January - March 2009
Dear Pastors and Friends:
Home Again
You all know the saying: "there's no place like home." Well, we are glad to be back in our birth home, the USA. For your information, we can be reached at the following:
1. Home Phone (956) 686-5056
2. Home Address: 6712 N. 15th Lane, McAllen, TX 78504
3. Email Addresses (see below)
Right now we are making adjustments to being stateside and we are preparing for the traveling that lies ahead. I have been advised by Bro. Jon Konnerup, Dr. Bob Baird, and Bro. Mike Haley to take a few months to rest and adjust and get medical treatment. We have already scheduled those churches that have contacted us and will continue to do so little by little, so if you wish us to report to you, please let us hear from you.
Back Home in Guadalajara
We continue to praise the Lord for the missions conference we had at Living Word Baptist before we left. Dr. and Mrs. Bob Baird, Bro. Jonathan Robertson (Costa Rica) and two Mexican missionaries were with us. The people responded with great enthusiasm and voted to take on all of the missionaries, so they are now supporting four missionary families at one hundred dollars a month! The faith promise for 2009 is fifteen thousand five hundred dollars! Several young people and young adults responded to the Lord's calling to full time service. All are now involved in preaching, teaching, or serving in some capacity in the church.
Gratefulness
The Psalmist wrote: "offer thanksgiving unto the Lord." Brethren, we thank God for your faithful support. The years have rolled by and month after month you have been right there with us. You have sent special offerings when needed and the latter part of every year, many of you send us Christmas specials. We are thankful and we are debtors to all and we plan to serve the Lord with you in this missionary endeavor...
'Til Jesus Comes,
Lonnie C. Smith, Jr.
