Dear Praying Friends,

I am grateful to God for the faithful band of brethren who pray for us and give that we might labor among the Spanish-speaking peoples. Thank you, brethren!

First, the trip to the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston was blessed of the Lord, and we received a very good report there.

Dear Praying Brethren,

Greetings in Our Lord Jesus Christ!

Tuesday morning, since school-age children have not yet begun their school year yet, I invited 14-year-old Fabio over to play a game or two of chess with me. He enjoys the game, and being a mathematician, he loves the game too. As providence would have it, Mr. Severino called and asked if he could spray our weeds in the lot next door. When he came over he brought Fernando and Emily, two of his grandchildren with him. They are school-age children and from out of town, so they were visiting grandparents. Since grandma’s health is not good, they accompanied him on his daily activities. Well, Fernando does not play chess, but he caught on to Ping-Pong pretty quickly. David helped him and Fabio and Emily make a foursome and soon the game room sounded quite festive. An hour or so passed quickly and Mr. Severino was soon on his way with his grandchildren. Although Fernando was not much of a reader he chose a copy of Pilgrim’s Progress from my book shelves and said he would look into reading it. As you remember him, please pray for his and Emily’s souls.

December 2011 Report

Dear Pastor and Brethren:

Difficult Month!

The uncertainty of life greatly demonstrated itself when quite suddenly and without any expectation the wife of one of our district court judges died. She was working in her garden and told the gardener that she was tired and was going to lie down on the sofa and rest. She went into the house and didn’t come out again. The gardener went in to check on her and found her without life lying on the sofa. I tell you this because I often work with this judge with respect to the Latino men in the court system.

Dear Friends, January 13, 2012

We send you greetings for the New Year. We are facing what may turn out to be a year of many changes both in Mexico and internationally. Mexico’s presidential election in July and the November election in the USA may be a crucial turning point for both nations. We have some close ties (providentially via church members) to the Mexican presidential candidate who is leading the polls.

REPORT FROM THAILAND
By Wayne Camp

Acts 15:3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

It is with a great deal of joy that I write this report. We went to the first church that was started in this Thailand work (Pa Sak #1) for services on January 1, 2012. When the gong was sounded for the beginning of services people began to pour into the house of worship. When more than I had ever seen at this church were in the building I looked up and more were still coming in. They filled up every chair with the exception of two or three on the platform.
