Goldfuss update (January 15)

Dear Praying Friends,

We have had about 2 weeks here where much of the family has been struggling with some different ailments and sicknesses. Please pray for the Lord's grace and strength to endure and seek to be a glory to His name in spite of most not feeling well.

Morgan was supposed to start last week in the new ministry with the family in another state who wants to begin services. The main man has been working on Sundays, and so we were feeling like perhaps nothing was going to come of it after all. After talking with them on Sunday night, the man has stopped working on Sundays, and Morgan will be going this Sunday for the first time to preach to them. Please pray for the Lord to open a church in Zitacuaro, Michoacan for His honor and glory. Pray for Morgan's strength to continue on there and for safety as he travels each Sunday. It was neat two Sundays ago to dedicate Morgan before the whole church to the Lord for this service. That is something that we have never been able to do before.

This coming Saturday there is a ladies' meeting. They are going to be studying for 1 hour and then seeking to work for the second hour on different things that need to be done for the other side of the church to be useable. Please pray as there are several people who have promised to get some things done for the church, but they have not done them yet. They are holding up other things from getting done.

Sra. Gloria is not doing well with her diabetes. She said that last week she was not able to see out of her left eye and her right eye has been causing her problems. She is not scheduled to see the social medicine doctor until March. Please pray for the Lord to intervene on her behalf.

Martha was not in church again this past Sunday. She has many problems with her health, family and work that are a great discouragement to her. Please pray for her to not forsake the assembling of herself together with her brothers and sisters in Christ. Please pray for her to have great wisdom in dealing with the different problems that she faces each day. Pray that our church would be burdened to exhort her with much love.

Last week Mike was able to renew contact with Chucho, Miguel and Raul, three men that we haven't seen much in recent years but who were great friends when we first arrived. Miguel and Chucho listened again to the gospel. Please pray for their salvation.

Thank you for your faithful prayers, support and encouragement for us here. We greatly appreciate all of you who have a part in the Lord's work here.

Love in Christ,
Mike for all the Goldfii
