Sherwood Baptist Church has been blessed with a wonderful Christ-exalting pastor for just over 38 years. The Lord has chosen to call Paul Brown Sr. to the mission field. Our church will truly miss him, but will have the joy of continuing to support him as he serves in Thailand.
Pray for Sherwood as she seeks to continue on with the great calling of the Lord’s churches: to carry out the great commission both at home and around the world, to love one another, and to magnify and glorify the name of the Lord until He returns.

Dear Friends, May 14, 2013
I preached the anniversary of our mission in Morelia, Michoacan on Resurrection Sunday. They celebrated the first year of regular Sunday services. We had a good group of visitors from our sister churches who came from Queretaro and Guanajuato. The folks from Guanajuato rented a bus to accommodate about 50 people who made the trip. This work is located in the heart of ‘narco’ country and is going through the growing pains that new missions face.

Dear Praying Brethren,
Greetings in the Lord’s twice-told promises that we are not consumed because of His wonderful attributes of mercy and immutability: Lamentations 3:22, “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.” And Malachi 3:6, “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Forever we will praise Our Lord for such mercies!

"The more infirmities and weaknesses that hang upon us the more cause have we to keep close and constant to our closet duties. If grace be weak, the omission of private prayer will make it weaker. If corruptions are strong, the neglect of private prayer will make them stronger. The more the remedy is neglected, the more the disease is strengthened." - Thomas Brooks

Dear Friends
Thank you for the many beautiful cards and the inquiries I have received concerning my health. There were far more than I could possibly answer, especially while I was so sick. So to those who I failed to answer as well as those I did here is an update. (Click on attachment below to read complete Keener Thoughts and Medical Update.)

The Lord, by His grace, has seen fit to enable us to start midweek services on Thursday evenings at 7:30 at the Grace Baptist Church building. A young lady who attends Oklahoma State University expressed interest in our midweek services, and Bro. Dick Gaches graciously agreed to permit us to use the building.Our first meeting was blessed with nine people present on the 28 of this month, and I began a series of messages on the subject of “Biblical Soteriology.” (Read full reports for Feb. and March by clicking on attachments below.)

Dear Friends, March 14, 2013
We made a short trip to the USA the first weekend of this month. I preached at the annual Bible Conference of our home church in Broken Arrow. We enjoyed the time of fellowship and the challenging theme of biblical evangelism. We were a little surprised by the cold weather. Lissa was sick for most of the trip and is still trying to get back her strength from a bad case of the flu.

Dear Praying Friends,
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." 2 Cor 4:7. I think of this verse often. I feel like Paul felt often -- troubled, perplexed, and weak. Who am I to stand and preach His Gospel? Only a sinner, saved by grace. Undeserving for sure. An earthen vessel. But privileged! To bear this treasure! To proclaim the riches of His grace! To be an instrument in His hands! Thank you Lord for such a joy and blessing as this!

Brethren,
Attached you will find some photos in a slide show. They are pictures of the progress on an office brother Andres is having constructed for the ministry in Agua Caliente and surrounding areas. Some of you contributed funds to help him accomplish this goal. I thought you might like like to see construction in the mountains of Chihuahua.

Dear Pastor and Brethren:
In Retrospect
Time is swiftly passing. I remind myself of the old refrain, “Only one life, t’will soon be passed, only what’s done for Christ will last.” Last year offered some difficult events, but the Lord blessed us through all of them. (click on attachment below to read full report)
