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 church has grown and people are more faithful. During the first
week of July, I was not able to cross the border because my visa
expired. Bro. Pablo Sanchez preached in my place. Ten days after my
visa expired, I received a permit to travel so I was able to travel
back and forth to Mexico. There is a sweet spirit among the people
there. I feel blessed to be able to teach and preach to them what God
has given me. I’ve seen spiritual growth in many of them. Help me to
pray for wisdom regarding a future building for the church.
I know it’s too soon to think about a building program but, there is a
possibility to purchase and to start paying for a piece of land on
which to build at some stage in the future. Please pray with me for
direction. In my experience, I’ve noticed that churches grow more when
they meet in a neutral place.
YUMA, AZ (Services on Sundays at 10 am Sunday school, preaching 11am and 7pm and Wednesday 7pm)
By God's grace, during this past three months the Spanish ministry has
grown. We have seen souls saved and they have joined the church as
well. Sister Sulma Salinas and her five children are coming to church.
She and three of her children were saved and baptized, and are
attending faithfully. Sister Maria Uribe joined the church in July and
she is bringing three of her grandchildren to church. Eight souls were
saved during our door-to-door evangelism, as well. I’ve been preaching
in the park on Tuesdays and have been able to hand out many gospel
tracts in Spanish as well as English. Additionally, I’ve submitted an
application to preach in the county jail. Please pray that I the
application is approved as soon as possible. I know there is a big need
and I’m looking forward to being able to preach there.
SAN LUIS, R.C SONORA. – MÉXICO (Open air preaching and literature distribution mainly on Saturdays)
Pastor Pablo Sanchez from Mexicali, B.C. and some of the teenagers of
his church have been coming to help me pass out John and Romans along
with gospel tracts, while I preach in the park on Saturdays. It’s
encouraging to see young people serving the Lord. The people in the
park are very receptive. Until now the Lord has not opened the door to
start a work in this place. We don’t have the means to do it, but God
is faithful and we are trusting Him. There are some relatives of the
people that come to the Spanish church in Yuma that live in San Luis,
it might be that through them we can start a church in the future. We
are in need of John and Romans booklets. If you know where I can get
some, please contact me. Also we need some Spanish Reina-Valera Bibles.
If you have some, we need them for new converts and also for the jail
ministry.
PRAISES
I had the privilege of attending the Street Preachers Convention in New
York. Old Paths Bible Baptist Church in Rochester, NY had their annual
Street Preachers Convention and it was a blessing. We preached in
Rochester, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. I was able to lead a soul to
Christ in Buffalo. It was a tremendous experience to preach from a hot
air balloon in Niagara Falls, it was a great experience. God bless the
members of this church and Pastor Joe Cammilleri, it was a tremendous
convention. During this three months 38 souls got saved reading the
electronic tracts in my website www.interbiblia.com. It has been a
great evangelistic tool. Dear brethren thank you very much once more
for your prayers and
support. May God bless you.
Your servant in Christ,
Ulises Velazquez
