MARCH 2010

As we look forward to springtime we also look forward to a renewal of God’s wonderful creation.  Spring brings new growth and new life after the deadness of winter.   We also look for a time of revival and renewal in the work of the Lord around the world.  Our missionaries are reporting souls saved, believers baptized, and new works begun.  We need to all be in prayer that the Lord will send a great revival to America and to the works of our faithful missionaries around the world.

There has been a great outpouring of prayer and financial offerings for the people of Haiti.  Bro. Jacques Alexandre reports a large number of people saved in the days since the earthquake.  They have begun the process of trying to salvage what they can from the ruins of their church building in Hatt (Port Au Prince).  It will take them many months to be able to rebuild their building and home.  They have been meeting in the open air in front of the destroyed building and have had as many as 1200 in attendance.  They are also beginning a new work in one of the tent cities that has sprung up on the outskirts of Port Au Prince.  Pray that many more will be saved.  If you would like to make the Haiti Relief project a part of your regular monthly missionary budget, you may send the offerings to the Mission Office marked “Haiti Relief” at:

WBF Mission Office
P. O. Box 13459
Arlington, TX 76094

The funds will be used exclusively by Bro. and Mrs. Alexandre in the ongoing relief and rebuilding efforts there in Haiti.

Please continue to pray for our missionaries who are battling illness:
Betty Hawkins continues her chemotherapy treatments following surgery for breast cancer.  She will also be undergoing reconstructive surgery in the coming months.  Monoka Brown received a good report from the surgeon following her breast cancer surgery.  They feel they got all the cancer, but she will undergo radiation treatments as a precautionary measure.  Kannika Tucker is recovering from surgery in Thailand for a malignant melanoma, but her pathology reports were all good following the surgery and they do not feel the cancer had spread.  Mike Lane received a good report on his checkup for prostate cancer.  He and Debbie have returned to the work in Honduras.  Doyle Whaley continues his battle with Alzheimer’s and deafness.  Both he and Wanda really need your prayers.  The following missionaries continue their ongoing battles with illness:  Debi Harris, Joy Chapman, Abigail Mitchell, Amber Cato, Diane Cato, Dale Brown, Mary Gagnon, Monnie Bacon, Gloria Higgins, Joe & Elaine Hawkins, Rebecca Hawkins, Dana McCutchen, Sandy Janky, Charlene Neill, Linda Carruth, Juanita Bowen.

We appreciate each church and each individual Christian who uphold our missionaries in prayer and financial support.  We also appreciate those who pray for our office staff and who support the General Fund.  We could not serve our missionaries without you.
