Hi Rick I hope you’re well, is to see this message you will say I do not understand what he says, but if I write you is to tell you that I take you in my prayers, praying for the mission alive in you with the cross. If you still remember me, you will remember my desire to want to study theology, desire for which you would see what you said you would do for me, I’m still hoping that God has prepared for me, that is your are a great sign for me, and I really like to be a trained person like you, to preach the gospel to all nations of the world as you’ve done, I have faith in God that helps you every day and bless you greatly therefore, today I dare to write this to start the whole plan which God has prepared in my life, and that you were a light over my life to know and realize that in my heart I feel to be a great missionary who takes the gospel throughout the world, being a young man who makes a difference that when we have Christ in our hearts, we can do everything, since he strengthens us …. Muxo Take care, God Bless and remember that I took this in all my prayers

Rick and the Cross in Nicuargua

Cross in Nicuargua

Just received these pictures from my husband in Nicuargua. This picture shows  the volcano “Momotumba” in the background.  Rick has been there since Thursday and as you can imagine, he is thrilled!!!  He is in his element, witnessing, sharing the love of Christ!  He is carrying the Cross on average of 10 miles a day with Steve, a friend that he flew down with from N.C.  Their journey started in Managua and are walking approx. 60 miles to Leon.  Since I am learning how to find my way around the computer now, thanks to my beautiful friend, Dianne, who is a Web designer, I am just going to let you hear his words from the very first day of carrying the cross!

…  “we had a great service tonight. so many they would not fit in the church. So they set up outside under a Mango tree.. Carlos did the translating they listened good. I preached 1Thes.2:4.  this afternoon we carried the cross all around town. Thats where I prayed with the one man to receive Christ. We gave out hundreds of tracts prayed in peoples homes it was beautiful, even took the cross in. Tomorrow we have 2 young teens that want to walk with us. So I said yes…Their excited…We will be on the road by 7:30 am to beat some of the heat. each day its getting hotter. I have one blister dont want more. Been a great week of ministry. We hope to make Leon by Thurs Am at the latest.”

We continue to covet your prayers and praise God for the many hearts and souls that will be changed!
