Dear Friends and Family,

We are just a few short weeks away from starting deputation. We have spoken with nearly 150 Pastors/Churches and have been blessed, encouraged, and challenged. We have a spotty schedule starting in August and continuing through October. We will travel from New York all the way to Georgia, and points in between.

We really appreciate your faithful prayers and support as we continue on this journey which God has called us too.
We are scheduled right now to take our survey trip July 19-26 in Cuernavaca, Mexico. We are so very excited to get back with our people. We still need your prayers as we are still in need of $450 to pay for the trip. If you are willing to help please send support to Mt. Abarim Baptist Missions P.O. Box 173067 Arlington, TX 76003. Checks to be made out to Mt. Abarim with our name in the subject.
We also are in need of a digital video projector. A video projector is used to connect to our computer to project what’s on the computer to a large screen. This tool will be used in churches to play our DVD which was created for our deputation. The cost for this tool is about $1,000, and is an essential part of our deputation. Most churches do not have this tool, and will require us to have our own if we are going to play our video. Please help us with this essential part of our deputation.

We love you all and are indebted to you for your help.

Deputation

We have started making phone calls, and it is exhausting. I had no idea how much work it would be to call Pastors. I guess there are some things you just can't learn in school.
We have been officially accepted by our mission board, Mt. Abarim Baptist International Missions, and are going to spend a week with Dr. Mike Patterson in Cuernavaca, Mexico at the end of July this summer. We are very excited to get back to Mexico as it has been nearly 3 years since we were last there. We really miss these people who have so deeply captured our hearts.
We covet your prayers, now more than ever before. As I have said to several of you already, it has become so evident to me how important the prayers of our supporters are. Without them we are lost and our efforts are in vain. Please let us know you are praying for us. There is no greater encouragement we could have than the fact that you are praying.
We are grateful to each of you for your prayers and continued support.
Kevin
