Update Mother's Day

Greetings and Blessings this Mother's Day

I wrote earlier, thinking that was it. Since I wrote the government here has come forward with another directive - canceling all public gatherings (including church services) until May 18!

So we have spent the day mobilizing to get our people in home meetings tomorrow as much as possible. Of course, those that are already in cells are fine - but the rest needed to be directed toward a meeting place tomorrow and for the 17th. We have also already postponed a kids' ministry all day activity and may have to cancel the coming Encounter Retreat (May 15-17.)

Just think. of all the Gospel churches in Mexico (the whole country) that will not have meetings tomorrow and the souls that would have been won to the Lord. Certainly people can be reached in the home meetings, but others could have...would have been reached in the regular services, too. (Oh. One person DID receive the Lord last night in a cell metting in Los Fresnos.) Praise God for that.

Help us pray this virus off of the planet, please!

On another note - Happy Mother's Day all you moms.

In Him,

Roger & Linda

Update May 9

Greetings and blessings in Jesus.

I am sending my Saturday evening email a little early this week.

We didn't have anybody saved n the services last Sunday. We didn't HAVE any services. Church meetings all over Mexico were closed last Sunday because of the swine flu scare.

Today, things are getting back to normal. We have services tonight - though I won't be there. I was fine all through the "epidemic" but yesterday got a cough and slight cold! I don't want to scare anybody away from the service. They still have their eye out for people with symptoms (like mine!)

So I'll stay in until Sunday. Thank you for all your prayers for all of us in these days. We expect BIG things Sunday.

Our May Good News is online. This is the 425th edition!! God is good! And sooo faithful!

In Him,

Roger & Linda

Update May 3

Greetings and blessings of health and well being (Shalom!)

What a week. We celebrated services here in Guadalajara last Sunday (2 prayed for salvation at the Angulo church and three at the Tepic mission church.) We had a good cell meeting Monday night, but then the government closed down all church meetings until May 6 because of the swine flu thing.

We had one of our highest attendances ever last Sunday - people concerned about the seriousness of this epidemic. No telling what tomorrow would have been...we trust that the concern for their spiritual welfare will continue after the shut-down time for our meetings here in Guadalajara.

We had a good get together with the young married couples class this afternoon - had pozole. Umm! Good!

On another note, please pray for David and Becky Garcia, MRC missionaries to Managua, Nicaragua. Thier 19 year old son was killed Friday in a car accident.

Have a blessed Lord's Day. Enjoy for us, too! And thank you for praying for us and for Mexico.

In Him,

Roger & Linda

Update April 26

Greetings and lavish heavenly blessings!

It's been a blessed week. The Lord has answered several prayers - manifested some victories and granted us some new members into His Family.

We had 2 pray for salvation last week in the service, another on Thursday and 2 more in Francisco Peña's cell meeting.

We are all praying for the brothers and people in Mexico City - for this swine flu epidemic. I just got a call from Tim Ost - all church services there have been canceled. Contrary to the national (and international) news reports many more people have actually died there than is being reported!

We had our missions committee to breakfast here at "Linda's House" Friday. Planning the next month's activities and the missions week the first week of December.

And we enjoyed a short visit here at the house on Thursday from pastor friend, David Pursifull. He was here in Mexico leading a pastors' strategy meeting. Some of our guys went - very effective.

And our pastor in Leon tells me they celebrated their fourth session of the Titus 2 series Saturday. What a blessing that teaching/training series has been. People are getting saved and healed over there regularly!

Thank you - always for your prayer support for us and the ministry here. It REALLY matters.

Have a wonderful day loving and worshipping Jesus Sunday.

In Him,
Roger and Linda

Update April 19

Greetings and blessings in the Name of our resurrected Lord!

Just a short note - Linda and I took Monday - Wednesday to rest up and catch our breath. Of course, there was still stuff we had to dio, but it was a break.

We had 5 people pray in the service last week downtown at the Angulo church. I enjoyed ministering in an early service across town in the congregation of one of our sons in the ministry. It was there 15th anniversary as a church. I hoped to have a pic or 2, but they haven't sent them to me yet. Maybe next time.

The Lord provided the money to tile the carport roof. I can send a picture of that.

Reports from the mission churches are very good. Tepic, Vallarta and the Lord is moving wonderfully in the Leon church. Its great to get their excited reports.

And Sister Esperanza continues taking her newly formed team to minister at the Civil Hospital. They gave me a list of 40 people who prayed the last two weeks! I need to check that out. Anyhow, that's why we report people who "prayed for salvation." We'll see in a bit if they really got saved. Some folk down here pray several times before it takes!

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers. Linda is doing better. We are looking forward to great services tomorrow.

Be blessed in God's House with some of His other kids tomorrow.

In Him,
Roger & Linda

April 12 Update

Greetings and Ressurrection blessings!

I did it again this year...same BC picture. I love it!

Praise the Lord for "decisions for Christ." A group of our ladies went to the Civil Hospital cancer ward to minister last Tuesday. They ministered the love of Jesus, and 12 people prayed for salvation. Some of them are terminal.

So-called "Good Friday" we had 2 services and 14 people prayed for salvation. One more prayed to receive the Lord last Sunday. And Tepic reported 2 men receiving the Lord, also.

I would appreciate your prayers for Pastor Martin (Tepic) whos nephew drowned on Thursday. We always for for the Lord's help in those times, and for unsaved family to come to Jesus.

I also appreciate your prayers as I minister in the morning at a church started by a former member of the Angulo Center. Its their 15th "birthday."I preached on Friday morning at another church across town. Was a good meeting. I mentioned it last week.

Thanks for praying.

Have a joyful celebration of Life in His House today.

In Him,
Roger & Linda

Update April 5

Greetings and blessings in Jesus.

Thanks for your prayers...God answers. We had a good week. 4 people prayed in the downtown Angulo church, and 5 in the Tepic church. Colima reports new people coming to Jesus, and so does Sahuayo. Praise God.

This being Easter week, lots of religion in the air. Please pray for our special services this Friday. I will be ministering in a church across town in the morning and we will give 2 showings of The Passion movie downtown in the afternoon and evening.

Sunday morning I preach an early service for a pastor (former member at Angulo) and then we have our regular services at the Angulo church.

The youth had a month of Saturday evangelistic outreach at a main downtown plaza. I have a picture of them below. They did a good job.

Notice the Anahuac Indian monument - it tells their version of the creation story. The statue is a dove with a serpent's tail.

Again, your prayers are such a blessing and encouragement. Thank you.

Have a blessed day in His house with His children today - worshipping Him together.

I'm preaching on "Madurez es ser un dador" (Spiritual maturity is to be a giver)

In Him,
Roger & Linda
