Mexico update

Dear Family and Friends,

We are very much enjoying our time in Mexico. There has been much going on. We completed a very intense weekend conf. with the young adults over the weekend and have spoken in 3 different assemblies thus far.

There is a meeting scheduled for this evening in yet another place. This weekend we will travel to Saltillo for another 2 days of meetings.

Please pray for continued good health, good ministry and receptive hearts. The saints here are very dear and many of them speak some english. There has been a translator for those who don't, mostly the older folks.

We expect to return home on the 18th and are so thankful that we were able to fly. Driving would have been difficult given this schedule.

Greetings to each of you and thank you again for your faithful prayers.

By His Grace,
Ken and Marti

Mexico or bust!

Well, come Friday Ken and I are flying to Mexico for ministry. Your prayers would be appreciated. The schedule will be very heavy. There will be a conf. on Sat and Sun. Daily devotional messages at the Christian school there thru the week with Mexican students in an English speaking environment. Speaking at area assemblies 3 or 4 nights and then another Sunday message at a different chapel. Other than the school all the speaking will be with an interpreter. Ken told them since we're coming the distance to just fill up the schedule.
We'll be seeing Tom and Sandy Peasland and the Wielengas from Torreon. (Not sure if I spelled that right!) We have prayed about doing this for several years and are finally seeing it happen.
Pray too that we will get no stomach bugs and for Joel as he remains home with different family members.
2 Cor. 4:5-6 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
