The mexican brothers are advancing the work at Sumidero. They have finished the tile on the dormitory room and all the plastering in the womens bathrooms.

The Word

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Author, C.J.  Mahaney tells us in his book "The Cross Centered Life"

"First importance.  The Bible tells us that, while there are many different callings and many different areas of  service in the kingdom of God, one transcendent truth should define our lives. One simple truth should motivate our work and impact each part of who we are.

Christ died for our sins.

If there is anything in this life that we should be passionate about, it should be the gospel.  And I do not mean only about sharing it with others.  We should be passionate in thinking about the gospel, meditating on it, being delighted in it, permitting it to transform the way we look at the world.  Only one thing should be of first importance to each one of us.  And only the gospel should be.” 

John 4:8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

 

  • Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins which is eternal death and separation from God and man.
  • Jesus Christ has risen from dead to prove himself to be the Son of God and that to all those who believe in Him have hope that they to will rise and live with Him forever.
  • Jesus Christ ascended to heaven and prays for all of humanity that we would repent and believe on Him and love Him the way He loves us.
  • Jesus Christ promised and will return, at the end of time, for all of us who believe and trust Him.

 

We do not come from the goo! We did not just slime our way into exsistence!

We were created to live in harmony, peace and in love with one and other, and with our loving heavenly Father. That’s the hope, the destiny, the truth for all who believe.


“Jesus Christ” “Savior of the World”

CONVENTION & BIBLE SCHOOL UPDATE

 

Wisconsin Group

 

We received a group from Living Hope Church in Ridgeland, WI from January 9 - 16 this year. This dynamic team accomplished much in the short time they were here. We went to Tenixtepec on Sunday, Jan. 11 to pour a floor in a mission church. The group also supplied funds for electrical work that was done. Afterwards we enjoyed a great meal of fried chicken. For the next three days the team worked in Sumidero and poured a sidewalk measuring 150 ft. long by 6 ft. wide. They also excavated land to prepare a place for the buses to park during the annual convention. A side trip was made to Orizaba in quest of the thickest blankets that could be bought, then a free day in Vera Cruz where everyone got their fill of shopping for souvenir to take home.

 

PASTOR’S MEETINGS

 

Jeff has recently begun holding meetings designed to train and strengthen pastors and leaders. As of this date the zone had been divided in to three groups. Jeff, along with the superintendent of the zone, meets with each group on a monthly basis. The meetings are designed to develop the local churches to become healthy and strong, full of the power of the Holy Spirit and the glory of God. This is accomplished through five areas:

 

1) teachings on the Word of God;

 

2) provision of a course study, "Foundations of the Faith";

 

3) through providing an opportunity of fellowship, prayer, and care;

 

4) providing discipleship training, development and training of new leaders for the future;

 

5) encouraging the local church to evangelize.

 

FAMILY UPDATES

 

We are happy to report that Terri’s mom, Mary Browning, 68, is doing very well. She is now driving, walking, and shopping. Her current goal is to walk for 30 minutes a day. Please continue to pray for her as she has recently undergone a series of tests to determine if there is a blockage of blood flow to one of her kidneys, which may result in another surgery.

 

Jeff’s mom, Betty Dietrick, 82, has recently learned that she has breast cancer. Doctors are doing further testing to see what her options will be. Please keep her in your prayers also.

 

Jeff and I are doing well. I (Terri) am meeting with our neighbor, Rosalia Lau, to pray and we are doing a study of Dutch Sheet’s Intercessory Prayer. Sherlock continues to both terrorize and fascinate the Mexican population.

 

PRAYER REQUESTS

 

1) for Earl Kellum’s family

 

2) for Terri’s continued health and strength

 

3) for our mothers, Mary Browning and Betty Dietrick

 

4) The Pastor’s Meeting - that the pastors would catch a vision for the importance of this meeting; that the Holy Spirit would touch their hearts and give them a desire for God’s Word; that God would use the meeting to raise up new leaders in the churches; that the pastors would be diligent to complete the "Foundations of the Faith" course.

 

5) that Jeff would have unity to flow with the superintendent of the churches here; wisdom and strength that he will need now that he will be the primary person in charge of all groups coming to the Sumidero area and the construction of the Megaproject Bible and Conference Center.
