Can a Christian Lose His Salvation?
Rules of Biblical Interpretation
NEWS AND PRAYER
Thank you for your interest. We are currently teaching in Pachuca, Mexico, at the Centro de Estudios Teológicos y Ministeriales. This four-year seminary has the goal of training pastors, missionaries and other Christian workers for the work of the Lord in Mexico and other countries. We train people specifically for the CIEMAR, Confraternidad de Iglesias Evangélicas Misioneras, but also for other groups.
Dean currently teaches Synopsis of the Old and New Testaments, Introduction to Biblical Hebrew and also a one-semester course on Isaiah every other year in the spring. He also co-pastors a mission church with the Seminary director and last year taught a series on Second Peter. Sylvia teaches students in piano, voice, and flute.
For the current school year, 2008-2009, we once again have 9 new full-time students, including a young man from Nicaraugua, and several part-time students.
We had an eventful summer with many challenges and difficulties, but also wonderful blessings. We've concluded that they often go together. One of the main difficulties was the decline of Sylvia's father, who died on August 8th. Sylvia had good visits with her father during late April and May. He had a good testimony of salvation and was ready to meet the Lord.
Sylvia was able to get eye tests done in Virginia that the Mexican doctors didn't have, and was able to see that she does indeed have membranes on both retinas. But the good news is, they appear to be coming off. Although she still has problems seeing at times, overall she does pretty well. We are praying that the membranes come all the way off and do not reattach.
We as always, praise the Lord for His grace in our lives especially in this furlough and deputation. God granted that we received around $300 in new monthly support. We especially thank all who prayed and all who give.
