A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPER NEW YEAR

Dear Friends in Christ,

Psa. 126: “The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad”.

Another year has quickly passed for the Lonnie C. Smith family, but it has been a GREAT year in the Lord. Our family has been blessed with health and happiness.

God continues to pour out His blessings upon the ministry He has given us. Both of our sons: Lonnie Jr. and Ronnie with their families are still being used of the Lord to reach souls. It was so very refreshing to have the family together this Christmas.

God has allowed us as a family to have part in building 147 church and mission buildings. Each building houses a work for our Lord, each has a Mexican pastor who is supported by their church. Each church is a headquarters for missions. We have seen thousands of souls saved and after teaching in three different Bible Colleges and a youth camp for many years we have seen hundreds of young people surrender to full time service for our Lord.

Please be in prayer for the coming year of 2009. There are many needs in the work. We have asked for help in the work in Tlaxcala (listed as Oaxaca) where one of our “Timothy” is serving. The work needs property and a building. Also, we need to finish the construction in Matamoros. Due to the rise in cost of materials, the windows, doors and plastering has yet to be done. Pray for souls this year. Pray for DVBS needs again. Over 3,000 were saved in 2008 through this ministry.

Beloved, once again we thank you for your faithfulness in prayer and financial support for our ministry. We are praying for each of you during this difficult time.

Yours for Souls in Mexico,

Lonnie & Margie Smith
