On our way to Negritas

Jerilyn and I are on our way, driving to Negritas, Mexico, to visit the church we planted a year and a half ago with people we led to Jesus in Oregon. Lupe is the pastor and Leti his wife.

Their ministry seems to be continually in flux as the situation there is always changing. There are currently a couple of Bible studies going as well as a regular weekly prayer meeting and an all day of prayer the first Saturday of every month. Pray that we can be an encouragement to everyone in the church and especially to Lupe and Leti.

Lupe’s mother is in serous condition as her liver is failing. This is of great concern to the family as she is still rejecting faith in Jesus. This visit will probably be the last time we will be able to see her alive. Pray for wisdom as we visit with her. Pray for her salvation.

We are also going to visit Juan and Vicki Herrera. They received Jesus and were baptized several years ago in Oregon. Now they are living for Jesus in their town as the only believers. Circumstances are sometimes very discouraging and we are going to encourage them.

Pray for safety as we will be passing through a couple of areas where there has been violence recently. Pray that we will be able to encourage believers and be used by God to share Jesus with those who do not yet know him.
