Sheri and Annie have gone full circle to Las Vegas NV. Annie flew home to Washington on Wednesday. What a wonderful adventure we had traveling around the Northwest USA meeting with friends, relatives and sharing is some churches about the mission.

Sheri planned to head out same day but got a call from Pastor Lee Shaw's wife in Arizona. Jacque told me her husband and his dad will be here in Las Vegas after their church service on Sunday and we will be discussing how we can do Webinar Bible School training for the remote pastors in our missions in Oaxaca. 

Lee's dad, Tom Shaw recently retired as a missionary to Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico and had Bible Schools especially for the remote pastors.

Garett Jackson is our director in Lachiguiri says he can monitor these classes also as he always likes having others help teach . Victor Jesus Flores who works with Pastor Damian is the teacher on our coastal missions.

 I am very excited about using this new media in Mexico to train new pastors.

Meanwhile Pastor Damian is driving to our many remote missions to bring in new members for another day of baptisms to be held at the beach mission of San Agustin. Today he is bringing down 10 people from one of the missions in the back of his small red pickup and there is heavy rain. Please pray for this trip. He brought another load down yesterday in pouring rain.

From June 2013 Baptism
It has only been a couple of months since the last baptism when 20 new converts were baptized. Another 25 plan to be baptized this Sunday. A day of celebration. God is moving in Oaxaca!!

Monday afternoon after the meeting with the Shaws, I will start driving back to Colorado in my Minnie RV. No driver for this leg of my trip. Pray God will be with me and that the weather is safe for traveling over a few mountain passes.

We need prayer partners to help pray for me (Sheri) and the mission that God has used me to work in over the last 25 years. He also sent many other teams to network with us.

 I sometimes don't understand why God chose me for this mission but He does have a plan for each of us. I've made many mistakes along the way but thank God it is His work and I am only a tiny part of who He chose for this task.

I am also grateful for the many partners who have helped through prayer, short term mission projects and the financial support. Several of our main supporters have died in the last couple of months so we are in dire need of others to take their place.

All for His glory,

Sheri Burk
