The Smith's in Mexico

Dear Pastor and Friends:

We spent an action packed summer in Guadalajara. I'll share some of the highlights with you:

1. Living Word Baptist sent $3,500 to our home missionary in Ozxaca to help them purchase land.

2. Two of our young preacher boys made an evangelistic trip to the city of Aguascalientes. While there, they led 9 people to the Lord and also make an appearance on a local TV show.

3. Living Word Baptist experienced a "back door" revival. One of the main families in the church got miffed and left, but only 2 other people followed them. Once they were gone, blessings began to flow and 6 new families were reached and added to the church!

4. Death takes no holidays and in the 3 months we were in Guadalajara, we buried 1 regular church member, 1 irregular church member, and one church family lost 7 other relatives. In almost 9 situations, we afforded the opportunity to share the Gospel with families and friends.

5. Our children and young people went to camp and participated in other activities which produced many decisions for salvation.

We are now back in Texas getting ready to hit the road again. We have a very busy schedule through the month of November.

Once again, we want to express our gratitude to you for your continued support and prayers.

'Til Jesus Comes,
Lonnie C. Smith, Jr.
