Lonnie and Margie Smith - October 08

October 2008

Dear Friends in Christ,

In September there was a very good increase in the enrollment of our Bible Colleges in Mexico. This was due to the many Youth Camps conducted across our country. Record attendance was recorded in every camp in every section of Mexico. Souls were saved and many young people dedicated their life to the Lord, many of these to serve Him full time.

We rejoice in the continuation on the construction on the building of Matamoros Baptist Mission in Matamoros Mexico. As you have read the Bedford Baptist Temple of Bedford, Texas and their men have taken a real interest in helping this mission expand their facilities. Last month we were able to finish an addition to the first building almost doubling our space. Again the Baptist Temple began a fundraising for added space. Work has begun on the second floor of this mission. It will again double our Sunday school space and also have room for a parsonage for the pastor and family. Thank you so very much for this help. Praise God!

During this month we will be busy getting material ready for our annual BBF of Mexico Fellowship meeting, which will meet the second week of November in Cuerna Vaca at the Rawling’s camp. With their financial help busses will be chartered from every point of Mexico for the pastors and delegates that wish to attend this meeting. We believe it will be one of the best-attended meetings to date. Bro. Angel Zapata, head of the mission committee of BBFM will be taking a large amount of SS and other material to this meeting. We are just finishing another 1000 songbooks and 15,000 offering envelops.

Beloved, once again we wish to thank you for your faithfulness in prayer and support that enables us to continue to labor for our Lord here in Mexico. Thank God for the great results in souls this summer.

Yours for Souls in Mexico,


Lonnie & Margie Smith
