By the Grace of God

“He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” Romans 8:32 (ESV)

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Psalms 103:2-5 (ESV)

Dear Friends,

I am greatly encouraged and amazed. The lovingkindness of God is truly awesome! Last July I was brought to Seymour, Texas after ten days in the Shannon Medical Center located in San Angelo. In the natural my prognosis was not good. BUT GOD!!

All dressed up for my granddaughter, Lauren’s, wedding, March 31st.

By the grace of God, since arriving here, His healing and saving power has been remodeling and repairing this old clay house of mine. While there is still some work to do, for the first time since being here I have both energy and desire to minister. This last weekend I got acquainted with the folks at Templo Sinaí here in town. I’m looking forward to working with them and other places!

This month I was able to facilitate sending money for bibles to a pastor in Nepal. His name is Obed. Pray for him as God puts him on your heart. He had an accident on his motorcycle and was badly burned on his leg.

As my health continues to improve, pray for effectual open doors of ministry. There is much need in both the English and Spanish churches. I need wisdom, discernment and Holy Ghost ideas. Seeing a need and helping fill it is something I have always tried to do. God Alone must order when and how.

I wish to thank you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, first of all for faith-filled prayer on my behalf. In the devotion of John Donne (1624), he said,

“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.”

If I understand the metaphor, we need each other. None of us can overcome the adversities of life without God and each other.

I am greatly blessed and humbled by your generous and steadfast support. Thank you. I am very grateful.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” 2nd Corinthians 13:14 (ESV)
