Dear Fellow-saints,
Another month has passed. Much has happened on the world scene. I have to remind myself that our God is still in control. The uncertainties of life can be a bit unsettling if we don't remember that we are His children and that all will work out.
We have been very busy this month of April with a meeting in Springfield, Ill; a mission Conference in Cleaton, KY and a 6 day revival meeting in Livermore, Ky. Souls were saved and saints rededicated their lives to the Master. Tomorrow we will be going to the Annual Spring Conference in Lexington, Ky. It will be the first time in many years that we have been in the States when it was going on. We look forward to a great time.
Our family is being blessed. Ursula's health is better but they haven't yet gotten things totally under control with her blood problem that caused the stroke. Michelle is going to graduate from High School on May 27th. I am getting bigger every month with all the good food. God is good to us.
The news from Brazil is good. All of our works are stable and some souls are being saved. On the 5th of June I will go to Brazil for a month to take care of some legal work and see the works. Pray for us that the trip will go well and be a blessing both to us and to the precious people there.
I will sign off for this month. I still have some openings in July, August and September and the first part of October. We have a new Stateside E-mail address which is: hmdubdbr@wk.net. Also, our Brazilian address still works. God bless all of you. We thank you for your faithful support.
Yours in Christ,
