“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Rom. 1:16

Deputation Updates & Travels:
After finishing up the Missions Conference at our home church, we had a little time to pack and prepare for our Colombia Trip (May 9-18) – and boy did we need it - there were so many last minute details that needed to be taken care of! Finally, everything was packed and ready for us to leave and the children (all except baby Joel) to remain here in the U.S. with some missionary friends. The trip and time in Colombia went well, although it is hard to believe 8 days could go by so fast! We were able to be with the Way of Salvation Baptist Church in Bogotá and get to know some of the believers as well as visit the discipleship classes being held twice weekly in Nocaima, about and hour and a half west of Bogotá. Also, we were present in a number of the discipleship sessions Bro. Aya holds each week. We appreciate your special prayers for us during this time, as we saw the Lord’s hand of protection, leadership and abundant provision.
Colombian Newspaper Ad:
and 14 had already been completed and mailed back!! We also had one man call and come in person to speak with Bro. Aya and make a profession of faith. I was able to help Bro. Aya with the packaging, mailing and expense of the first several hundred courses, but with mailing expenses of a little over a dollar each for the first study, the initial funds have been exhausted. While over 2,400 have been mailed out, there are already 40-50 waiting to be mailed and hundreds more expected to come (in addition to those who complete the first course and return it requesting the second study). We will be sending additional money to help cover printing, mailing and supplies, but if you would like to have a part in sending a John/Romans, along with a Gospel tract and salvation study on the book of John to interested Colombians, please mark your gift “Newspaper Responses” and send it to:
Central Baptist Church, P.O. Box 430, Bowie, TX 76230.
New Supporting Church:
We want to thank the Saints at Lighthouse Baptist Church in San Marcos, TX for adopting us into their mission family and allowing us to be a part in helping them to fulfil the Great Commission!
Prayer Requests:
We would ask you to pray for us as we try to determine a target date to set for our departure to Colombia. We are looking at a time-frame of late April or early May of 2007. Pray that we would have the wisdom to know when the Lord’s perfect timing would be. We will need to have our visas, and we need wisdom about when to purchase airline tickets. The farther in advance we can do this could mean that we could save several thousand dollars.
Another of our greatest needs is to schedule meetings to fill up the summer months. Please pray that the Lord would direct our steps and guide us to like-minded churches that would partner with us in taking the Gospel to Colombia and the regions beyond.
Prayer Challenge:
"The energies of the universe, nay, of God Himself, are at the disposal of those
who pray - to the man who stirreth up himself to take hold of God." – Samuel Zwemer
The Lord Bless You Richly as You Serve Him Today!
