Greetings and Blessings in Jesus' Name! Exalted Name. Glorious Name. Life-, Love-, Liberty-filled Name.

Thanks for your prayers for me last week. It was a GOOD time in the Monterrey, Mexico area. I got to preach the opening session of the Bible School conference, and twice at the San Nicolas, Monterrey Center and twice at th San Isidro church. About ten people came to the altar at the first service in Monterrey, and about 6 more at the second service.

Five people prayed for salvation here at the Angulo Center in Guadalajara while I was away. The ministry team did a great job.

We have a special supper this coming Friday night for the young married couples in the congregation. Their's is a growing number, and we need to start a ministry aimed at their group. Please pray for God's direction and blessing.

We just got news that we are back on the air in the Puerto Vallarta station. Very important! The work there is new and growing, but the radio program helps bring in more new people.

Greetings and blessings this beautiful Lord's Day.

Had a good meeting last night at "El Ejido" out at Sn Isidro with Pastor Chano and the people. We planted that church in 1967. They are going good. Some great testimonies across the years.

One - they were praying for a demon possessed girl who was tranquilized because she was so violent. They prayed and then left. The pastor had been served a cup of coffee while they were ministering. He drank about half, and left the other in the room. After a bit the girl came to, saw the coffee and drank it. When they went back to check on her, she was delivered...permanently. How about that?

I look forward to 2 great meetings today - here in Monterrey and again at San Isidro this evening. Thanks for your prayers.

Linda's pajama party with her ladies was great. And they "cleaned the kitchen!" I mean- ate all the food! It was a good time for all. Bible study, prayer and fellowship.

Have a glorious day in the Lord's House with His people today.

Greetings and Choice Blessings,

A little behind schedule here---computer "uncooperation."

We had a grand week - for us. The Encounter Retreat was blessed by the Lord tremendously. 49 people went as "encounterees" and 15 received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit while 16 were baptized in water.

We had 5 people come to the altar for salvation in the church, and 10 people baptized in the Holy Spirit. PTL.

Prayer requests:

1. Amy Hart Stockstill - haven't had any news this past week - but we need to keep praying for her. Its super urgent! You can keep up with the situation at http://www.joelstockstill.com/
2. I leave Tuesday for conference and meetings in north Mexico. I will be gone all week. I would appreciate your prayer covering for this trip and ministry.
3. Linda's cough is a little better. She needs all her strength and health for her own activities while I am away.
4. Pray for Agua Viva radio programs. The Lord continually amazes me with the reports and testimonies that come from that aspect of our ministry

Have a wonderful Lord's Day.

We have so MUCH to celebrate in HIM!

Greetings and Blessings this beautiful Sunday morning.

This afternoon 49 people will be returning from a 48-hour life-changing Encounter Retreat! It is always amazing to see what the Lord does in the lives of those attending these encounters. Please pray that these last few hours of the Encounter will be especially powerful.

We had 4 people pray for salvation last Sunday. I have word of some others that received the Lord in a follow-up home visit, but no hard figures. Praise God for each one.

The Pastors’ Regional meetings very good.- the sessions were challenging and edifying. Thanks for praying. Everyone got here safely, and then home safely.

A couple of pics of the Pastors’ Meeting are below.

Please be praying for Arturo, the young truck driver who was recently diagnosed with intestinal cancer. God answered your prayers for Erica. She is MUCH better. In fact she is helping minister at the Encounter this weekend! Praise the Lord.

Have a glorious day in Father’s House today.

In Him,

Roger & Linda

• Linda’s Titus 2 meeting went well. It was the first session of the new group.
• 79 ladies attended, and after the meeting several began to tell what a blessing that session was.
• Please pray for the other 6 sessions to follow – one each month for 6 more months.
• Three people prayed for salvation last week – please pray more people will come to the Lord today and this week.
• Erica is better – almost miraculous, the turnaround we see in her since last Sunday! Thanks for praying.
• The Youth “Concentración” was good last night. A photo below shows part of the group during the message time.
• Please pray for the meetings today – and the Regional Pastors’ meeting tomorrow. Pastors will be coming from 5 states for the all day meeting.

Greetings and blessings in the Name of the Lord of Glory!

Last week we had 6 people pray for salvation here in the Angulo church. Some others (4 I believe) in cell groups. Praise God.

I had a visit from Rogelio Valencia of Mazatlan. He came all the way to tell how the Lord had healed him of excruciating shooting pain in his neck and the back of his head. No medical relief was found, but he prayed with us one day as we prayed for the sick, and the Lord healed him.

I received a letter from the pastor of our Merida church - 5 years ago a woman and her mother-in-law were both healed and saved through our program there. Last week they were witnessing to neighbors in their need; asked the pastor to help them minister. Five people in the family received the Lord. PTL!

Please pray for:
1. Linda starts a new Titus 2 series of teaching this Friday
2. Saturday is our bi-monthly city-wide youth conference
3. Next Monday is our quarterly regional pastors' meeting.

Your prayers are SUCH a blessing and help. Thank you!

Have a wonderful time today with the Lord in His House where you are.

In Him,

Greetings and blessings in Jesus.

This week was rather calm - I preached 4 times, had a lot of counseling sessions and we had 4 people pray for salvation.

I have a couple of urgent prayer requests

1. Erica Diaz is in the hospital for a spleen operation. She's the wife of one of my 12. (Well, she's also in Linda's 12.)

2. Ofelia is a little Mixteco lady (Felix and Ofelia are also our cell members) and she has 2 large tumors on the out side of her uterus, and a bunch of little ones inside! They SO wanted to have a child...and now this.

Thanks for your prayers and support...for us, the work, and these petitions.

Have a wonderful Lord's day and week ahead.

In Him,
Roger & Linda
