Missionaries to Mexico
Hebrews 6:10


March 2009

Dear Friends in Christ,

No doubt you have heard about the drug wars that are going on in Mexico. They have been very much in the news especially along the Texas – Mexico border. You can rest at ease to know that your missionaries are safe and sound. To be sure with the international bridges closed for several hours on several occasions is has been a problem, but we have been able to continue our work in the churches in Reynosa and Matamoros.

From day one our mission work has been centered on building self-supporting churches. In order to do this each church must have it’s own Mexican pastor. Each of the 127 churches and missions that God has allowed us to have a part in building has been built on this concept and it has proved to be the best way to do the work.

March is here again. For over 50 years we have used this month as a marker to order the material for our DVBS in the many churches and missions under our supervision. Last year we were able, with your help to furnish material to reach over 10,000 boys and girls with the gospel. God blessed with over 3,000 professions of faith in our Lord.

This year we are once again asking your help in furnishing this material for the pastors and workers in this great ministry. We not only need funds for the material, but also for the shipping. Last year for the first time the cost of shipping was over $800.00. We are looking as a cost this year of $4,000.00 dollars for material and shipping. We do so wish to reach more boys and girls this year. May God lead you in designating funds for this project? The cost per school, including the shipping will be about $65.00. Thank you for your help and we do need your prayers.


Beloved we are so thankful for your faithfulness in prayer and financial help during this time of world economy. We believe that God will supply all our need in Christ Jesus.

Yours for Souls in Mexico,

Lonnie & Margie Smith
