Joel and Marilu Marsh: February and March 2006
Dear Friends in Christ,
What a wonderful joy it is to be able to serve a risen Savior. His goodness and His blessings are beyond measure! It is also great to be able to see how God is working in each and every one of our lives abroad on the mission field and here in the U.S.
Yesterday I (Joel) had the wonderful privilege of winning a man to the Lord in the city of Carthage, Texas. This man, who was probably in his mid-20's promised to be in Church this coming Sunday. Please help me pray for Bro. Esquivel that he will growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Last week I had the opportunity to preach a youth conference in Mustang Baptist Church located in north-central Texas. The weather was bad with freezing rain in the mid-20 degrees, which led to many car accidents on the streets and highways. But in spite of these conditions we had a great attendance. God worked in a marvelous way and we saw fourteen (14) people come forward for salvation in these services.
I have been informed that during the past two months there have been 12 people saved and 6 people followed the Lord in Believers Baptism in our "Jesus Christ Saves" Baptist Church back in Guatemala City. God is using our national pastors in a tremendous way. Please remember to pray for them that God will provide and supply their basic needs (most of these men live on $70.00 to $100.00/month). There names are: Walter Morales, Edwin Escobar, Hugo Santos, Cesar Soto, Luis Abad, Leonel Perez, Joel Monzon, Edgar Rivas, and Cesar Soto. We praise God that we have others who are currently studying and preparing themselves for the ministry in our "Hope Baptist Bible Institute".
If I haven't had the opportunity to visit your church while we have been on furlough and you would like for me to send you a copy of our 11 minute DVD presentation, please let me know. My house telephone number is: (727) 526-2345.
Once again, thank you for your faithful prayers and support.
Yours for souls we remain,
Joel, Marilu, Joel Jr., Joshua & Joanna
