Greetings from the ‘Hot and Humid ‘ Heart of Texas. We have had a wonderful Spring with record moisture and cool days. Those days are just a fond memory, and we are transitioning to Summer now. No matter the conditions or the weather we can enjoy every day when we are walking with the Lord, Amen? That requires prayer and the Word of God. Easy to neglect the most important things in every day, “we are super busy, don’t you know.”

A. W. Tozer gave us this wise advice: “Read it much, read it often, brood over it, think over it, meditate over it—meditate on the Word of God, day and night. When you awake at night, think of a helpful verse. When you get up in the morning, no matter how you feel, think of a verse and make the Word of God the important element in your day. The Holy Ghost wrote the Word, and if you make much of the Word, he will make much of you. It is through the Word that He reveals Himself. Between those covers is a living Book. God wrote it and it is still vital and effective and alive. God is in this Book, the Holy Ghost is in this Book, and if you want to find Him, go into this Book.”
We have had a busy spring and are thankful for every opportunity to serve him. I ask you to pray for the churches, the pastors and the workers in these churches. As you know, the battle is ongoing all around us and on many fronts. The needs are more and more urgent than we have seen for prayer and faithfulness in families and churches. The only answer is more of Him in our lives and that comes only by more Bible and more prayer.

Greetings to the Hudsons, may God continue to bless you both as you serve Him with your whole heart,
Thanks for the update on what you all are doing down in the State of Texas and beyond. We know about what is going on where the weather is concerned because Texas has been getting hit with all kinds of destructive weather and so prayers go up for you all down there. We will keep on praying for souls to be saved because we know that it is God’s will that they would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ before it is too late. Keep up the good work and remember that prayers are being said for you all until we all hear the “SHOUT”!
