Some may have been wondering when we have been since I haven´t had time to send out a lot of mail. We were in the states for one month most of the time in Texas preaching a Spanish revival. By the way it was awesome.
Now we are back at our post of duty working full speed ahead. We had 185 visitors in our Saturday night special youth service here at our headquarters church! We baptized 5 precious souls in the lovely name of Jesus and many people were blessed.
We have faced huge trials however I know that when no strength lies within us to complete the course, we must draw upon an inner Strength to sustain us. When we would have the tendency to look behind, and be content with how far we have come (or discouraged with the length of the way), but when we see services like we have been in over the weekend we know God is smiling at us just as He smiled at Job if long ago.
Fire purifies what is genuine and destroys what is not. (
Psalms 12:6;
Malachi 3:2, 3) So "if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." (
1 Corinthians 3:12, 13)
May we all build for eternity and not for the fleeting moments of earthly life.
Thank you for being our friend!
