Dear Friend,
“By this my father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples”
John 15:8
It gives me much pleasure to say my “wife and I” are very thankful and humbled by all your prayers and support. Thank you so much for being a part of our lives, by being interested in what is going in our lives and how the Lord Jesus has chosen to use us to glorify the father through Him now as a married couple.
The month of April was one to remember for many years to come in our lives. All the wedding preparations having fallen into place and much thought gone into what it really means to get married. As the 13th rolled in it was just so surreal, as we looked back to how far the Lord has brought us through being great friends for the past 9 years to now being husband and wife. As we said we do, I (Donald) “I could not hold myself back from smiling, as I glanced upon my radiant bride!” Thank you very much for all of your efforts and everyone who worked so hard to make it a great day for us.
Having had a few days away and saying goodbyes to our families and friends in England, we boarded a ship bound for the States. We had booked a cruise for our honeymoon, which we had found to be a better deal as it would work out for our transportation back to the Americas. As the ship sailed from Southampton to New York, we prayed we would not end up on a Titanic!! But that even if we did, may we do so glorifying the father.
We were very encouraged that on board the ship, we found there was a Christian fellowship meeting every day. The gentleman and his wife who led the group were on an around the world cruise. It was with great joy that at the end of the first meeting, after he got to know that we were Missionaries, he invited Donald to share from scripture the next day and again the very last night of our cruise. It was a great blessing that even on our honeymoon the Lord decided to use us this way. As we studied John chapter 15 we were reminded again how the only thing that shows that we are truly the Lord’s disciples is “BEARING FRUIT,” and it’s the very reason He chose us in Him.
Mexico
We are right now in Ohio before we start traveling back to Mexico by road, so we should be there by next week. Here is a report from Myrna and Tadeo;
“For now, we would like you all to support us in prayer for the visits that are coming up next week.A group is coming to Nuevo Delicias to give the men work clothes and work shoes and a short class on safety. They are non-Christians so please pray that they will all receive the gospel in a fertile heart! Also a group of 10 youth and their leaders are coming from Tennessee arriving Saturday, plus Brother Ike from Oklahoma, God is up to something!! Please pray for courage for Tadeo and I, for a sensitive heart to discern what God is doing and embrace it. For safety for them and for God's will in all we do and say during their visit.” By Myrna de la Rosa
Praise Report & Prayer
We Thank God that we are alive and passionate to see His Will come to pass in this world. Please continue to pray that we will be fruitful in all good works, as we continue to be deeply and crazily in love with Jesus and the Gospel, to the Glory of the Father.
Please also pray for safe travel back through the States to Mexico and that we would settle back into life there as a married couple.
May you continue to bear much fruit for His kingdom, in and out of season this month, as the Lord leads you for the Gospel.
With Much love and Blessings
In His Service,
Donald & Becky
