Missionaries to Mexico

May 2009

Dear Friends in Christ:
This month over 350 pastors, their wives and family celebrated the annual Pastor’s Retreat of the BBF of Mexico in the beautiful city of Villa Hermosa in southern Mexico. The services were great as was the preaching. It was a time of relaxation and Godly fellowship. The pastors approved Bro. Ignacio Guillen as a representative Evangelist for the BBFM. This is still another project of the mission endeavor of the BBFM.

Also this month our good friend Al Williams from OK brought us three more spinet pianos for the churches of Mexico. They have already been distributed to the works that needed them. One went to a church in Monterrey, another to a church in Victoria, Tam. And still another was placed in Reynosa. This brings a total of over 40 pianos that Bro. Al has been able to donate to the work in Mexico. Thanks Bro. Al.

We are proud to inform you that all10,000 student booklets and other materials for this year’s 70 DVBS have been distributed to the churches and missions that will be conducting these schools. The pastors and full time workers will have time to study the material and prepare the teachers needed to have successful DVBS again this year. Many souls have been saved through this program. We are thankful for the many friends and churches that have donated to this project over the years. God is keeping the record of those saved and the rewards will be accredited to your account. We still could use some help on the finances, just $60.00 will sponsor one DVBS.

Beloved once again we thank you for your faithfulness in prayer and support for our ministry. God continues to bless with souls and believers following our Lord in baptism. We praise God for continued health and strength to continue doing our work as missionaries. We realize that the economy is not good, but our faith is in the Lord who has and will supply all our need.

Yours for souls in Mexico

Lonnie & Margie Smith
