She told me her story and I was amazed at what she went through in
Vietnam for her faith.She said they would allow them to have Baptist type meetings but no meetings where anyone spoke in other tongues.She was caught having such a gathering in her home.The government put her picture on the tv and broadcast it to keep everyone from her.She said it only opened more doors to witness about her faith.People would ask her about why she was on tv and voila she told them about the goodness of Jesus.I am going to spend more time with this lady.She just did not want me to leave.I want to ask some of you that you would pray for the Lord to open a door for me into this part of the community.

Sis. Trouvere,
No doubt you were there "for such a time as this". Could it be
that some or many of those that have come to America have been
sent by God that they might be able to learn more, and perhaps
even help those on this end. We had a missionary from Mexico last
night that was such a blessing. We have a small, but fast growing
Spanish ministry in our church, with a Spanish pastor that came to
us about five years ago. He and his wife were trinitarian and they
wrestled for a while with the oneness and baptism in Jesus Name,
but God did a work in them. They have worked very closely with
the pastor and have been so faithful. God has proved Himself over
and over to them. They had been married twelve years and had no
children. He said the enemy really provoked him that he wasn't a
real man because he couldn't even have a child. His (catholic)sister,
who really, with others of his family, criticized him for having being
baptized in Jesus Name and becoming oneness, told him she prayed
and told God, " If_____ and _____'s God is the true God, let _____
get pregnant THIS year. Before the year was out ____ was pregnant
and they had a very healthy little boy, born in 2005. She told her
brother with tears in her eyes. Your God is the true God. She has never
come to church as yet, but ______ and _____ just had another beauti-
ful little son two weeks ago.
This Spanish pastor, and others attends all of our services but has a
Spanish service one night a week just for Spanish speaking people. Many
have obeyed the gospel under his ministry and continues to grow. God is
not willing that any should perish. We must do our part in telling them or
sending someone who can tell them the truth.
The missionary from Mexico told us last night that in the last 17 months
he has been deputizing in North America, he has seen over 700 people
receive the Holy Ghost. I told my husband that maybe he is a missionary
FROM Mexico, sent by God to be a missionary TO North America. God
knows!
Blessings,
