Dear Friends in Christ,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We thank the Lord for you and deeply appreciate your faithful prayers and financial support for us and the work in Mexico.
Susie and I are doing well, and except for the aches and pains which have become normal for us, we are in pretty good health. There are some kidney issues that I am dealing with, but that is stabilized for now. PTL! It was a blessing to have been able to spend a few days with family over the holidays and to see the grandkids—wow how they have grown!
We praise the Lord for the work He is doing in the lives of the people in the churches. They are growing in the faith, witnessing, and serving God. The result is that the families are stronger, and the churches are growing. As many in Mexico were celebrating the Day of the Dead, our people were knocking on doors, passing out tracts, and inviting people to church. At least 17 souls trusted Christ as their Savior!
Christmas was a special time for the children in the churches this year especially following the lock downs and restrictions of the previous two years. Several churches had parties, gifts, and presents for the kids along with the Christmas story of the birth of Christ. About 11 children and adults were saved through those efforts!
Thank you so much for your prayers and giving. May God bless you all.
In Christ, Rick and Susie
