In Memory of
Paul Stephen Martin

As many of you know by now, Beth’s brother, Paul, passed away on January 29^th, after a ten-month-long battle with cancer. It was a great loss for our family, but a great gain for Paul, as he is now with his Lord in heaven. Please pray for the Martin family during this difficult time.

We are very grateful that Beth had the opportunity to travel to the States and spend several days with Paul before his passing.  The trip was made possible by her cousin, Randy Gilbert, who was able to get the ticket for her through his job. Thanks, Randy!  Beth was able to be at her brother’s side for those final days and to help Paul’s wife, Lisa, during this difficult time in her life.

In honor of Paul’s love for the Lord, the Martin family has decided to set up a revolving memorial fund for printing the Word of God in foreign languages. If you are interested in sending a gift for this fund, please make your check out to “The Paul Martin Memorial Bible Printing Fund”.  Our sending church is handling the memorial fund for the Martin family.  Please send your gift to the address listed at the bottom of this page.

Paul will be missed, but his testimony for our Lord and the impact his life had on countless lives continues on. 

Third Anniversary of
Truth Baptist Mission

The first Sunday of February, we celebrated our third anniversary at the third church here in Guatemala. We had a good service with 54 in attendance, including several first-time visitors. Pastor Tomás Avendaño, of Faith Baptist Church in Villa Nueva was our speaker. 

We praise the Lord for the lives that he has changed and continues to change over that last three years. God has given us several faithful families that are actively involved in the ministry here. We are looking forward to what the Lord will continue to do, both in their individual lives, as well as the life of the church as a whole. Continue to uplift the brethren here in your prayers as we will be away for several months this year on furlough.
