Brothers and sisters in Christ,

"Praise the LORD!...Praise Him for His mighty acts! Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him!... Praise Him!... Praise Him!... Praise Him!... Praise Him!... Praise Him!... Let everything that has breath, Praise the LORD!!! Praise ye the LORD!!!" ~Psalm 150. The Lord is so worthy of all our praise! Think back and stand in awesome wonder at how He redeemed us! He bought us with His blood! He brought us from death to life! From darkness to light! He took us off the highway to hell, and put us on the road to heaven! Hallelujah!!! "When the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life!" ~Titus 3:4-7. Never lose the wonder!!! "He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth ~ Praise to our God! Many will see and fear, and will trust in the LORD!" ~Psalm 40:1-3.

Praise the Lord for what He has done as we were in Belize! Thank you for your ministry of prayer! No prayer ~ No power! It is true, as Christ is lifted up, hearts are drawn unto Him! Last week as we were in Belize, we would start our day with worship and the word + prayer! A woman who has a small food shop down the road told us she could hear the praises in the morning. The Lord was drawing her! On Sunday she came to the church for the first time! Praise the Lord!

The Lord gave us an open door in La Gracia to work with the school. Every day we had a time with the children and teachers, where we would sing and share the Word of God! We would also teach through puppets, drama, and object lessons. We taught the importance of hiding God's Word in our hearts. What a Joy to see children give their lives to Jesus! When we first came, and would ask the children to stand as we sang, the children remained seated. On the Monday, the last day, we asked the children, "If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior either today or this week, and if you desire to follow Jesus, stand on your feet!" What a JOY!!! O how heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents! Praise the Lord for the many children, and two teachers who took a stand for Jesus Christ!!!

The Lord also opened a door for the Word of God in the Buena Vista School! We were told early in the week that we would not be able to get into that school to share the Gospel, BUT GOD opened the door!!! Hallelujah!!! Not only did He open doors, He also opened eyes and hearts! What a joy!!! We had two meetings there, one with the younger children, and one with the older children. Then after the older children left, some of the neighborhood children who do not go to school, came to the door and asked what was going on??? The Lord was opening another door for His Word! We were able to share the Good News with them! I can still hear the one girl when I asked, "Have you heard this before?" She said, "No." WOW!!! The Lord opened the doors, and he opened the eyes, and the hearts to Jesus!!! What a JOY to see her and others call on the name of the Lord Jesus for salvation!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

Saturday, we went to the market, and once again, we saw the Lord open doors for His Word! Six people gave their lives to Christ! Hallelujah!

What a JOY to worship with the family of God on Sunday morning at Blackman Eddie Baptist Church, and then in the evening at Inglesia Bautista Buena Vista! The Lord is building His church! The gates of hell will not prevail! Hallelujah!

What a reminder the Lord gave us on Monday, that God answers prayer! While we were ministering in the school, Tony and Tom were visiting and encouraging other believers. They met up with a woman whom we met last year. Last year she asked us to pray for her husband to be saved. She shared with them that her husband has been born again, and is serving Jesus in the church in La Gracia! Hallelujah!!!

Please continue to pray for these precious believers in Belize, that they will grow in God's grace and in the knowledge of the Lord! Pray also for John and Beate Vandermark as they continue to serve the Lord Jesus there at Bridge the Gap Belize! Pray for Pastor Mark and Brenda Liedtke and their family as Mark is Pastoring two churches. Pray that the Lord would strengthen them by His grace, and use them for His glory! May the Lord continue to add to His church, and transform lives for the Praise of His Glory!!! ~Ephesians 1.

Thank you for your encouragement to us! It is so refreshing to know that you are standing with us in prayer! Pray for Lakeside Bible Chapel! May the Lord be lifted high and draw hearts to Himself! Pray for the ongoing outreach ministry, that the Lord would give us wisdom to win souls! Pray that the Word of God would run swiftly and be glorified!!!~2.Thess.3:1. May the Lord Jesus be glorified in you and your family! May He send times of refreshing from His presence!!!

