Update from Ken and Dee Holcomb

What an incredible summer we had. Our mission’s trips went especially well.

Dee, Peter, and I along with 3 Mexican nationals went to Spain to work in three youth camps. We saw many come to Christ and had a rich experience. Peter counseled and Dee and I worked in the kitchen and helped where we could. We were able to share our testimonies and do some one on one teaching.

A second team went to Costa Rica and ministered in the church we planted and in one of its missions where they put on a VBS. They were especially pleased with the attendance which averaged 65 children and adults with over 100 in the closing program.

A third team of teachers from Nogales Seminary went to Panama to work with Missions Door missionary Luis Matute. They taught in homes in the Extension Bible School Luis has set up there.

A fourth team did a pioneering work in the country of Cuba. We sent two students, Ricardo and Socorro, from the Nogales seminary along with a Cuban pastor. They visited many house churches that have been established there. They were a great blessing to the Christians who have little contact with believers outside of Cuba. The highlight of the trip was to participate in a youth rally of some 700 youth!

These teams could only go because of the prayers and sacrificial giving of many of you. Thank you so much. Your investment will reap eternal rewards. Praise God.
