May
your
blessing be upon your
people.
Psalm
3:8
What a
wonderful
promiseto be delivered from
that
which
affects
our life in any wicked
way.
Not only that,
but we can also as Chris tians count on His
many
blessings. I
pray
that as
you
receive
our let ter you
will ail be richly blessed
and
that you are happy In
the
Lord.
It has
been
a long
time
since
our
last
newsletter
In
January,
but so
many
things have
happened
in our new work that it just seems we couldn't get
down
to writing one.
January
saw us helping
here
in
town
with a
Senior
Saints
program
at
El Paso Christian
College. Bill is now a trustee of EPCC so now and
then
we help
out.
I was privileged to
play
the
piano at their sessions
and
also kept Mom and Dad Ca^y
at
my home while they
were here to a tt end the Senior Saints program. This is a wonderful program for people
over 65 to get to know each other
and teach
each other more things. Yes, believe it or not,
you can sti ll learn from someone
else at
this
age Also in
January,
Bill
participated
in
the
missions
practicum at
El Paso Christian College. During that week,
the
van
from
Ozark
Bible
College
broke
an
A Frame
and Bill
ended
up
doing
a lot
of the
repair
work
for them. We
were
just thankful
that
it
broke
at
a slow speed
and
not
on
the
highway
Someone
could
have been seriously hurt. A
left A Frame
was not available in
the
local junk yards , so with
a little extra
work,
a right-hand
part
was found
and the group
managed
to get
back
to
Joplin, Missouri, without
further
problems.

in El Paso. Do pray for us at this t ime. Bill plans to
attend
the North American Christian
Convention in Kansas City.
The great announcement is a new baby will arrive in October. So do pray
that
the Lord
will provide for our needs
during
this
time
and also our regular support. It has been very low
and because of this
we have
our
house up
for
sale
and hope
to either
rent for
a while
or
be
able to make enough
out
of
this
house
so we can come up
with
a good down payment on a
sma ll er house.
Bill s mom, Margie, broke her shoulder last month while helping
out
her other son, Tom
and their new baby twins. Do pray for her
that her
healing will be soon and not very
painful. The twins were born with problems so remember them in your prayers
tool
You might
wonder
why I
started out
with
the
Bible verse I didbut, let me tell
you
that
since we ve been here, we have been full
of
problems. I believe it has been
the
devil trying to
discourage usbut I praise
the
Lord
for
being with us and giving us the strength we have
needed
at different
times. Please always remember us and keep us in your
prayers
every
day.
The work seems to be going good at the present time. Six different
points
of distribution
have been set up and Spanish American Evangelism has produced several hundred
thousand
pieces of literature since January. If the present rate is continued we should be able to
produce 1 million pieces this year This is up from 31
thousand tracts
which were
distributed during
1980
just a year and a half
prior
to
Bill s coming to Spanish American
Evangelism as director. Reports are coming in
from
many different places in Latin
America
emphasising
the need for more
materia ls and
stating that the materials which we are
providing are being used and souls are being won as a result.
Continue
to pray for this
ministry, the potential Isvery great and Satan knows this. He will do anything he can to slow
down the
work.
A
project
I
would
like
some of
you
to
help
with
is
supplying
Bill
with
clothesfrom
shoes
to
suit. His job requires presentable clothing and with
our
income right now, It Is just not
possible. If you would like to help out in this project, please write to me and I will let you
know sizes. I feel like the rest
of
us can make do
with
mommy sewing and
hand-me-downsbut there jus t are not too many men as big as Bill to pass on their clothing
him.

Also, we have
not
had health insurance on the family since going to Colegio Brblico 10
years ago. In this day and age, that is almost a necessity. Perhaps there is a church or class
who would like
to
take over a project
of
sponsoring health insurance
for the
family.
Thank you all so much and may God be with you. Without you, we couldn t make it.
Love

All,

P.S. As this letter is being written, our only transportation is sitting on the driveway just
waiting for Bill to begin
the
task
of
removing and rebuilding
the
engine. Bill put almost
40,000
miles on this vehicle during
the
past
10 months thanks
to
diesel fuel at
only
21 cents
a gallon in Mexico. The Scou t lost compression in
one cylinder
during a trip into Mexico
during the first week of May and Bill drove with only 5 cylinders for over a
month
until the
engine froze up. Pray that God will give Bill the guidance he needs as he rebuilds the engine
and that funds will be available as needed for the project.
P.P.S. Spanish American Evangelism is beginning a special
project of
publishing a special
printing of New Testaments.
Our
goal is to be able
to
issue a
contract
with a
printer
in
Mexico for 100,000 New Testaments. Total cost will be approximately $40,000.00. Over
1,000.00
has been set aside for this project. If
you
would like to participate , designate
your gift
to
New
Testament
fund.
40.00
will purchase approximately 100 New
Testaments

