January 2012 Prayer Letter
Dear Praying Friends,
Winter is one of our favorite seasons, with snow and a cup of hot chocolate. We have yet to see snow because we have spent most of our winter down South on deputation in North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. We were able to see 3 people saved in January and visit 7 churches, one of which was a missions conference with Pastor Armendariz at Iglesia Bautista Biblica el Faro in Haines City, Florida.
We have been on deputation now for eight months. God has been very good to us in keeping us safe and meeting all our needs and more. In the past eight months, we have visited 60 churches, seen many people saved, and seen our support grow. We are grateful to Pastor Dotson and the people of Believers Baptist Church in Elberton, Georgia, for recently taking us on for support.
One of our highlights in January was the opportunity to be with Pastor Charles Hughes at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Old Fort, North Carolina. Due to Pastor Hughes having surgery, he gave me the opportunity to preach for him the Sunday morning and evening services. During the invitation of the morning service, a teenager named Mitchell raised his hand for salvation. After
witnessing to Mitchell, he bowed his head and received Christ as his Saviour. I was very honored by the opportunity to: (1) help Pastor Hughes and (2) see Mitchell get saved.
We give God the glory for all the wonderful blessings we have been given by each church we visit, each person we meet, and each person we see saved. My family and I would also love to be a blessing to you and pray for you. Please remember to send us any
prayer requests you, your family, or your church may have.
Thank you for your prayers for our family and team. Our team is planning to get to Peru this coming summer. We are all very excited about the plans God has for us. We know He will do great things because He is doing great things even now. Thank you
for your support; it is not taken for granted. May God bless you.
The Martinez Family
