Mexico, Peru, Kenya, and more in the April 2023 Prayer letter

Thank you for all you do as part of Alignment Ministries

Saturday, April 1, 2023


Hey friends,


Wow, God blessed this month in significant ways. Through your prayers and giving through Alignment Ministries, we are sending $8,000 to a church in Queretaro, Mexico. You are making a difference. 


You are also giving to Thomas Alute in Kenya. He is one of the best men I have ever known. He carries a back-breaking load, having stepped in for missionary Randy Stirewalt who is now in heaven. I am excited that you and I get the chance to help there. 


Last of all, you are helping a missionary widow with a small amount each month, plus a new Spanish church plant and church planting missionaries in Peru. We are trying to add new projects as the Lord provides the money. Thanks for the help.


Betty and I will travel to Peru in just a few days and be there for about three weeks. Then next month we will spend a couple of weeks in South Africa. 


I am excited to be working on the book “The Forgiven Forgive.” God has worked extensively in my heart as I studied, prayed, and wrote. Five of a probable twelve chapters are in the rough draft already. 


I just returned from a writer’s conference where I went to learn more about writing. The classes I am taking and the critique group have been helping. 


I became a John Maxwell certified speaker and coach also this past month. I am still trying to learn new things. I want God to use my life as much as possible.


Thank you all very much for praying for us. Thank you to those that give so sacrificially to see the work of God go ahead.

We need policies and control mechanisms but must learn not to rely on them exclusively. They undermine the very essence of a thriving workplace.

Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary.  Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