Dear Friends In Christ
We greet
you
again and give God
the
Glory
for
His many blessings.
We thank Him for answering
our
many prayers and
for the wonderful
people we find ourselves surrounded by. God Bless You All.
Our summer
was a very busy one and one in which we were
privileged to have many different guests in
our
home. In July
the
work
was piled up,
and
Thank
God, we finally
got
it
done
for
the
different conventions The
North
American Christian Conven tion
was taken in by one of our staff members, Marilyn Wood, and while
there
she was a good representative for us.
The Mexican Convention
which
I mentioned in our last letter
was

me but mainly helped Bill out at the office doing some typesetting in
order to get
all
the material
out
for the convention.
His secretary was
out
holding Vacation Bible Schools.
Well, I mentioned our
Scout being out of commission
in
our
last
letter, but.
Praise the Lord, Bill finally
got
it fixed 3 days
after
the
Mexican Convention,
and
then we
took off
for a V.B.S. in Casper,
Wyo.
Our time
spent in Casper with the Christians
there
was
wonderful.
Jeanne
Boyd had a wonderful program planried, which
brought her
great results. They
had
265 students
as
their
highest
attendance.
We praise
God
for
her wonderful work
being
done there.
Jeanne, we
also thank
you for
your great
hospitality
and
give
our
thanks
to the
church, too We thank the Balsam
family
for putting
up
with
us in
their
beautiful home. May
God
bless
them and
continue to
work
through them. Thank you,
Paradise Valley, for the
wonderful
offering
We were able to go
to
Scottsbluff
after
our visit in Casper. We
were thril led to
see
Grandma
Margie,
and my
girls
were
ready
to stay
and take their turn
living
with Grandma.
Do continue
to pray for
Margie. Her shoulder is still causing
her
much pain. She has also left
for
Colorado Springs, Colo.,
to try and
help
once
again
with her
other son's
children as
their
mom goes
off
to
work.
May the
Lord
give her the strength to carry on. On our way
home
from
Scottsbluff,
Neb., we also
stopped
and
saw
Tom, Bill s brother.
The
twins are
darling, and
Jonah,
his
oldest,
has grown into
quite
a fine boy.
We were able
to
meet
with the
Church at Bryant in Scottsbluff
and share our
work with
them
once
again.
Sure
was
good to see
them.
They
had a wonderful get-together for us and a baby shower.
Thank you
all
for the
fine gifts.
We also
happened to stop
by
the
Gering Central
Church on our
way
out of town and
were able
to
see
some
of
the people from there.
Thank
you also for
your gifts and prayers .
Ask
and ye shall be given. How
true
God holds
to
His promises.
I thank God for all
the
wonderful
responses to my last tetter,
concerning Bill s clothes. Bill has been blessed
with
different gifts of
money and clothes. I will not even
try
to
mention
everyone by name,
for fear of forgetting someone. Do know we
thank you
and
appreciate
your
generosity.
For
those that still
want them,

continue to give
their best
in what they do. Frances is anxiously
awaiting
her baby ; of
course, so am I. It seems like ages since I've
had this
tummy,
but
the
Dr. says Oct.
18
still. Keep
this
matter
in
mind.
We have
about
half of
our
bill paid, but we'll still owe
about
1,000. In Nov. we will have medical insurance, but they would not
take
us till
after
the baby is born. We thank the Randolph Christian
Church from Schertz , Texas, for their willingness to supply this for
u s
September brought
us a visit
from some wonderful friends
--
Bob
Betty Maupin from Gering, Neb. We
enjoyed
having them to
ourselves
for
a few
days and
pray that they were half as blessed as we
were by their visit. Be
sure
and
ask
them
about
their Mexican
Boots
Spanish American Evangelism is still going strong, but because of
lack
of
general
funds
it
has
not
been
able
to
print
as
much
material.
They hope to
go
ahead and print some
things anyway. S.A.E.
has
started
a fund
to
raise
$40,000
for Spanish New Testaments. We do
not have
the
accessibilty to New Testaments we had
before,
and
because so many people ask
for
them and because many of
our
projects
require
them, the S.A.E.
trustees
felt
this
was a good move.
Right now
the S.A.E.
staff is getting ready for the
Missionary
Convention, so again they are in a
mad
rush. Bill will
be attending
it
a lone
Those of you who read our last letter will be glad to hear that our
printer

out

operation jus t

Bart
had
a
tumor
the
size
of
lemon,
but
nothing
else was
found.
His vocal
cords were not hurt,
and he
was able to talk
soon
after the operation.
He is back to
work and
going
strong.
I thank
you for your prayers
