2008 Fraternidad Cristiana National Convention
Every year, the association we work with, The Fraternidad Cristiana (Christian Fellowship) has a convention to celebrate the unity of the brethren. From July 16 -19 the theme was “Extending the Kingdom”.
Crying out to the Lord
Baptism in San Rafael Caleria
Sunday, July 13, was a joyful day in San Rafael Caleria. The entire church went to a local river to celebrate the baptism of four women. The woman in the photo, Coti, came up praising the Lord, having also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit while she was under water! We returned to the church for praise and worship and took Communion.
After wards, everyone shared a meal and fellowshipped together.
iBEK: Instituto Biblico Earl Kellum
Jeff began teaching Basic Doctrine to the
second generation of students July 28 and will finish August 15. During the convention all the students sold corn, soda, and candy to raise money for their weekly trips ministering in various churches.
There are 5 new mattresses.

Dietrick Updates
The hot month of July has come and gone, but there was no sipping lemonade and swinging in a hammock at the Dietrick’s house! We renewed our FM3 Renter’s Visas which gives us permission to stay in Mexico another year. This document is renewable each year for 5 years. A tourist visa only lasts 6 months.Terri’s cell phone went through the washing machine and survived with major infirmities.Therefore, all contact should be made through Jeff’s cell phone.
Jeff and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary on June 12 and we celebrated Jeff’s birthday on July 24. We came home from the birthday celebration in Veracruz to discover our dog, Sherlock, had gotten sick and vomited all over the house. Guess what Jeff’s wish was when he blew out the
candles?!

 Children’s Ministry
Over 1200
people attended the 8th National Convention this year. The tent was 60
x 180 feet and it was jam packed every night. It was a time of reunions
and renewing relationships with the pastors and families with whom we
work. It was also a time of renewal with the Lord through praise and
worship and teachings.
New Relationships in Catemaco
On
Father’s Day we traveled to Catemaco to visit the church “Open Heavens
to the Nations” led by Pastor Justino and his wife Maria. The 3 1/2 hour
drive was beautiful! Two students from iBEK went with us. After a short
teaching we had a time of prophecy over the church members. It was well
received and the accuracy confirmed that it was from the Lord.
16 new beds for the dorm rooms.
A generous
donation by Dennis, Diane and DavidKilkenny, along with ourselves,
helped buy 5 new mattresses for the bunk beds. We donated sheets,
towels and toiletries and clothing to be used by the students. We also
donated our 15-passenger van to iBEK with the stipulation that we could
use it when we have groups. Now they can make all their trips in one
vehicle instead of three.
His Harvest is a ministry based in Latin America dedicated to helping prepare men and women to serve the Lord Jesus Christ
in their homeland and abroad.
We desire that the good news about Christ be shared in every language, to
every nation, people and tribe. That every
heart would discover the love of God and come to know the
only true Lord and Savior.
We would like to invite you to explore our web site and see what the Lord is doing through this ministry.
His Harvest also offers opportunities for you to join with us in the work. Perhaps your local church would be interested in sending a team to do outreach, medical missions and/or church construction. Sometimes we receive youth who desire to serve with us for an extended short term. You may desire to join with us through prayer and intercession. If any or all of these ministry opportunities look interesting please feel free to contact us.
