March 2010 Newsletter

		March 2010 MITC March Newsletter Dear James, Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ... Philippians 3:20 Who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." Acts 1:11 We have a hope that is out of this world, literally. Our hope is in HIM, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our Savior, Redeemer, and our eternal Hope rests in him. This is a present source of encouragement and strength in the midst of this world full of trials and temptations. Praise the Lord we have a great Savior!
Thank You on Behalf of Beto
		In last month's letter we shared with you regarding Beto, Mary's son, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We want to thank you for your prayers for him, and also share with you the wonderful news about this problem. First of all, the Lord allowed Beto to get an emergency appointment in the US Embassy in Mexico City to see about a visa to travel to the US for medical treatment. This appointment was granted 2 days after it was requested and a visa was issued immediately for his travel! God provided a neurosurgeon, and a radio neurologist, and a urologist, to check him in Shreveport. After running special full body scans as well as brain scans, it was determined that this was not a dangerous or growing tumor, but a fatty mass that has been with Beto possibly from birth, and that he should only be under observation for 3 to 6 more months. No surgery was necessary or any kind of treatment! He has been doing and feeling great! We are grateful to the Lord for his provision and for this turn of events and blessings upon Beto, Mary, Marlene, and all of our mission family. Special thanks to Mrs. Sherri Hagerhjelm who was the medical coordinator for Beto, and to Dr. and Mrs Rudolph Troup who opened their home for the duration of their stay in the US. Also we thank all the doctors who saw Beto during this trying time. Now we pray for God's continued grace and guidance for Beto, and that his life will continue to be a testimony to the mercy and grace of God. Once again thank you for your prayers.
God and Surgical Team help 40 patients in 3 days
		Also during the last month we saw the Lord's hand upon the surgical teams led by Drs. Kacy and Powell. These brethren came once again with several doctors and nurses and performed surgeries in the Chinanteco town of Usila, and also here in Cordoba. As each of these teams worked in the Operating Room our students worked outside, with the patients and relatives, sharing of Christ, and their need of Him, also praying with them before and after surgery. God blessed this time of service and many people were helped with surgeries of their hernias, gall bladders, and several gynecological procedures. Over 40 people were helped during the 3 day surgery trip. We are thankful for the good outcome and recovery of all the patients, and for the testimony shared of God's love and hope during this campaign.
Bill Britt and the United Youth Choir
		We also had the visit of brother Bill Britt who came and preached for several evangelistic meetings with the United Youth Choir, and also shared with brethren from the mountain village churches during our bi-annual Study sessions for village preachers. In spite of catching a serious stomach virus, God used Bill powerfully in the preaching of the Word, and we were also blessed with the messages in song shared by Wendy (Bill's wife). One of these meetings was held in a downtown Cordoba theatre, there many people who had never heard the Gospel message before, were exposed to the truth of Christ our only Hope. God blessed this time in a special way, many hearts were moved to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are thankful for the Britt's visit and also for the Youth Choir that continues to be a blessing in a special way.
Woodcreek Church Partnership
		Woodcreek Church has partnered with us in the ministry for many years. This past month they sent two very special teams to serve among us. First was the Men's Work group that came and built a roof on a new classroom here on campus, and also helped put the walls up on the church building at El Pochote. This group was led by Pastor Bill Brewer and brother Tom Belter. It was exciting to see these men put together trusses, then mount them, and in less than a week have a new roof and ceiling on this building here on campus. A unique blessing was to see these men from the US joined by our 3rd year men working together as one team. This also allowed our guys to learn how to use many building tools and techniques. Of course the fellowship and camaraderie was great during this time of service to the Lord. Then a week later, the Women's Group came from this same church, to help with the annual Women's conference. Carol Brewer and Chuy Hall, were the speakers for the ladies this year, and once again it was a special time of spiritual refreshing and encouragement for all those who attended. The theme of the conference was "God of Promises". Over 200 ladies who came for this 2 day event. In addition to the conferences there were classes and small group sessions led by our girl students and staff wives. Once again many lives were touched, and the Hope in Jesus Christ was strengthened in the hearts of many ladies as the faithfulness of God was seen in his never failing promises.
