Thank you! Your prayers keep our spirits encouraged, holds us up before the throne and keeps us on the right path. You are all very important to us. We try to keep you informed so that you know what to pray for and how your support is being used for the Lord! |

There are several missionary housing facilities with van rentals available near the McAllen/Mission areas. After visiting with you we can come up with a plan to fulfill where your heart is leading. From dramas, puppets, evangelism, etc., there is much work to be done to reach the lost for Jesus. Email us for the group info. Our website is having trouble not allowing us to post it.

EVANGECUBES NEEDED FOR SUMMER NICARAGUA CRUSADES! The EvangeCube is a seven panel cube that tells the story of the Gospel of Christ in pictures. It is not new but is the first time we've trained the pastors we work with in using these. We hope to take more back to Nicaragua. For an order of 96 or more they are $4.00 each. There is also a LARGE one (stretches to 16") that is $30. |
| CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITY Josephina & family, from the Dump Church are in need of closing in their porch for their boys to have a room. They live in a 12x16 (1 room) dirt floor home on the Rio Grande. They have a lean to & Nathan would like to close it in. It would also be nice to pour concrete for the floors also. We could do it ourselves with the supplies donated or perhaps someone could make this a mission opportunity. Pray about it. |
| CHIAPAS, MX (near Guatamala) Nathan received a call this week from a pastor who has 15 churches lined up for Nathan to work with. We're praying for God to show us the details! |

| RESCUE HOTEL BLANKETS! This past year the Precious Moments Hotel donated pre-slept in (cute, huh?) blankets that we distributed in Mexico. Now I was thinking....do all hotels get rid of those still nice & warm blankets? This might be a good project for 4-H, S.S. classes, etc - talk to your neighborhood hotels to see if you can collect them & then we can distribute them to those on the Mexico border! WHAT A GREAT IDEA! |
| DONATIONS! When sending donations please attach a note to the check saying what it's for RATHER then writing it directly on the check. It's an IRS thing. |

| ANSWERED PRAYER For a year we have prayed for a trailer to store our mission outreach/supplies. The Lord provided this trailer for $500. A new coat of pain, minor repairs & lumber to make shelves will make it good as new. What will we do with the empty space in the house & a walkway through the porch? |
