From Lewisville to Houston and Inbetween

We started the weekend at Iglesia Bautista Fundamental in Lewisville, Texas. We had previously presented the ministry at Pastor Ortiz's church, but I had an open Sunday morning and he had offered us to come and speak to the soul winners on Saturday and then go soul winning with them. Then on Sunday morning we went to hear Dr. Darrell Moore speak on stewardship. Saturday was a great time getting to meet and witness to many Chin people from Burma that live close to Pastor Ortiz's church. I was also able to lead a Spanish lady named Miriam to the Lord. She is supposed to come to church the following week. Someone from Brother Ortiz's church will follow up with her, so I will be praying that she will come. While there we got to see Assistant Pastor David Ortiz and his family. He and his wife (Idaly) have a new baby girl. It was great to see them, especially since I remember Brother David when he was a young child many years ago. They are growing up fast, which must mean I am getting old... maybe not old, just older. Ha!

Then Sunday night we went to the Open Door Baptist Church in Mesquite with Pastor Bob Ross. I was able to present the ministry there giving testimony for about 20 minutes and then showing our video. The Pastor then got up and had the church vote right away to take us on for support. What an honor for us to now be partnering with this church. We were treated so well, it was very humbling. This is a fantastic church with a great spirit. I am thankful to have made a friendship with them. It was also a privilege to hear Dr. Charles Hiltibidal speak that night, he is full of knowledge.

Then on Monday we drove to Houston for a missions conference at Segunda Iglesia Bautista Libertad with Pastor Santiago Medran. The conference was excellent each night with guest speakers Pastor Roy Carrizales and Evangelist Mark Thrift. They both did an excellent job and the church took us on for support. We really enjoyed the music and getting to fellowship with the men of God there. During the picture time Pastor Medran decided to grab a chair to stand on so we would be closer to the same height for the picture. Hahahaha! It was great! Continue to pray for us to get to Thailand so many Buddhist can be saved by the power of the Gospel!
