Weather report says it is 103 degrees and feels like 108. That is just normal Del Rio weather for this time of year.

I have had Father’s Day visits from my youngest daughter Sheryl and Son in law Joe. My Son, Cliff is ministering this weekend in Cd. Acuña and will return home tomorrow for his daughter’s twenty first birthday.

Ministry at the Detention Center has been interesting. I am having to acquaint myself more fully on the Quran as I am having the opportunity to minister to several Muslims. God grant me wisdom.

While most of the almost 200 men I have the incredible privilege to tell about the love of God listen and give mental assent, only a few get serious with God.       Jesus told us …….

Mat 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.

Mat 7:14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

Pray with me for God to have mercy on these men and draw them to Him.   The up side of the ministry, is those that do get serious begin to devour the Word in earnest. Some of these men after serving their time have gone on to pastor churches.

Church groups are starting to visit again and minister in the Mexican churches.   A lot of fear was sown because of the hyped up programs on TV about the border.

In all things, not just mission trips, we need to know God’s will.  He must direct our path.

I wish to thank everyone for their partnership in the work. Your God directed prayer and support is what God uses to enable the ministry and give success.   Thank you for everything.

Special thanks to Cliff for updating my blog program.
