Update - May 11

Greetings and blessings in Jesus.

To all the mothers:

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Rom 15.13

From Jerry Ireland in Pensacola:
A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: 'My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I am strong and attractive. I pick up things. What am I?' When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word 'Mother.'
Monday I walked into the church for our staff meeting, to find two staff members praying with a young lady for salvation. They were excited, she was thrilled and I was, too.

Last Sunday was Children’s Day in Mexico. Our kids had a special celebration.

Have a wonderful Lord’s Day.

Update May 4

Greetings and blessings in Jesus.

We got back from last month's missions conferences and MRC board meeting in time to do a young lady's 15th birthday celebration and preach Sunday. After Monday's staff meeting and our cell meetings we took 3 days to rest and catch up from the trip.

Of course there is always much to do even when we are "taking time to rest." More than anything else these past three days we have been distributing and answering emails of new converts from the website "enbuscadedios.com". Linda, I and the staff have done over 100 follow-up emails. Exciting!

I was counseling with one of my cell members. Alfredo was sharing how he had one a young man to the Lord a couple of weeks ago, and now the whole family has come to know the Lord!

We are going to rent a house this week for the beginning of the new church plant in Tepic, Nayarit. Please pray for that, would you?

God bless you - Have a great day in Father's House tomorrow.

In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update - April 27

Greetings andblessings on this last Sunday of April!

Linda and I finally got home yesterday at noon. We were to arrive late Friday night. Do you want to hear the story of our flight’s delays? No – I don’t think so. Anyhow, we are home!

We celebrated a young lady’s “quinceañera” last night. That’s her “coming out” time. She was a niña, now she’s a señorita. Very important in the Latin American culture. A photoa Karen and her parents and me is below.

Four people prayed for salvation last Sunday here. Linda and I were still in Texas– ministered at the Community Bible church in Azle.

We are expecting great things today...here and there where you are!

Thank you SO much for your prayers for us!

In HisLove,
Roger and Linda

P.S. Pray much for RevGod.com and the harvest of precious souls and their follow-up

Update - April 20

Greetings and Blessings from the MRC office in Desoto (Dallas) Texas. I have a very brief update this week. We missed last week as I did not have access to a computer for the report.

We will be at the Community Bible Church in Azle, Texas tomorrow. We ask for your prayers as we minister there. Then a few more days of closing down things here at the office, and back home! To Guadalajara.

We had (they had) 8 people pray for salvation last week in the main Guadalajara congregation. I may just stay away - they had more people and more decisions without me!

We were blessed to see many dear friends at the missions conferences in Pensacola last week. A good trip...2300 miles in all. Thank you for praying for us.

Have a blessed day worshiping the Father in His House!

In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update - April 5

Multiplied Blessings of Grace and Peace.

We had a very good MRC board meeting.

Thank you for your prayers. Linda and I leave in a little while to visit some dear friends and their church in Ada, OK. We will be with them over the weekend before heading out toward Pensacola, FL and missions conferences there. Thank you for your prayer covering.

Last Sunday at the Angulo Faith, Hope and Love Center we had 6 people pray for salvation and three baptisms. Good service. PTL.

Please pray for the assoc pastors who are covering while we are away. You MUST look at the enbuscadedios web page...its in English, too.And pray. What's happening there is phenomenal! Glory!

Have a great Lord's Day.

In Him,
Roger and Linda

Early Update - March 27

Greetings and blessings in the Name of the Risen King!

I am writing a little early because I have a special prayer request. A dear pastor friend has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed to a large degree on one side. Bro Fred Weaver has improved some since the stroke early March, but its slow in coming. Please pray for him and his wife and congregation.

My cousin Steve Collins went on his usual Thursday rounds of visitation and follow up with Alfredo, one of my cell members. Alfredo sells insurance. He was in Amatitan, a town near Guadalajara 2 weeks ago with a client. Alfredo prayed for a severe back problem the man was suffering. When Alfredo returned on business yesterday the man was healed and anxious for Alfredo to talk to him about the Lord, together with all his family.

They went back today for that follow up. About 6 people have received the Lord in that house. PTL.

Thank you for praying for Bro Fred. God bless you, "real good."

In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update - March 23

Greetings and Blessings this Resurrection celebration morning!

My favorite cartoon below!
3 people prayed for salvation last night at the "Good Friday" service. Mexico is such a religious country. People come out for the so called Good Friday service.

Last Sunday 5 people came for salvation. Its really thrilling to see these new believers winning others! They are so excited about Jesus!

He is alive...forevermore! Let's celebrate His victory and ours in Him, and "go quickly and tell."

Rejoice in Him and be blessed!

Roger and Linda
