Dear Friends and Family Members, John 8:36 says: “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” I pray you are walking in the freedom and peace the Lord has provided for each of us. To be bound by fear or anxiety is a heavy burden Jesus wants to lift from us. We again are grateful for the mercy and grace of God for preserving our villages from a powerful hurricane. Hurricane

Dear Friends, “And being assembled together with them, He [Jesus] commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. . .you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in

Dear Friends, “Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16 “They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing, to declare that the Lord is upright; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” Psalm 92:14-15 Like many as we grow older, I have certainly experienced my ‘outward man’

Soon it will be Christmas and another year is in the books. Let’s seek to use our time wisely.  I must admit, with the Olympics on TV, I’ve certainly spent too many hours viewing sports I wouldn’t normally give a minute to watch, i.e. synchronized swimming,

Dear friends, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” 3 John 2 We pray for each of you, that as your spiritual life strengthens you would equally experience financial prosperity and physical health. We have enjoyed an active season being involved in a new church being established by our long-time friend, Pastor Lee Short. Christ’s Church is in Bucerias, 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, and
