Benji Dryden shares this from
Haiti—“The devil's mad and I am glad,
glory hallelujah. He lost three souls
he thought he had, glory hallelujah.
Shout; shout ,we're gaining ground,
glory hallelujah.” We had a wonderful
family conference that began on
Mother's Day. A sister of one of our
members was saved after the last
service. F
Erik and Holly Johnson report
from Dominican Republic that “In May
we took a day trip with the men and boys
of our church. The goal was to positively
encourage the young men to live for God
and the older men to help by being godly
examples. The group was able to visit a
local waterfall, play in the river, do some
horseback riding and enjoy some great
‘camp style' food. Allen Gruber and Erik gave challenges from
the Word of God. We believe this trip has made a difference in
many of their lives.”
F Jim and Kelly Shelton share—“In
Puerto Rico we have seen our folks pass
out more tracts and invitations to church
in the past couple of months. We have
about seven new families coming now since
May. There are several attending faithfully
but need to know the Lord as
their Saviour.”
F Josh and Joy Wesson in the Dominican
Republic recently reported that Stephen, their
son, was given an encouraging report concerning
his leukemia. Doctors said that he is now
“leukemia free” and they removed his chemo pic.
What a wonderful answer to prayer.
F Joan Whiteheart has had hip replacement surgery.
Now she has gone through the first cycle of chemo for her
cancer. So far she is doing very well. She also reports
that Iglesia Bautista Nueva Vida in Mayaguez, Puerto
Rico, had a VBS and 15 children made professions of
faith. 10
