Missions Update from John Parker

Dear Bible Methodist Missions Supporters / Prayer Partners:

Marc Sankey our new missionary to Mexico shared with me yesterday that the funds for the operation of the Bible Institute in Mexico have been completely depleted. This is a result of the decline of Student Aid support which was approximately half of the funding for the Mexico Bible
Institute. For several years the support for this program has been
decreasing year by year and in keeping with our policy of not spending more than what comes in the Missions Board has directed our Missions Treasurer to only send what comes in. The amount coming in is not nearly sufficient for the needs there.

Please pray that God will touch the hearts of those who have given for the Student Aid program and perhaps even new supporters for the Mexico Bible Methodist Institute. Exciting developments are in the works for this vital part of the Mexico work! I look forward to sharing this wonderful news as soon as possible! It is critical that we keep those such as our dear Institute President (a former graduate of the Bible Institute) Rev. Eliazar Balderas and his family encouraged as we transition into an exciting new phase of the work!

Perhaps some church would want to sponsor a student at the Institute.
Contact Bro. Marc Sankey for information on the costs involved.

We need some who will "Stand in the Gap" with us during this time of need! Changes are being made that will remedy this problem in the future. Let's do our part in keeping the Institute going until the needs and challenges have been met.

I leave in a few hours for a 12 day trip to South Africa and a couple
Holiness Conventions as well as a visit to the other Bible Methodist
Missionaries that are laboring there in South Africa and Lesotho. I will appreciate your prayers!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
