April-June 2005 Newsletter
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Greetings
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I would like to thank each and
every one of you for your prayers and support for my ministry on both
sides of the border.
LOS ALGODONES, B.C.- MÉXICO (Services at 3:00pm on Sundays)
The
Lord has blessed the mission with new visitors. Some of our members who
had stopped coming to the mission, are now back with us. The
evangelistic outreach was blessed by the Lord; the visitation, door
knocking and open air preaching. Through the outreach, many people have
heard the gospel and have received evangelistic literature. The
attendance averaged 20 people during these three months. The hot
weather is here and the temperature has been up to 105 degrees during
the day, The Lord provided a swamp cooler, which is similar to an
air-conditioner, for us to use at the place we meet and it has been a
big blessing, especially to the elderly women. I had the privilege to
work with the brethren of Faith Baptist Church on May 28th. Pastor
Andrews brought a group of brethren from his church to help us on our
evangelistic outreach. We had a wonderful time. They handed out gospel
tracts while I preached with the megaphone. After that we went
door-to-door and we handed out about 1200 tracts. Four souls made a
profession of faith that day. Please have this new converts in your
prayers.
YUMA, AZ (Services on Sundays at 10 am Sunday school, preaching 11am and 7pm and Thursday 7pm)
Praise
God we had been able to reach many souls. Bro. Richard Zakrajsek
arrived here in April and we were able so go door knocking 3- to
4-times a week. Through this, 19 souls received the Lord Jesus Christ
as their Lord and Saviour. I’m working on the discipleship of those
newly saved and to get them in church and baptized. One lady came to
church (sister Francis) as a result of the door-to-door evangelism. She
has been coming to church, praise the Lord! She has been the first
person to come to church because of our door-to-door evangelism, since
I’ve been here in Yuma.
SAN LUIS, R.C SONORA. – MÉXICO (Open air preaching and literature distribution mainly on Saturdays)
I
was able to go to San Luis, Mexico, every Saturday to preach on the
streets and parks. Typically, I hand out John and Romans booklets
averaging a box of (300) every time I preach. I had the privilege to
lead a soul to Christ after preaching in the park. A teenager first
came up to Bro. Zakrajsek. Bro. Zakrajsek tried to talk with him but,
because of his limited spanish, he asked me to help. The teen asked me
“how can I know when I’m saved”? I explained to him what the Bible says
and right then, he gave his life to the Lord. After praying he said: “I
feel different.” I gave him a Bible and he was very happy when we left.
It doesn’t end there though. The next Saturday, as soon as we started
distributing the John and Roman booklets, he came and helped us hand
them out. It’s always a blessing to see souls saved but, even more to
see them doing something for the Lord. The name of this teenager is
Jacinto Reyes. Please pray for him, pray that the Lord will use him in
a mighty way and also for the San Luis Project.
ANNOUNCEMENTS / PRAISES
I
praise the Lord for the souls saved. During these three months 49
people trusted the Lord through the electronic gospel tracts on the
website interbiblia.com. I’ve been sending discipleship materials via
the internet and have been able to refer some of them to sound
Independent Baptist Spanish churches that I know of in Mexico and USA.
I ask your prayers for the adjustment of status on my staying in USA.
May God bless each one of you.
Thanks again for our prayers and support.
Your servant in Christ,
Missionary Ulises Velazquez
