Greetings Pastor and church family in the name of Christ, I hope all is well for each of you as you labor for our Lord. The work here in Socorro is doing well, we have just finished up knocking on 10,000 doors for the second time since we have arrived here in Socorro. We are having new visitors come almost every service.  Since we started here in Socorro we have knocked on 23,520 doors. After knocking on that many doors in this small community you would think that everybody here knows about the church, but we run into people all the time that doesn’t know about us. We are just going to keep on going, keep on knocking, and keep on inviting until the Lord comes. Lord willing we are going to knock on ten thousand doors again next year starting in the first of May. If you would like to come and see the work and help us saturate this community again it would be a great help to us. Contact us and we discuss some dates that we will be doing this big push to reach our county.  

      On October 13^th we celebrated our one year anniversary and the Lord gave us a wonderful day. We had 65 in attendance with fifteen first time visitors. My Pastor was here with us and he preached and challenged us to go forward. Our church has seemed to have taken that charge very seriously. We have had two families approach me since that service that want to be more involved in the church. These are families that we have been praying for that they would join the church and become workers and laborers in the Lords work. Please help us pray as we go forward this next year at Ridgeview Baptist Church of Socorro, New Mexico that the Lord would develop a mind to work within our church. Many of our new converts were saved out of Catholicism and they have never been taught to work and labor for the cause of Christ. Pray that the Lord would make soldiers for Christ out of these new converts that are just learning how to serve the Lord.

     We have seen two more people saved since our last prayer letter, a mother and her daughter called on Christ to save them on a Sunday morning service after I preached on “Where Art Thou” out of the book of Genesis. This makes over twenty professions of faith in the past year that we have been here trying to carry out the work. I praise the Lord for His Goodness and Grace in allowing us to serve Him in a place that is in such great need for the Gospel.

         Thank you again for your faithful support and prayers on behalf of our family. We count it a honor to be a part of your missions family, we could not reach the people in Socorro county without your help. May God bless you is our prayer
