It is with great joy that I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ, the only "name under heaven giving among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12b)

I have just returned from the commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Lord blessed us by allowing us to meet many pastors at the Puerto Rico Convention and to preach in some of their churches. It was my desire to go to the hurting churches, therefore, I preached first at the Isla Verde Baptist Church. There were sixteen persons in the service. Since this church does not have a pastor, I preached to those dear saints a sermon entitled "Marks of a Man of God." My desire was to help them find God's Man for his body of believers. Please pray that God will send His man to this church.

One of the most precious services that I have ever been in was at the Ponce Baptist Church. The godly pastor is Pedro Fornes. He is full of Jesus. My heart was so moved by this congregation. The approximately twenty saints received the Word with gladness. I trust that it will be in God's providence to return to this church.

Time and space will not allow me to share everything about this trip. However, I must tell you about the nineteen year old girl who was saved at the Iglesia Bautista (Baptist) Belen. With tear filled eyes, under the weight of her sin, and a desire to be saved, she came forward to be born again. Praise God!

I give thanks to God for one of our board members who sponsored this entire trip.

Since our last newsletter, the Father has kept us busy, for which we give Him great thanks. We have preached revival in eight churches, nine Sundays, and gone on two mission trips. We give praise to our Lord for giving us the physical strength and spiritual help to keep all of our appointments. Furthermore, we give praise for the souls saved and the help that God's people have experienced.

These ministries are made possible by our faithful supporters. We cannot do it without you. We give praise to the One who supplies all our needs for adding another faithful supporter since our last newsletter. With this added support, we are now at twenty five percent of our needed support.

I would like to express my appreciation to my good friend evangelist Tom Hayes whom the Lord has used to help open several doors for the month of December. Please view our calendar for these dates.

Please pray for use that doors for next year will be opened, that financial needs will be met for our four mission trips for next year, and that God will give us power to preach His word.

May the Savior of our souls find us faithful at His Coming.
