Dear Friends in Christ,

Praise God we have received additional funds for the building in Matamoros Mexico. Bedford Baptist Temple received some added funds and sent them toward the construction. Liberty Baptist in St. Petersburg also sent a gift toward the finishing of this building. The windows and doors have been ordered and should be ready to install in two weeks. We will continue to work on this project until funds are exhausted. There is still some work to be done before the pastor and family can occupy the facilities.

This month is the time to prepare much needed material for the BBFM pastor’s retreat that will be celebrated the first part of April. This year for the first time it will be celebrated in the beautiful city of Villa Hermosa, Tabasco in southern Mexico. We ask you to pray for the needed funds for the pastors to attend this special meeting. In each area groups of pastors are preparing to rent busses for the journey.

Please begin to pray with us for the financial needs for DVBS materials also. Last year you furnished material for 90 separate VBS with over 3,000 boys and girls making a profession of faith in our Lord. As the Lord provides we will once again prepare for as many as provisions allow. Thank you for your love and concern in this ministry.

The work of Anchor Theological Seminary is still active enrolling new students and giving degrees to those who have finished the required courses. This month two students received their degree, one a BA and the other a MTH in Theology. Recently a South Korean student working in China enrolled for a PhD degree in Theology.

Beloved once again we want to thank you for your faithfulness in prayer and financial support toward our ministry. God continues to bless with souls and we are able to counsel many pastors along the way. Our prayer is that God would bless each and every one of you during these trying times.

Yours for Souls in Mexico,

Lonnie & Margie Smith
