THE HEAT IS ON BABY !!!!!

Twenty days in a row over 100 degrees and there's no end in sight to the heat. Isaiah 58 vs 11 says" God will satisfy our needs in a sun scorched land and will always guide us" and I have to say, I read Is. 58 almost every day and have seen this scripture fullfilled in Paulas and My life here. Our needs have been met, thanks to all who support us and yesterday God guided us to visit Reynas' house that we built last week and her son had come from Mexico City to visit and he accepted Christ as his Savior as Paula and our friend Benita from San Antonio shared the love that God has for him and with tear filled eyes he bowed his head and prayed with us. So God used this little house that we built as a springboard for the Gospel to be proclaimed. So how much is a soul worth anyhow? Al, Lynnea,Roger,Mickey and Nicky drove all the way from Chgo to build a house that someone else paid for so that God could use that to further His Kingdom in the heart of Jorge'. So for approx. four thousand dollars a soul is eternally secure in Christ. We have still another house to build because of the generosity of Excel Electric in Frankfort Il. The foundation is ready and the family of four is excited about getting off the ground and into a home with a floor and walls and a real roof. To make room for the foundation , they dissasembled thier house made of pallets and built a makeshift house with the scrape wood using tarps as walls. A few days of rest and we'll build on Monday, Lord willing! The umbrellas collected at Moraine Valley Church in Palos Heights Il. our home church for 15 years have been a huge blessing to the women in the colonia. They also provided enough money to buy 5000lbs of rice and beans that we distribute twice a month to all who come. Paulas' mom continues to improve from her broken hip, but at 94 years young her healing is coming slowly. It was hard to be in chgo without her but, it was so good to see ya'll and to spend time with our oldest daughter Kristin. Many people blessed me with meals and free golf while I was there and still others laid up some treasure in heaven with financial gifts to build houses, buy food and much needed mosquito nets for our brothers and sisters in Christ here in Mexico. Thanks to all, we love you and thank God for you. ADIOS
