Praying for an Open Door
“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ…” Col. 4:2,3a. My pastor and preacher friend visited us in Aguascalientes a couple of years ago and, after seeing the vast sea of houses with more being built, they decided to pray for the Lord of the harvest to send one hundred missionaries to Aguascalientes, Mexico. So you will understand better the need for more laborers, apart from the metropolitan city there are 1,856 villages, ranging from 2,000 to 8,000 people in each one, scattered all over the state of Aguas. That means that if 100 missionaries arrived tomorrow, each one would have to reach eighteen and a half villages. That doesn’t touch the city of nearly a million people. Please pray with us for Open Doors to be able to reach more of these precious people. Pray for laborers to go and work in this vast field of souls. “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:38. Pray also as we train the nationals to work and to harvest souls. To God be the glory for what He does.
Bound for Mexico
We have just finished a short furlough, about six months. This Wednesday we are heading for Mexico. The Lord was good in that He took good care of us while we traveled. We covered several thousand miles and were in several churches. God also blessed and used us in these churches to minister to the people, to stir them in the area of world evangelism, to share with them what the Lord is doing in Aguascalientes. We were able to raise the extra needed support. The Lord is good!
Pray for us as we travel many miles to get back to Aguascalientes. The border crossing some-times can be difficult so we are praying that it will go smooth. Of course, we are looking forward to seeing our people and getting back into the work there. The construction is going well. I talked with Pastor Oscar this morning and he was going to start pouring the concrete into the columns around the walls.
The next step will be preparing to put the roof on the first floor. Pray that this will go up very quickly. It appears that they will be able to be in the building way before the year deadline. He was also encouraging about the report of the second work and the good attendance they had Sunday.
