Prayer Letter
April - May 2008

Dear Friends:

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus. We have plenty to rejoice about and we want to share it all with you.

Finances: Rejoice with us! In just 5 years, Living Word Baptist has now completely paid off the loan of $185,000 (dollars). Also during that time $100,000 (dollars) of remodeling work was done which we paid for as we went along. The church has now begun a land fund with the hope of buying the property next door. It will cost approximately $200,000 (dollars).

Furlough Plans: Once again, we remind you we are making ourselves available to you as of January 2009. Some of you have already contacted us and set up dates. You may contact us by telephone (011-52-333-151-1806) or by e-mail at lonn3@prodigy.com.mx or mefs5968@yahoo.com.mx.

Professions of Faith and Baptisms: In the past two months we have seen 17 people make decisions to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior. I had the privilege of baptizing 5 of them. One of these dear folks is our mailman!

Granddaughter: On Wednesday, April 16th, our third grandchild was born in Lubbock, Texas. Her name is Hannah Sophia Salazar. She weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Because of her mother¹s (our daughter, Stephanie¹s) medical history, Hannah had to be delivered by c-section under general anesthesia. Hannah is doing fine and Stephanie is slowly recovering. We appreciate all of you who prayed for Stephanie throughout this difficult pregnancy.

Once again, we want to express our appreciation of your financial support and prayer support as we labor together here in the Guadalajara metropolitan area.
 

'Til Jesus Comes,

Lonnie C. Smith, Jr.
