Big Day on Easter Sunday
Praise the Lord for His blessings! Easter Sunday the Lord blessed as we had a record attendance of 98! We were going to set our goal for anniversary in October for 100. I guess we’ll have to set it higher. We had a great day as both classes of kids sang specials as well as the young people.
After church we all loaded up and drove by Bro. Oscar’s church as it was their first Sunday in their new building. It was good for our people to see as we trust one day to have our own building as well. Then we headed out to the institute to have a dinner on the ground and to baptize 9 precious people. Pray for their continued growth in the Lord.


A Big Open Door
“Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,” 2 Cor. 2:12. In Aguascalientes, there is a huge annual fair. It lasts four weeks. People come from all over Mexico and other parts of the world. We were given 5,000 cd’s of Bible Stories for kids. Our people made 1,000 felt wordless books and then packaged them in a bag with an explanation of what the colors mean. They also made 2,000 bracelets with beads in the same colors. We bought 3000 tracts for kids that explain the colors of the beads on the bracelet. A pastor friend of ours had his church make almost another thousand bracelets.

A booth at the fair is very expensive, more than we could even pay for one week. However, through a contact we got a booth for 10 days free! Our people got busy making a puppet stand, practicing puppet shows, putting packets together and above all praying. Our young people dressed up like clowns and passed out hundreds of tracts and wordless books while one would be explaining the wordless book. We probably won’t know the fruit from this endeavor till we get to heaven but we trust that God’s Word will not return void.
