Great News

            We have found out that Tammy is pregnant again and we believe God has given the doctor wisdom to know what has been wrong.  At this time Tammy is about eight or nine weeks along, and doing great.  We even got to see the the heartbeat of the baby, which we never saw the last few times she miscarried.  Praise the Lord!  Please pray with us that God will watch over, and protect both Tammy and the baby.  We will keep you posted after doctor’s visits.

Lots of Work

            Well, with the home and property comes a lot of fixing, cleaning, building, and of course, moving.  Most of the moving is done, although I cannot say we are all settled in.  We have been blessed with the finances and help to build and pour the slab for our addition!  That was more work and money than I anticipated, but it is done and well worth it!  We were also able to paint the house, which desperately needed it.  The house was built in 2002 and had never been painted.  We have also been able to start cleaning up and fixing up the property for camp.  Things are looking great!  We still have a long way to go but we are staying busy, taking it one step at a time.  We still need materials for the building of the addition, and ask that you pray with us on this matter.  We would love to have the addition in the dry by the beginning of October.

First Meeting on Property

            We wanted our church people in Newcomb, as well as brothers and sisters in Christ in the area, to see what God was doing for the vision of Camp Christa so we planned to have a picnic and tent meeting on the property.  We did so on the afternoon of Sunday August 22.  This was to be our church service as well, which meant our people had to make the 80 mile one-way drive to Cortez.  The events started at 12:30, and continued until about 5:00.  It all turned out amazingly well!  We had most of our folks from Newcomb, as well as some friends, neighbors, and visitors, for a total of 89 people.   We had the Tero family sing for us for about an hour and a half, and then Bro. Larry Blades preached.  We had a wonderful time in the Lord, and our hearts were encouraged to see the big top tent set up and filled up for the first time on the property.

Thanks

            Thank you all for your many prayers.  God does answer our prayers!  Thank you for your faithful support that helps makes the entire ministry possible.

Because of Jesus,

Baptisms in Aquismón

On July 4, while most were celebrating the independence of the United States, eight believers in Aquismón celebrated their independence in Christ through the ordinance of baptism.  All eight had been discipled by three different leaders in the church.  Some were from Tampate, a village near Aquismón, others from Tancuime, where we have a mission, and still others from right here in Aquismón.  Eleven other candidates from Xolmon are awaiting baptism, which has been planned for July 25.  Join me in prayer for Faviana, Amelia, Erika, Estanislao, Natalia, Vianey, Juan Abdías, and Eunice as they continue to grow in the Lord.

Alonso and Family Return to Chiapas

The second week of July was a sad one here in Aquismón.  Alonso, Doris, Erika, and Isaías left to return to Chiapas.  Alonso will continue his studies in the university there.  We hate to lose them, but rejoice that he desires to better prepare himself to serve the Lord.  Pray for them as he decides on some ministry opportunities.

Share Your Faith Seminar

On June 26 twenty students participated in  a nine hour Evangelism Explosion one-day clinic on how to share your faith.  Three churches were represented: Aquismón, Tancanhuitz, and Ixteamel.  One member from the mission in Tancuime also attended.  Nahum Vega, national director of EE in Mexico, presented the course.  This was a joint effort between the Aquismón Baptist Church and the Bible Institute.   The institute paid for the travel expenses of the teacher, while the church provided the meals for the students and teacher.  At the close of the session, all students went out for a practice session during which several persons heard the gospel and some were saved.

Institute Classes

In both May and June I was privileged to teach two different classes in Veracruz and Axochiapan; both are our extension sites.  Philosophy of Missions II was the course in both locations.  A total of 35 students attended. 

Plans are being made for Old Testament Survey II to be taught in Veracruz in September.  Andrés Pacheco will be the teacher.  Possibly Systematic Theology I will be taught by me in Axochiapan in either September or October.

Video Conference Class

During the second week of June Dr. Elton McCann taught Pastoring the Smaller Church to over twenty students in three locations using the video conferencing technology.  Students from Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico took the course in three extensión sites:  Arkansas, Mexico, and Costa Rica.  The next class will be in August and Dr. David Hellwig will be teaching New Testament Survey and Introduction I.  Pray for the students as they finish their assignments from the first class and prepare the assignments for the second class.

Please remember the following ítems in prayer:

1.             Video Conference class taught at BMA Seminary in Jacksonville, TX and transmitted to Mexico and Costa Rica.

2.             Finances for the rental of the video conference room in Cd. Valles.

3.             Plans for video conference classes for 2011.

4.             Peace for Mexico.

5.             Plans to travel to Bolivia and Guatemala for September and October.

Blessings,

Dear pastor, church family and praying friends;

We bring greetings to you in the name of out lord and savior Jesus Christ. We pray that this letter finds you in good health and spirit as we all continue to labor in His ministry.

Summer has begun here in India and is really getting hot. All schools and colleges are closed for the summer break and will reopen in June. We all had a good year for the Christian academy and look forward to the next academic year. All kids from the children’s home are gone for the break and will return in June.

We all start getting busy again in May with our annual youth conference. We are expecting a huge number this time. Last year we had a gathering of 400 and we expect more this time. The meeting will be held for three days in the last week of May just before school starts. This will be the third annual youth conference since the time we have returned to India. Please keep this meeting in your prayers.

And finally, the Kelgi church building is ready and was dedicated to the Lord on the March 23. A service was held in the morning and over 300 attended!*  It was incredible! Considering the building would hold about 200, we were well packed. All stayed back for the noon lunch that was provided. Truly God was honored, praised and glorified to the highest. We had a three day series of gospel meetings. People from all the surrounding villages were present, braving through the scorching summer heat. The gospel was preached all the three days in an open tent meeting, and many came to know Christ. All the church members are very thankful to all those who prayed and contributed towards this project. Many gave testimonies to how God has answered their prayers for this building.

Continue to pray for the needs of this ministry as we continue to preach and teach God’s precious Word that we all have tasted. Please keep in prayer the vehicle that is very much in need for the ministry also.

Once again we take this opportunity to thank you for your prayers and continued support towards missions. We also pray for you.

In Christ

Prakash family
