When the phone rang, I almost didn’t answer. The caller ID indicated an “unknown caller” which often indicates either a wrong number, or a telemarketer. I was quite surprised to hear Jeri’s brother calling on his cell phone. His number is definitely on our list but he was calling from MEXICO! Martin had taken a work group from his church in California, down to Baja California to help at an orphanage for a few days. When I got over that surprise, he had another. He passed the phone to one of our students from Chihuahua!! Rafa speaks good English, and he and Martin had been chatting when they discovered the connection. Rafa has a ministry with the orphanage too. Small world!
But the surprises weren’t over… half an hour later he called back with ANOTHER student, Ramon and his wife Vanesa, from Chihuahua was on the line. It was great to hear that both Jeri’s brother, and our students are looking for ways to serve the Lord by serving others. Please pray for Rafa and Ramon. Both are looking to the Lord for direction and support to carry on in the ministry.
Please continue to pray for the construction project at the Bible Institute in Mexico. We desperately need the dorm building this fall. It is not looking good right now. Pray that God would raise up workers and funds to continue with that project.
Thanks, Virgil and Jeri Holt
