December 2010 Newsletter

Life goes through cycles and the church is no exception. Some of the cycles are short and repetitive, while others are long and drawn out.

In our State of Nayarit we have walked the churches through a cycle of inner strengthening and consolidation. Through Bible studies and systematic teachings the church body has been strengthened through a time of testing. In the last couple of months we have seen an influx of new people who are not only visiting, but are also having a life changing experience with Jesus Christ. Some of these people have been irregular visitors in years past but now the Holy Spirit has brought them into conviction and a new way of life.


As we mentioned in past letters, we started a small business venture in our spare time that has opened many new doors in government, business and with new people in general. The end of October Philip was commissioned by the Mexican government to travel to Toronto, Canada for two days to promote Mexican exports in the area of food products. Brother David was also able to go along and spend time visiting family. This past weekend Philip was once again traveling in Mexico by invitation through the business. His contact in Mexico City called to ask how he can become a Christian after spending a day with Philip on business. Please keep this business venture in your prayers as we look for Christian investors who want take our business worldwide. We desire to continue to dedicate our lives to missions, evangelism and training of national leadership.


On another note we are praising the Lord for Sister Elizabeth’s healing from cancer. After only 3 chemo treatments and a lot of prayer God performed the miracle.

On the 1st of December Philip will be going into hospital for vascular surgery on his leg. All going well he will only be in hospital overnight, and within a month he should be back to 100%. Please keep him in your prayers.

I want to leave with you a saying that I read which has changed my way of looking at the gift of FAITH.

“If God gave you a watch, is it any less faith to use the watch
than to ask God for the time?"
