ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE LORD'S WORK

Two days after finishing Jacquelines house, we started building another for a man named Roman. His lot made us build a house, 8 feet shorter. With no team here, Shawn Estes came over with me each day to help, Andres and Victor along with Roman build it. We dedicated it yesterday afternoon, after we spent the day clearing out a few trees on our lot to build a pallapa.
Today I took 5000lbs of beans and rice to Way of the Cross Ministries in Harlingen to be taken to Oaxaca, Mexico. They in turn gave us several mattresses, cases of toilet paper, and paper towels, gospel tracks and a few other goodies.
I don't like talking about the violence in Reynosa, but it has been worse than ever, as the government tries to get things under control again. We continue going over most days, and have heard some automatic weapons fire on occasion. Some groups that had scheduled to come, have cancelled their trips with other ministries we know. We don't have any groups scheduled to come until mid December. We will explore options and opportunities on the U.S. side to build, or repair houses. Thanks for the prayers and support, we can't do it without you! We started supplying these women with food, hygiene needs, bibles and other things for the women in prison in Reynosa.
