“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
-Matthew 28:18-20 (NASB)

Prayer and Praise:
1. This has been a wonderful relaxing summer in the new cabin at the base of the Christian Health Service Corpsin Grand Saline, Texas! And the cabin is finally finished! Thanks to each of you who have helped out. But there have been some adventures ...
2. Mowgli, our very friendly black community cat, returned from his roaming, looking sick. When I tried to help him, he bit me and died shortly later. Thank God that my thumb seems to be healed. And we have been adopted by another community cat. What would you name him? Mufasa? Mostaza? Mozzarella?
3. This Friday I head to Seoul, South Korean for the Fourth International Congress on World Evangelization. This is the fourth in a series of world congresses, beginning in 1974 in Lausanne, Switzerland. About 5000 people from nations worldwide will attend the congress, along with another 5000 online. Please pray for:
That people of many nations, cultures, languages and races may unite together in strong fellowship
For new and renewed friendships
For many connections and a continuing effort to work together
For strong teaching and new ideas to put into practice
That the gospel will penetrate every people group and that we may be faithful as we "go and make disciples"
For safety in travel
4. After returning from Seoul, I look forward to heading back to Zihuatanejo! Please be praying for:
A joyful transition back to Mexico
For renewal of community ministries
For God's direction for our church
For wisdom for me--how shall I divide my time between Mexico and Texas
5. On October 1st, our online Bible study will begin again. We will meet on Tuesdays at 6:30 pm Central time. I hope you can come! Write to me if you are interested.
¡Muchas gracias!
Thank God for his faithfulness!

With love,
