Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Another month has come and gone, and we are still looking for the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is not because we are selfish and want to escape from our responsibility in this world as God’s ambassadors, but because we want to see Jesus! < /SPAN>Oh, what a day that will be! We are thankful that we can be sure that God has called us out of darkness and into His Light, and that we are safe and secure in His strong arms.

Well, I do have some news regarding our move to Decatur, AL. We are somewhat closer to the day when we can set the date of the move. The Lord blessed in that both cars have sold in the last couple weeks, after two months of advertising. The house has four or five parties which are seeking financing, so that they can buy our home. Maybe this week or next we will hear something. After the property is sold, it will take a month or so to get all packed and loaded into a container and say our goodbyes. We covet your prayers as we make this big move. God is our guide and we trust as He leads us one step at a time. I know the Lord will provide our needs as we get set up in a different church family, home, and city.

Last weekend we were in the capital city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras and preached for the Baptist Church in the area of La Pradera, its pastor being Bro. Leví Ríos. We traveled on Saturday and I preached there that night and again on Sunday morning. One of the main reasons for this trip was to deliver the Risograph printing machine which was given for the literature ministry in Honduras. Recently a folding machine was sent to us by Grace Baptist Church in Florence, KY and Pastor Wilbert Ellis. With their permission, we took the folder to leave it with Bro. Ríos, also. To te ach him and three other brothers how to use the machines, we printed the book by Bro. Doyal Thomas, “God Has Ordained Headship.” Bro. Ríos said, “I like this kind of printing!”

I also preached this past month in the mission work in Jesús de Otoro. Sovereign God Baptist Church has voted to continue on with the authority for this work, when we change our membership to Philadelphia Baptist Church in Alabama. I also preached many times this month in Sovereign God Baptist Church, for which we thank the Lord. The Lord blessed this month with the public profession of faith of one of our young teenagers who has been coming to church for ove r six years. She and her sister are blessings to the church. And I pray for their spiritual growth.

There are needs which remain in Honduras as we leave, and I trust that the Lord will supply. I know that you have read this in other reports, but another $2500 is still needed for construction of the church building of the Baptist Church in Llanos de Sula, San Pedro Sula. The pastor of this church is my son in the Lord from the village of Rio Esteban, Bro. Nerlin Palacios. Please pray for this need, and I pray that our Lord will move a couple of churches to help out.

Thank you all for your prayers for Sylvia and me as we make this emotional, God directed move to the USA. I’m sure that it will be a bit of culture shock for both of us. The Lord has always taken care of our needs, and I’m confident that He will prepare us for what lies ahead. Thanks for the years of prayers and faithful support for the mission work, as well as for Sylvia and me. I will close for now and trust you all will have a wonderful Lord’s Day.

Your brother in Christ,

Ted Tweet
