December 2009 Prayer Letter 

Dear Friends in Christ,

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

How wonderful is the reason for this season. Celebrating Christmas in the Mexican churches is a very great time to worship and to serve the Lord. The children of the churches present a special program concerning the birth of our Lord. New parents come to see their children perform and many thereby have found Christ as their personal Savior.

Last month the BBF of Mexico celebrated their annual fellowship meeting in Celaya, GTO. There were over 600 out of town messengers from the churches present for this occasion. The night services were even larger and there were over 750 present each night. The host church attended the visitors with splendor. The preaching was great and for the first time the services were broadcast on the Internet to those who could not attend. The next two meetings, in April and next November will be conducted at the Rawlings Camp near Cuernavaca. All are invited to attend.

The “Filidelfia” Bible Baptist church of Reynosa, Dr. Angel Zapata pastor, was church host for a regional Youth meeting of the Border BBF churches of Mexico. The attendance was great for this all day Saturday meeting. Many of the young people dedicated their life anew to the Lord. All enjoyed a great time of fun and fellowship. Ten churches participated.

Beloved, we are so thankful for your faithfulness in prayer and support for our ministry. Our prayers are with you during these difficult economy times.

Yours for souls in Mexico,

Lonnie & Margie Smith

Our family had a blessed Thanksgiving day together in the Lord.
