Greetings!
Wow, what a wonderful time in Mexico. We saw the Lord move in so many different ways. We spent 3 days in La Constitucion, Tabasco ministering in nightly meetings and going house to house.
The only full day we were able to go minister on the streets and house to house, we saw around 15 come to the Lord and at least 4 more re-dedicate their lives to the Lord.
David Mapp preached a powerful message there in Constitucion and many were touched. We prayed with a lady that evening to accept the Lord. The believers were really encouraged that night.
There is no way we could have done all the things we did without the Lord giving us the strength to do it.
We came to San Geronimo on Thursday night for a meeting. They had removed the front of the church building because there were as many people outside the building as inside.
Near the end of the service just after we finished ministering, a drunken driver slammed into the front of the ministry truck in front of the church. The miracle was that the truck shielded the drunken drivers truck from coming into the church yard and seriously injuring or killing people.
A 10 year old boy was in the truck at the time and got a pretty good bump on his head as he was thrown into the dashboard, but was otherwise ok. The drunk drove off from the scene of the crash and tried to get away. I took our rental car and picked up the government delegate and police, got a warrant and we found the guy wrecked about a mile down the road.
How great is God’s mercy? His truck had hung in a barbed wire fence and that fence kept him from driving off into the biggest river in Central America and Mexico. We found him passed out in the driver’s seat. God has a lot of mercy…..Amen?

Robert’s truck will eventually be fixed, at a pretty good cost to us. The drunk will have to pay some, but a Mexican political party is covering for him and he is completely free. No justice whatsoever. The man was completely unrepentant when I talked to him the next day. I spent 13 hours on Friday…7.30 in the morning until 8.30 at night on paperwork and waiting on Mexican authorities to press charges, something we were required to do. We met with the police, both state and local, with the prosecutor, and the county attorney.
Saturday, we ministered in Emiliano Zapata. Emma and I interrupted the worship service and started speaking together about JOY! They finally started catching hold of it and there was an extended time of laughter and dancing in God’s house!! Emma went from person to person ministering and spreading joy. There was a huge change within 30 minutes, it was like heaven opened some more over our group.
Daved later came and preached an anointed message about “Dominion” and our authority as believers. Wow. The people responded and we prayed with almost everyone in that packed-out house church.
We were so blest this trip to have Bob Openshaw with us. He is a professional photographer and friend. He shot our wedding pictures last year. Bob took family pictures and printed and gave them to the people while we were there. He worked tirelessly on that project and blest so many people. He also photographed meetings and ministry times. What an amazing blessing!!!
We hope to have some great pictures to share with you soon.
Thank you so much for your prayers, there was a lot accomplished on this trip. There was a lot of long lasting fruit.
Blessings and Increase,
