SUMMER 2007

Gary AT AGTS

TRAINING TO TRAIN AT A.G.T.S.!

Our year of itineration in Illinois is now over and we have moved to the Springfield , Missouri area so that Gary can study for one year at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. We will return to Oaxaca City , Mexico next summer after graduation.

We are here under full missionary appointment at the request of the Assemblies of God World Missions department because Gary needs specialized training to take the ministry of preparing Mexican missionaries to the next level. Since he completed many courses on the field over the past 24 years, he can now finish his master’s degree by studying full-time for 2 semesters. Thank you for this tremendous privilege! Your continued prayer and financial support is vital as we undertake the extra financial burden of tuition payments.

We thank the Lord for the $1,280 of new monthly support that was raised over the past year. Gary ministered in more than 100 churches scattered across Illinois , Missouri , Wisconsin , Michigan , Iowa and Florida . We are trusting the Lord to provide the remaining $160 of monthly support that is still needed in the next few weeks. If you would like to make a new pledge, or increase a current pledge, please contact us.

Our family attended the annual Mexico Area Retreat in Puerto Vallarta in July. Rebekah and Rachel are enrolled for classes that begin on August 16th at Willard High School . Gary begins classes on August 27th. Please pray for our family to adjust to this season of sharpening our ministry skills as we study.

Bettina At Missionette Camp

ILLINOIS MISSIONETTE CAMP

Bettina spoke at the Illinois District Missionette Camp at Cedar Creek Retreat Center in July. About 60 girls attended this 3 day event that was organized by Cheri Hayes. It was exciting to see the girls not only enjoy lots of fun and games but also to learn about salvation at the beach, the baptism in the Holy Spirit around the campfire and the ministry in Oaxaca City, Mexico at the closing service.

Bettina also received her credentials in May as a certified minister with the Illinois District of the Assemblies of God. Her goal this term is to complete the next level of Berean Bible Courses in order to receive her ministerial license. Please pray that the Bettina would reach her goal as she also continues her studies.

Efrain and Catherine Figueroa

EFRAIN AND CATHERINE FIGUEROA

We enjoyed visiting with Efrain and Catherine Figueroa, new missionaries to Oaxaca City, Mexico, at the Mexico Area Fellowship. Please pray for them as they adjust to ministry along with their 3 children.

Also continue to pray for the political peace of Oaxaca. There was another violent confrontation between political activists and the state police in July. For the first time there was also a bombing (though small with no injuries).

Our son, Lyndon, is now back in Wichita, Kansas. Please pray for his personal life.
