February Prayer Letter Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Hello praying friends, God bless you and thank you so much for your prayers and faithful support. We are so thankful to the Lord for His grace and goodness. This past week we had our first classes in our local Church Bible Institute. We had twenty students. That was far more than I had thought would participate. I’m going to be praying that all of them finish the classes. It’s easy to start something, however finishing something is a different story. We also had a man follow the Lord in believers baptism on Sunday. Please pray that all of these believers will faithfully grow and yield their lives to Christ. We want to ask you to please pray about something that is very dear to our hearts. We really want to print John and Romans booklets here in Mexico. We want to start a printing ministry under the authority of the local Church that has been started here. We need wisdom on how to see that accomplished. I believe that the Lord is leading us in this direction. We need a press that will produce John and Romans booklets. We need a place to print them. We need a person who can be primarily responsible to manage this ministry. Will you please pray that the Lord will give us wisdom and that in the Lord’s timing that He will put all the pieces of the puzzle together. It is our chief desire to see the Lord glorified in all that we do. Most of all please pray that we will successfully reach the lost with the gospel before it is eternally too late. Thank you so much for your prayers. We have a God that is in the business of doing miracles. All for the honor and glory of Christ Jesus, Sincerely, Chris King and Family Please Pray • For direction and the Lord’s blessing in regards to our Bible Institute. • For direction and the Lord’s blessing in regards to our Printing Ministry. Answers to Prayer • Safety and protection while we travel. • Spiritual growth of our Church Members.

Hello everyone! What a wonderful month we have had. Incredibly busy as always, however, we are consistently impressed with how gracious and kind our Lord is. Thank you to all of you that prayed for our first Church services in Valle de Santiago on April 10th. We had a wonderful start to holding regular Church services here. We have seen a steady stream of first-time visitors. It has been encouraging to see those first-time visitors quickly turn into regular attendees. We have seen people making good decisions to be faithful in their regular attendance. We also had a young lady ask about being baptized. I spoke with her and her husband for a little while after one of the services. We cannot assume that people have a biblical understanding of salvation or baptism. We are endeavoring to be very thorough when teaching people the Word of God. Please pray that the Lord will give us wisdom and guidance. After several hiccups, we have received our visas for another three years. Praise the Lord, that is behind us. We are officially cleared to be here and work for another three years. During the process, we were charged double the price for three of the visas. Will you please pray that we will receive a refund in the near future? Also, on two different occasions while I was trying to withdraw money from an ATM the machine “debited” our bank account and never gave me the money. Both occasions are under investigation. Would you please pray that the bank here would refund that money? We just celebrated being in Mexico for one year and according to my records, we have handed out a little over 43,000 packets of scripture since arriving here. We have had a family in the Church start going with us once a week to distribute scripture and we had two families ask if I could please bring them packets at our midweek service so they could give out scripture on their own time throughout the week. Praise the Lord for right now we have people who want to get the Word of God out. Thank you so much for your prayers. For all of those who support us financially and pray for us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts and God bless you!

April Prayer Letter Sending Church Bonners Ferry Baptist Church Pastor Nevin Neal bfbaptist.com Send Support To: Central Missionary Clearinghouse P.O. Box 219228 Houston, Texas 77218-9228 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Hello everyone! To all of you who pray for us and give financially, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. We could not do what we are doing without your support. God bless you all! These last several weeks have been challenging, however, I am so thankful to see the Lord guide and direct in every detail of life. Several weeks ago we traveled to the neighboring state of Hidalgo in order to provide special music for an Anniversary Conference at Ixmiquilpan Baptist Church. This Church was started and was Pastored by American missionaries. However, this Church has been pastored by a national for three years now. I was encouraged to see the product of what we hope to see accomplished in Valle de Santiago in the Lord’s timing. By the Lord’s grace, we will be hosting our very first Church services in Valle de Santiago this coming Sunday. Sunday school at 11 am central time and services at 12 pm and 6 pm. We will also have midweek service on Wednesdays at 6 pm. I am very thankful for how the Lord puts everything together. We will have my dear friend Adbeel Cabnal from Guatemala City preaching for us as well as Juan Luis Garcia teaching our Adult Sunday school class. I took my very first foreign missions trip to Guatemala in 2016 and literally some of the very first people that I met on that trip were these two men. We’re thrilled to have them with us. Please pray that all will go well and that the Lord will bless Our family is doing well, Praise the Lord. Please Continue to pray that we will absorb the language very quickly. Again, God bless you all and I hope that you will have much fruit in eternity as a result of your participation in this ministry. Sincerely, Chris King and Family Please Pray • For our first Church services on April 10th 11 am (CT) • Continued progress in speaking Spanish • Continued growth in my ability to preach and teach in Spanish. Answers to Prayer • The Lord is making provisions for our campaign in August
