 million slaves in the world today! We are so blessed! Living a country where there is freedom and knowing Jesus and the spiritual and moral freedom we have in Him!

LINDA’S SURGERY
Thank you for praying for us – for Linda – and her surgery. She came through with flying colors. A little discomfort today – but everything was benign. Praise God. Our daughter-in-law, Paty West is here from Dallas to help care for Linda. She’s a blessing!

LAST SUNDAY’S REPORT
5 people prayed for salvation. Very good meetings. Praise the Lord. We are expecting great things today as we celebrate our Independence Day Sunday.

PRAYER REQUESTS
Please pray for Linda's full recovery from the surgery. Please pray for Pastor Juan Acosta and me as we travel to Monterrey for Directors’ meeting for the Center of Faith, Hope and Love in Mexico Monday.

We return Wednesday evening to Guadalajara. Please pray for the Re- Encounter Retreat we will be celebrating September 21-23 for the young people of our congregation. Then on the 24th we have our quarterly regional pastors’ meeting here in Guadalajara.

THANK YOU
Your prayers are so important – and make much more difference than you really know. We appreciate them so very much.

Have a glorious day in Father’s House today.

Greetings to you late this Saturday afternoon.

I have been finishing up the message for tomorrow – titled “Lord Jesus, Teach About Joy” Last week we talked about “Lord Jesus, Teach us how to be rich with God”

Linda’s house – Closer and Closer. Protection is on! Pic below of one corner.

Linda’s surgery is scheduled for Thursday morning. We do ask you to pray, and appreciate your prayers.

Four people prayed for salvation last Sunday – that’s about three weeks in a row we have had four. Pray with us for fourteen tomorrow.

Pray for Luis Manuel and Angelica – their 13 year old daughter Rosie ran off Friday with a 14 year old kid. Haven’t heard any response yet.

Have a joyful Lord’s Day….lavished with His grace and love. Eph. 1:7

In Him,

IMMIGRATION REPORT
We got them! Praise God. Spent all day at Immigration Tuesday. Flew to Mexico City at 7:00 A.M. and got home at 7:30 P.M. But we got our credentials. Thank you for praying.

LAST WEEK’S REPORT
Besides the trip to Mexico City Tuesday, we went to Tepic on Friday to meet with our group there.


Tepic is 2 hours away by toll road – but a gasoline truck blew up in the middle section, and so all traffic was diverted to the non-toll road…all slow, crawling truck traffic. It took 4 hours to get there.

But we did some visiting (radio follow-up) and ministered at the house meeting in Ahuacate (right outside Tepic.)

We left Guadalajara at noon and got home at 1:30 A.M. Tired but blessed.

Oh. And four people prayed for salvation in the service here last Sunday, too. Praise God.

LINDA’S HOUSE
We should have the protection up by the end of the week. Soon after Linda’s surgery we should be able to start moving in. PRAISE GOD!

Your prayers and support are SUCH a blessing. You really don’t know how much.

Have a wonderful Lord’s Day….

Greetings again from Guadalajara!

Someone said, “Ain’t God GOOD?” Linda and I both say a hearty amen to that!

LINDA’S HOUSE PROJECT
I shared last week that about the last thing before mi¡oving into Linda’s House is the window protection. We got an email from friends Sunday afternoon saying they were sending a check to cover that – to MORE than cover that! PTL.

MEXICO CITY – IMMIGRATION
We also shared that the Immigration Dept of Government were down. They are up again – we are going to make a quick trip Tuesday to get our renewed immigration card. Before the computers quit again! J This is an unexpected added expense, but God is faithful.

Please pray for us Tuesday – safety, strength (we are going and coming the same day) and that the computers keep working!

LAST WEEK
We had good meetings last week – and 4 people prayed for salvation. Praise God.

We DO appreciate your prayers so much.

Have a wonderful Lord’s Day…And God Bless!

MEXICO TRIP

We were in Mexico City Tuesday through Friday – Immigration business. Wewere able to get everything done…EXCEPT come away with our ID card. The computers are down! Hopefully some time next week they will be back in operatipon.

We did see our grandson there, and several friends, and spoke to the Retorehab center folks Thursday night.

LAST SUNDAY

We had good services last week. God is doing some powerful things in manylives. And 6 people prayed for salvation, too.

LINDA’S HOUSE PROJECT

We are literally in the last details. We have one final project to getdone….the window and door protection. People in Mexico have protective barsover the windows and doors. That project will cost $1600 for all the windowsand doors.

THEN…we move in! When we get the money for that, it will take a week to construct the protection and a week to install. KEEP PRAYING, please.

I am sending one picture of the front yard area…with Linda and lOfelia from her cell.

Have a wonderful Lord’s Day.

And…again, MANY thanks for all your prayers.

Greetings and Blessings in Jesus.

We have a really short report this week.

Linda and I leave Tuesday morning for Mexico City (world’s largest city) for immigration purposes. We have been bona fide immigrants (but not citizens) here in Mexico for several year, but our passport booklet is full, and we are changing addresses…ONE OF THESE DAYS. So we have to get new booklets..or hopefully, a credencial that won’t have to be replaced.

Anyhow, please pray for our trip. Travel and immigration business. We´ll be back Friday.

No Tepic trip this week, after all. Our team was spread out in other directions.Still, pray for Tepic and what the Lord wants us to do there. And for our radio program there.

Linda’s House Project….details. Protection for windows and doors is the next detail. Closets are promised to be in THIS WEEK!

One more section of driveway needs to go in…then we can MOVE IN!

Thanks so much for praying…God bless you!

Have a wonderful Lord’s Day.
In His Grace,
Roger & Linda

YOUTH CAMP REPORT

I preached yesterday noon at the youth camp. 350 wild, on fire for God young people and some adults. Their theme this year – A Generation of Valiant Youth.

I don’t have a report on how many saved – but one young man was delivered from deep occult practices. Guadalajara Report Last Sunday, just before service time, a giant ferocious storm hit Guadalajara. Rain swept down in torrents. Streets flooded, trafic halted. Attendance was cut in half.Still, we had a good meeting – and one person gave his heart to the Lord. Trusting for better weather today.

LINDA’S HOUSE REPORT
One thing you learn in Mexico is patience! We were moving in July. Well, how about September? Details and details. However, the carport floor is now in…protection on windows and doors come next. Its going to happen! Keep praying, please.

Yes. Keep praying. Your prayers make a BIG difference. We appreciate them!

Have a blessed Lord’s Day there.

Roger & Linda
