Dear Fellow-laborers in Christ,

Church attendance has been down the last few weeks. It can be very disappointing to see Satan making inroads in the lives of some of those you have worked with spiritually, and have them fall into their old way of life. Some hear the Gospel on a regular basis, yet they are still just "hearing" the Word, but we are praying that it will find abiding in their hearts, resulting in lasting change.

At the same time, we rejoice to have those who continue to grow in the Lord, becoming more conformed to His image.

Dear Supporting Church Families & Friends, 

“So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” We thank the Lord for the increase He has given over the past couple of months. There is so much to tell about.

In April, Louann & I took 3 of the teenagers to a youth conference at Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, CA. There were around 2,000 teens there, and a lot of great preaching and singing! The Lord really worked on hearts in this meeting. One of the greatest blessings was seeing Latanya (our oldest daughter) walk the aisle and give her heart and life completely to Him and His desires for her life! Please pray for her, as the devil would love to steal that decision away and have her forget it and ruin it. Although she is not perfect (none of us are), we have seen tremendous improvements in her life. We praise God for His working there! He is so faithful to answer our prayers if we’ll just be faithful to Him!

Dear Friends in Christ,

Spring is blowing into Arizona! The winds at this time of the year get pretty vicious and we're ready for the wind to calm down. Thankfully, our new shingles are holding strong. We're so glad that job is done and appreciate those of you who helped with the cost. We don't normally have any rain until well into July and then the shingles will get their second big test.

Dear Pastor, Church & Supporters

God has been great at helping us this past winter. We have been very busy reporting to some of our
churches, preaching in some new churches, and Bible Colleges all over the country, attending conferences,
trying to recruit younger couples who have a desire to serve the Lord within the Native American Indian
Ministries, a great and needed ministry here in the United States.

Tina & I have been soul winning, preaching and teaching in many churches from the North to the South,
seeing individuals saved and lives changed. Some of those saved have shown an interest in the ministry to
the Native American.

Dear Ones in Christ,

The highlight of the month of February was our week of revival services with Evangelist Glen Jaspers and his wife Mary. The messages were very timely and a great help. Though we didn't see a lot of decisions made during the week, Gary had the joy of leading Justin Smith to Christ. Justin recently moved back to our reservation from Salt Lake City. A concern we have is that his girlfriend is Mormon. Please pray for his spiritual growth and for her salvation.

Dear Praying Friends and Family,

January and February Bible Conferences at Grace Baptist and Lighthouse Baptist churches of Corona and San Diego California set the stage for equally invigorating anniversary/revival meetings with Yuma’s Heritage Baptist and Maranatha Baptist churches in March.

Dear Friends in Christ,

Our roof was in need of new shingles and our plan was to replace them this summer while we had some helpers visiting. By then, we had hoped to have the cost of the shingles set aside and be ready for this project.