We love you and thank the Lord for you!
Keep Burning & Shining 4 JESUS!!!
Till we see His face!

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

People need the Lord! All around us, and everywhere we go, there is the same urgent need! JESUS! If someone is breathing, they need Jesus! For there is a day that will come to everyone. The Word of God says, "And as it is appointed for men once to die, but after this the judgement." (Heb.9:27) Too many are trying to push this reality out of there minds. They want their ears tickled, and they want them tickled good. But, friend no matter how much we may try to put it off, every day, we are one day closer. Every step, we are one step closer. With every breath, we are one breath closer to this reality. The wisest may who ever lived, King Solomon wrote of the urgent reality. In the book of Proverbs, he wrote, "Hell and destruction are never full." (Prov.27:20) Again, he tells us that the grave is never satisfied, and the fire never says, "Enough!" (Prov.30:15-16) We are living in a day when people do not want to hear of death, and judgement, but it is coming!

Recently I spoke with an elderly woman. She said, "Why would I want to go to heaven? ...When I die I just want to go six feet under ground." And yet the reality still stands..."And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after death the judgement." You may question, "Why so urgent?" or "Why are you even talking about this?" Many people when asked the question, "If you died today, are you sure that you would be in heaven?", they tell me, "I try not to think about it". O Friends! The reality still stands! "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after death the judgement.

Recently, I received word that a man who used to come to church occasionally died suddenly of a heart attack. I remember the last time we spoke. He took his sin as a joke. I remember warning him with the Word of God. Jesus said, "Unless you repent, you will perish." (Lk.13:1-5) He shrugged it off, and ignored the reality. Remember what the apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church? "Those who perish" -perish- "Because they did not receive the love of the Truth, that they might be saved." (2.Thess.2:10) This reality is so very sobering! People need the Lord!

The Word of God says that God is..."not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance!" (2.Pet.3:9) "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!" (Rom.5:8) "The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost." (Lk.19:10) & "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved! How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?" Paul goes on and says, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of Peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Rom.10:9-15)

O Friend! As you carry the Good News, the Lord says, "You have beautiful feet!" The other day, Rachel and I were talking to a young man about Jesus. He said, "You guys are the third people to talk to me today about Jesus." I met a man yesterday, who told me that someone was talking to him about Jesus! Another man told me that some was just talking to him about His need of salvation! HALLELUJAH!!! Somebody has beautiful feet!!! God does not want anyone to go to hell! That is why Jesus died for our sin and rose from the grave! He made the way of salvation! JESUS is the ONLY WAY of salvation! He is sending out His laborers into the harvest field! We must redeem the time! We must go to the lost as dying men and women, reaching out to dying men and women! Jesus said, "I AM the resurrection and the life! He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live! and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die! Do you believe this?" (John 1:25-26)

Jesus said, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few! Therefore PRAY the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest!" (Lk.10:2) He says, "PRAY!" and then He says "GO!". May we answer the call and say, "Here am I, send me!" May the Lord bring in a great harvest of souls for the GLORY of the LAMB!!!

We are so thankful to the Lord for you all! We covet your prayers! Pray that the Lord would give us wisdom as we reach out to the lost. Pray that the Lord would open blind eyes, and turn hearts from darkness to light, from the power of satan to God. (Acts 26:16-18) Pray that Christ Jesus would be glorified in and through His church! Pray that as He is lifted up, hearts would be drawn to Him! 

Please pray for me as on Monday, I will be heading down to Belize to join up with the outreach team at Bridge the Gap Ministries. I will be with them fom the 7th through the 15th. Pray! Pray! Pray! May the Lord Jesus be glorified! May the church be edified! May souls be saved! Pray that the Lord would lead us into the works He has prepared for us. (Eph.2:10)

DON'T MISS PRAYER MEETING!! Whatever night your church gathers for prayer, purpose in your heart to be there! Jesus said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer!" (Matt.21:12-16)

Thank you for standing in the GAP on your knees!
We love you, and thank the Lord for you!
Keep Burning & Shining 4 Jesus!
Till we see His face!
