Dear Praying Friends,
We are praising God for what he has done this past month. We still do not know what to expect in our services in
Pozo de Gamboa. We have had days with anywhere between two and 24 people in the services. Sometimes we have
had no regulars returning but the visitors came. We have had six weeks in a row with attendances between 11 and 19
with an average of 15 people from the ranch not including those that come from our church in Zacatecas. We have
also had new visitors almost every week. Please continue to pray so that God would bless what we are doing there.
Wendy is one of our teenage girls that comes to church faithfully. She just had a birthday and her dad, who does not
come to church yet, wanted to buy her a present. The whole family went to the downtown to get her one. Her dad
was offering to buy her a pair of pants. Wendy told him that she does not want any pants because she decided not to
use them anymore. He offered to buy her a sweatshirt but she said that sweatshirts go with pants and she didn’t want
one. He bought her a new skirt. On the way back they saw a procession in honor of a virgin that Wendy’s mom,
Mirna, used to worship. The dad asked the mom why she didn’t make the sign of the cross honoring her once
favorite virgin. Mirna told her husband: They have to carry her around because she can’t walk. She has ears but she
can’t hear. She has a mouth but she can’t talk. She continued to quote words from Psalms 115. He agreed with her.
Please pray that he will come to church and be saved.
We continue to go out soul winning looking for people that want to hear the Gospel. We went to a new section on
the side of the mountain where there are many dogs ready to bite us. In that area, on the first door, a teenage boy
came to the door. His name is Mike. As we were talking to him his parents came home and I switched the
conversation to the dad. His name is also Mike. After a few minutes of talking he invited Joshua and I to come into
his house. We sat down and I witnessed to him and he asked questions. He, his wife Maria de Jesus, and their son
Michael listened to the Gospel. They all trusted Christ to give them a home in heaven and save them from hell.
Please pray for this family to come to church.
We want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. What a wonderful time to be together with family and friends
thanking God for of the blessings that he has given us. Thanks again for your prayers for us and the ministry here in
Mexico. May God bless you all greatly.
Yours for souls,
Mike and Lidia Lemma
