What wonderful accomplishments were made in 2004.  In April we had our Pastors Seminar.  It was a refreshing time in the Lord for all the pastors and people that attended.  Bro. Joey Yeatts did a wonderful job teaching.

We thank the Lord for the services and pastors meetings we have each month.  Souls are being saved and many encouraged.

Our new work in Monterrey is doing well and many are being saved.  Pastor Juan Morin is really a good full time pastor and worker for the Lord.  There are already about 40 saved, coming to services.  We are looking for land to build a church on.  Presently we are renting an old warehouse that lacks many things.  We need $50.00 monthly support for Pastor Juan.  He is worthy.

What a blessing Campmeeting 2004 was this year.  It’s so good to worship and fellowship with our Mexican brethren.  We had good teaching and preaching each day.  There were classes for the young people, juniors and small children.  Several souls were saved and many blessed.  God met our needs.  We had plenty food and a place for everyone to sleep.  Our new dorm and bath house certainly was appreciated.  Thanks to everyone that had a part in supplying the material needs.  We praise God for blessing us with His wonderful presence.

The ministry that we do is such a blessing to us.  Preaching the gospel, instructing lost souls how they can be saved by the shed blood of Jesus is a great privilege.  We truly enjoy giving the basic needs of life to the poor.  How it touches our hearts to see the smiling children when they receive school supplies, shoes and clothing.

We gave a dear elderly sister a nice dress recently.  At our last pastor’s meeting she came to Sis. French with a big smile on her face.  She had the dress on and was patting it.  In her hand she had a gift.  She had made six small crocheted scarves.  She wanted to give something to us.  Our hearts were blessed and we thank God for the opportunity to do good for the needy.
