Update September 12

Greetings and blessings of Grace and Peace.


"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Isaiah 26.3


This is such a conflict-, war-filled world. So much stress, fear and anxiety. But WE have "Peace, Peace." Perfect peace. Our minds are stayed on Him and His Word!


We had 7 people pray for salvation last week at the Angulo church, and Tepic mission had another.

I received an email from the pastor in Merida - they baptized 30 new believers last week. I used to be on the radio there. A change of station personnel and my program was removed. But the pastor has a lot of the CD's from when I was on the air. He is lending them out to people. They listen, invite friends, and people are still coming to the Lord, getting blessed and encouraged through the programs. Praise the Lord.

We celebrated Jose Cruz' birthday Monday night. He is 99 years old. We all had a good time, He talked about how life was in Mexico during the revolution and other interesting details.

In one photo little perlita (Pearl) is standing in front of Bro Jose. He is 99. She is 3. 96 years difference in years! My, my!

Thank you so much for your prayers for us. I preach at two of our Centers tomorrow, and for the large Independence Day celebration on the 16th. We are believing for a good response and many new believers.

Have a wonderful day in Father's House tomorrow.

In Him,
Roger & Linda

Living Under God

Greetings and blessings.

God spoke to me about praying daily for (1) our troops overseas, for divine protection and (2) against terrorist bombs being effective and taking innocent lives anywhere on the planet this day.

I invite you to join me in those prayers daily.

I was reminded of th story about George Washington's miraculous protection. The URL below tells the story. I thought you might find it interesting...inspiring.

Greetings and blessings in Jesus.

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust." Ps 91.1-2

Why do early? Because we have been having much problem with this TelCel internet service.
I thought I had better get this out while I am abl to get online. Please pray for us concerning that (Internet problems.)

Four days ago 12 year old Dolores Alejandra Carmona was hit by a car. Two days ago she died. She was very active in the Los Fresnos mission - and truly loved the Lord.

One of our pastors, Octavio, ministered at the funeral service. Over 100 people were attending and about 60 of them prayed the prayer to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. Pray with us for the follow up - many of them were from Dolores' family and the Los Fresnos mission.

Violence and drug wars continue to fill the headlines in Mexico - but difficult times produce open hearts many times - pray it will be so in Mexico...until the violence ceases.

We are fine. Linda is doing OK.

Thanks do much for your prayers for us, Mexico and the ministry here.

The photos are of Dolores Alejandra. Please pray for her family and the Los Fresnos mission.

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend - and shouting good time in God's House with His people Sunday.

In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update August 29

Greetings and blessings this pleasant Saturday afternoon!

We got the Youth Camp report this week. 370 youth attended from 14 churches.

25 young people prayed to get saved during the camp and 63 were filled with the Holy Spirit.

There were also several testimonies of physical healing and 7 young people experienced deliverance of one kind or another.

We have had several communiques from the American consulate here in Guadalajara – warning about danger spots (the drug war.) Hand grenades thrown into crowds of people; now a new tactic (for Mexico) – car bombs.

We were having a planning meal with some team members when one of them mentioned that last week several people were shot down in a gun battle on the avenue in from of the restaurant! We decided to eat and talk fast. (No, just kidding.)

Praying early this morning I was reminded of one of God's titles (Names) – Jehovah Shalom. What a wonderful Name – and assurance. Shalom – security, confidence. Enables us to face today, tomorrow, every day with peace, without fear; free of stress and worry and all anxiety.

The safest place in the world is in the center of His Will.

Our son's father-in-law went to Heaven this week. Gerray, Anita and all the Torres family are in our prayers.

Thank you for your prayers for us and the ministry here. Have a wonderful Lord's Day.

In Him,
Roger & Linda
Isaiah 26.3

Update August 22

Dear Friend,

Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

What a challenge for us in Paul's declaration in Ephesians 3.20 - to pray, believe attempt, expect dramatic things from and for God!

Last Sunday Linda was really under the weather - she got out from under it, though, and was able to minister to pastors' wives in Aguascalientes. (Photos on Facebook page)

We had 3 pray for salvation last week at Angulo and 3 more at the Estadio mission church. Praise the Lord.

At the recent "quinceañera" (15th birthday celebration) in Autlan we met another man who had gotten saved listening to the Agua Viva radio broadcast. Juan Hernandez from Ciudad Guzman. (Photo below.)

I am sending along this month's Good News from Mexico prayer letter, too.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers for us and the ministry here.
"Praying always ...for us, that utterance may be given unto us, that we may open our mouths boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel..."

In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update August 15

Greetings and blessings in Jesus.

Linda and I got back this morning from the "quinceañera" (15th birthday celebration) of the pastor's daughter at our Autlan Centro de Fe (Faith Center.) It was a very nice ceremony - there are always unsaved friends and relatives present at these events, and usually some of them come to the Lord.

I also met a man (Juan) and a lady (can't recall her name) who got saved listening to our Agua Viva program. That's always neat.

And some of the relatives present called to mind tremendous marvels of God's grace when they first came to the Lord.

Linda speaks to a meeting of pastors' wives on Tuesday in the city of Aguascalientes (about 2 1/2 hours away.) Please pray for her and that meeting - and for her strength. The Autlan trip really tired her out. She's really not feeling well today.

Your prayers are such a blessing - a real encouragement. Thank you for praying for us and the ministry here.

Have a wonderful day in God's House tomorrow.

In Him,
Roger & Linda

Greetings and blessings in Jesus, Our Lord.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14.12

What a promise. Do we believe it? What will happen when we DO?

I just got back from this year’s youth camp. What an alive bunch of people! 360 of them. The theme this year is “Filled with the Spirit.” I spoke to them on “The potential of a Spirit filed life” We had a wonderful response.

Youth camp ends tomorrow at noon. Please pray for a powerful closing to the week there.

I preach tomorrow in our Tapatio Faith Center and in the downtown Angulo Street Faith Center.
I request your prayers for those services, please.

And please pray for Mexico, Drug cartels are at war here…with each other and the government.
Thousands of persons (nobody knows…or will tell how many) have been killed. The Lord is the answer. Pray the leaders of the nation will see that.

One of our men met with a small group of pastors last Wednesday to pray for the mayor of one of Guadalajara’s suburbs, They are beginning to understand.

Four people prayed for salvation at the new mission, “Mision Estadio.” Praise the Lord. They are growing.

God is moving – Your prayers are helping! Thank you.

Have a wonderful day in His House tomorrow.

In Him,
Roger & Linda
