Dear “Amigos en Cristo,”

There is an old saying: The faster I go the behinder I get. That seems to be our life lately.

I had a great week with the students at the Institute and about 3 weeks later we had the graduation. This year we only had one student graduate, but he has the highest grade average of any student in the history of the school. Adrain Ruvalcaba is from the Oasis Baptist Church here is Juarez, Bro. Ramon Murillo is the pastor and also a graduate of I.B.N.O. It is a great joy for us to see the graduates of our school that are doing a great job for the Lord. Bro. Paul Alexander, former missionary preached for us. It was our 25th anniversary of the school and he was one of the founders, along with me and Bro. Bob Frazier.

Bible Baptist Mission is continuing on. We have a little over 40 that attend off and on, but we can only get about 30 together at a time. We lost one couple that have moved to Albuquerque, NM to be near their married children. We have had 6 new first time visitors, so pray that these prospects will be fruitful. Pastor Velazquez and the staff at our Juarense Baptist Temple are busy preparing for Summer activities. The first DVBS was at the church this week. Pray for our Youth Camp coming up this month. We will be mapping out the coming school year for the Institute soon.

Yours for Mexico,
