Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from your friends
at the Missionary Ambassador Ministries!
Feliz Navidad y Prospero Ano Nuevo de tus amigos
en los Ministerios Misionero Embajador!
The month of December has been a blessing for the ministry in many areas including expansion of the ministry in new areas. Also, it has been a blessing to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour who stills saves today.
Tract Ministry Expanding All Over the World
Praise be to God for the opportunities this ministry has had to proclaim and spread the Gospel through the Planting The Word Tract Ministry. As of this writing, there are now 6 Gospel tracts written. The latest one written just this past week is entitled, “Joseph and the Birth of Jesus,” based on Matthew 1 and 2 with the birth of Jesus from the aspect of Joseph the carpenter. All 6 tracts have been received with open hearts. Also, the number of languages in which the tracts are being translated and used has increased. The total number of languages used is now 14, including the national language of Pakistan, Urdu.
So far, the Gospel is being spread by a few Pakistani pastors in the country, and I also got an Urdu New Testament to help understand the language. AS of this writing, two people have realized their condition of sin, and have made professions of faith. Please pray for these people in the village of Sialkot in Pakistan.
We have the opportunity of reaching the Middle East with Gospel message where missionaries cannot go in and the Gospel messages is restricted and even closed to the people of Muslim nations. Also, we're reaching the Far East in the Philippines and Singapore, along with the Indian Subcontinent, and all of the Americas. God is certainly good, and there have been reports of decisions for Christ through the tracts.
A box of tracts sent earlier this past fall have just been received by Pastor Alfonso Recalde Portillo in Paraguay over a week ago. Praise God for this opportunity to reach South America with the Word.
Radio Program Needs
The Missionary Ambassador Radio Program broadcasts cost $10 a month for Radio Stereo Vida and $75 a month for Radio Inspiracion, which is less expensive, but can add up, so it will be necessary to establish a Radio Ministry fund. If the Lord lays on your heart to help advance the cause of Christ through Radio, it would be greatly appreciated and used for the preparation, transmission, and follow-up in the work of Radio Evangelism. Please pray the many will be saved through the broadcasts as they reach lost souls for the cause of Christ.
Mentoring Pastors throughout the World
Here in the past few months, I have been helping, and mentoring a young Filipino Pastor, Lucrecio Booc, in his work, Malingin MBC in Barangay Malingin Island, Bien Unido off the island of Bohol in the Central Philippines. Malingin is a remote island at the Bien Unido Double Barrier Reef of the northern Bohol coast. They have about 45 members and he is preparing to be ordained. He has asked for about 80 KJV Bibles to be used there at Malingin MBC and two MB Missions on neighboring islands. Please pray for Bro. Lucrecio Booc and his work there, and that I could mentor him to be fully prepared for every good work in the leadership of the Lord.
Praise God that the three boxes I mentioned about last month have been sent on December 15. Lord willing, Bro. Lucrecio will receive them around New Year's week.
Also, I have been asked to mentor a Pastor friend by the name of Shaukat Harnam in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. He is an evengelical Pastor who is willing to ascribe to the Baptist faith. He has checked out the doctrinal statement of the ABA, and is in total agreement. If that is the case, then I will be able to mentor him, and be his teacher to mentor in the ministry. Please pray for Bro. Shaukat and his safety there in this predominantly Muslim nation.
Filling in at Marysville MBC this month
This past month, I got to fill in at Marsyville MBC fort he first three weeks of December and had a wonderful time preaching a series of sermons on “In The Beginning Was The Word...JESUS,” based on John 1. The messages were well received by the congregation. Praise God for the opportunities God gives me to preach His word throughout our sister churches.

Increased attendances in the NEW Washington Court House Mission
Increased outreach to all parts of the world through tracts, internet, etc.

Please pray for these needs that the Lord will supply the needs of the Mission work.
