Contemplating Our Blitzing Plan:

A group from our church will be with us from November 2 - 9. We are really looking forward to having them with us. Pastor Ismael Zamarron and some of his folks will also be coming up from Navajoa to help as well as Pastor John Perez and a group of his Bible School students from Hermosillo. We are looking forward to a great week of soul winning together.
When we began the Mohave Baptist Church there in Bullhead City, Arizona this type of evangelistic meetings proved to be foundational in getting a start. We are praying that this week of soul winning will see many souls saved and give us several believers with which to continue with. We will appreciate your prayers for us during this week.
There is always room for a few more and if you would like to make a trip on down our way just give us a shout so that we can get you here and be prepared for you when you come.

Continuing Our Building Preparations:


We have been continuing our building renovations and now have the outside completely painted. We are still lacking our church name, times of services and contact information on the outside but hopefully that will follow soon.
In November we will have the help of a group from our church to paint on the inside. Currently the building is basically completely open on the inside but in due time we hope to be able to put up some walls to divide off a dedicated sanctuary, several class rooms and a fellowship area. That will all have to come in due time.
As you can see from the pictures the family has again played a big roll in the ministry. Thank God for a family that serves Him together.

Concluding Our Brief Participation

For the months of August and September we helped fill in for an elderly missionary here in our state of Sonora, Mexico. He had needed to take a short furlough by request of several of his supporting churches and had asked us to fill in for him in his absence. It was a blessing for us to have the participation of established believer's to help us hone our Spanish and use Biblical terms that are not normally used from day to day.
While we took care of his works we had a special day for a baby dedication which must always include a special meal.
The missionary is now back and has thanked us for our help to him. He has also relayed several good comments that were passed along by the people of those works including several on the good example grasped from Ezra, Abigail and Anna


Good Food and Good Fellowship

35 in Attendance

I would surely like to claim that for our own work here in Magdalena but these are pictures of another missionary's work in Santa Rita and in El Claro. This elderly missionary needed to be gone for a few weeks and we are watching his work for him. It is good practice for Spanish preaching and makes us look forward to the day when we have a good start like this.





Work Day

Work Days are always things that are needed in a church work but what if there is no "church" yet. Well thank God for a family willing to serve the Lord! We recently spent a day freshening up the outside of our building. Peggy and the girls cleaned inside while Ezra pressure washed the outside to get it ready to paint and I dug out the overgrowth of weeds. It was a hot day but the family stayed with it and got the job done - well done family, THANK YOU!
