Beloved Brothers and Sisters - I miss all of you so much and long to be with you when the Lord will make that possible. Please love one another for me. A couple of weeks back Joseph and Ms. Genie brought a medical mission team to Ecuador; by all accounts it was an amazing mission: they got along fine as a mission team, treated hundreds of patients, preached the Gospel and gave Christian witness, and enjoyed the great beauty of Ecuador.
Genie's son Paul Jordan died while the Ecuador group was readying to fly back home. Paul died calling out to the Lord for help and we know God heard his plea. Lots of people gathered at Big Woods for a memorial service - the Holy Spirit was present in a powerful way.
Joseph, Joanie Thompson and Lori Harvey left right away for General Cepeda to staff the FUS mission trip, and are there now. The trip is going well.
Kevin and Sarah and the kids have moved into their new house down the street from the mission house and they really like it.
Kevin and Andréa Brown and the children are here with us at Big Woods. Andrea is planning a jaw surgery and will need to undergo preliminary treatments in preparation fore the surgery. They will probably be here for some time.
I spoke with Brother Albert a couple of weeks back. He was back in Poland after a visit with our missionaries in Cordoba - the visit had really blessed him. He's now renewed his Polish I.D. and Passport and needs our prayers to renew his U.S. visa. He's going to be visiting a Polish parish for week TO TALK WITH PEOPLE ABOUT HIS MISSIONARY SERVICE AND TO FIND PRAYER AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT. Then he will visit another parish in Norway for a week. After that he hopes to travel to the Ukraine to scout our a new mission where he and his companions can live and serve for a long period. Then he hopes to return to Big Woods to prepare himself and get other missionaries to accompany him to the Ukraine mission. There's lots for us to pray for in all this! And it sounds like a great plan!
Anthony and Holly are well situated in Piedras Negras, Mexico. Fr. Armando has give them lots to do. Pray that their ministries will blossom and bear abundant fruits. Holly's pregnant again, Praise the Lord. They'll plan to be here at Big Woods when the new baby is born.
Jonathan, Chris and John Paul are doing a great job in their new Saltillo mission - they are also able to help out with the General Cepeda short term groups. Sarah Granger reports to me that she has nothing but admiration for their missionary style and commitment.
Jayne Montgomery is here at Big Woods supervising a group of four volunteers who have come down from Minnesota to work at Big Woods during their spring break - they are also interested in missions. They are painting St. Paul's House. Jayne is waiting for Colby to arrive, and the two of them are flying out to the Philippines at the end of the month; they will be living on a beautiful paradise island; but the mission work will be very demanding and challenging - we need to pray them into the new mission!
Genie and I went to minister in the Dallas area this past weekend. We gave seventeen talks from Thursday evening to Monday morning - it was GLORIOUS!!! We spoke on the Holy Spirit and missions on two radio programs and in two churches. And we got to visit with Susanna, Mike and the boys. We loved it. Pray the Lord will fulfill His Word in the lives of all we ministered to, that His Word will not return empty.
Sarita and Eric are in Wisconsin giving a Confirmation retreat and leading an evening of Praise and Worship - Pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all whom they minister to!
We realize our salvation one day at a time. We walk with Jesus one day at a time. We can only serve as missionaries and show God's love for others, and care for those in need and preach, and engage in the spiritual battle one day at a time. There are always great struggles, but only one day at a time. Then there are the glorious days of triumph and victory in the Lord!
This is the day of our salvation, now is the time. Do all you can for Jesus and God's children today; don't worry; be steadfast; keep your eyes fixed on Jesus - He has won the victory for us and for all who will come to believe in Him. Be Holy one day at a time, it's totally doable, one day at a time. Let's pray for one another each day, and for our benefactors and all the Church, let's pray that the Gospel will reach all mankind in these days. Let's pray for a springtime of Evangelization and for a new Pentecost and outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
I love you so much, in Jesus, Frank

How do Catholics preach the gospel and give a Christian witness? I am just curious because I know it is vastly different than biblical evangelism. I know that the Catholics believe that salvation is through the sacraments, so do you preach Jesus Christ crucified or do you preach the sacraments when you present the gospel. Also I noticed you guys on AOC, I understand that the Catholic Church has many anathema's against "protestants", that is to say condemnation. Why on your show on AOC are you singing a protestant song by HIllsong in Austrailia which is an Assembly of God protestant church. Why would you sing a song written by someone that your faith teaches is condemned. I am just trying to find some honest answers to these questions. I am pro gospel, I just want to see the Truth high and lifted up in the earth.
