Greetings:
As we continue on deputation, we are continually reminded of the Lord's faithfulness, provision and direction! We stand amazed at the churches and Saints that He brings us into contact with and how He uses them to be a blessing and encouragement to us! Our Lord is such a faithful shepherd and guide! We also thank each of you who have a part through prayer, giving and service – we appreciate you and covet your continued labors and intercession on our behalf! (Psalm 23; 2 Thess. 3:3; 1 Thess. 5:25)
Deputation Updates:
Our travels this past month have taken us from Texas, through Louisiana and now up into Indiana. We were able to use some open time in our schedule to deliver a shipment of tracts, Bibles, Gospel materials and financial help to churches in southern Louisiana which will be reaching out to those uprooted by the recent hurricanes. We were also able to go into a number of the refugee centers in southern Louisiana to hand out tracts, Bibles and witness. Pray with us that those who were displaced by the hurricanes would be reached by the Gospel and that souls would be saved!
While hurricane Rita was approaching, we rode out the storm at a missions conference with the Shady Grove Baptist Church in Bossier City, LA. Thankfully, we did not see any damage, only high winds and heavy rainfall. Due to damage from the hurricane, we had a meeting canceled with Cornerstone Baptist Church in New Llano, LA. Please pray for this church and for each of the churches and saints displaced from the storms. Pray that they would have wisdom and boldness to use this opportunity to win many to Christ! Pray that as they rebuild and regroup that the Lord would meet provide for their needs in a special way!
We want to extend a special thanks to the saints at Marion Baptist Church in Marion, TX for their sacrifice and vote of confidence in taking us on for support! We are humbled and encouraged and trust the Lord will credit much fruit to your account! (Phil. 4:17)
Special Prayer Needed:
The Ayas - Last month, the Ayas lost their fourth child halfway through sister Monica's pregnancy and sister Monica nearly died at the hospital. Please pray that the Lord would give recovery, comfort and healing for the Ayas in this time of loss. Pray that there would be no further complications and for special peace and grace. (Psalm 116:15; Isa. 26:3-4; 2 Cor. 1:3-4)
“Kill all the Pastors” - Just one month ago, the military commander of the largest guerrilla organization in Colombia issued a very brazen order to “kill all the pastors” in Colombia. Even the media recognized this as being an unprecedented threat against the religions of the nation. Please pray for the physical safety of the Ayas and other missionaries and preachers in Colombia. Pray that the Lord would continue to give open doors for the proclamation of the Gospel. Pray that the Lord would use President Uribe and the leaders of Colombia to effectively maintain peace and order. (I Tim. 2:1-2)
