Dear Praying Friends,
My wife and I want to say thank you so much for all your love, prayers, support, cards, e-mails, gifts, and other acts of kindness this past year. Only Heaven will truly reward you for all you have done to help us to reach precious souls with the Gospel.
The Lord has been blessing in a powerful way. In Guadalajara we did a huge evangelistic rally for two days, with around 1,518 people saved. To God be all the glory! Later in Ciudad Victoria in a soul-winning outreach, we had over 250 people accept Christ as their Saviour. Then in Saltillo in a one-day meeting, we had about 160 precious souls saved. After that we had an evangelistic outreach in Monterrey, with over 630 trusting in Christ. When I think of all this, I think of what the Lord Jesus Christ said: “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Please pray with us for 100-300 fiery evangelists to be raised up to preach Christ to the multitudes, help build and start churches, raise up more full-time servants, and train churches to be more effective soul winners for the glory of Christ.
The harvest truly is plenteous, but we just need more laborers. Oh, there are so many people who will trust Christ as their Saviour if we will only tell them. Let’s work together to rescue them from spending an eternity in the fires of Hell. In Monterrey there was a little boy named Noé who had lost his mother when she was driving drunk and got in a terrible car accident. Also, Noé’s father had been shot and killed. My wife, with a broken heart shared, Christ with Noé, who was able to experience the love and forgiveness of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. There are many people who may not have the same circumstances as Noé but desperately need Jesus as well. My heart yearns to see others trust Christ as their Saviour.
Please pray that God would use us in a greater way to see souls saved for the glory and honor of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for all your love, prayers, and support that are helping us to reach precious souls for Christ.
Yours for souls,
Darrell Ratcliff
