My wife and I want to say thank you so much for all your love, prayers, support, cards, emails, gifts, and other acts of kindness this past year. Only Heaven will truly reward you for all you have done to help us reach precious souls with the Gospel. We are truly blessed and so grateful for all your generosity.
We had an amazing evangelistic outreach in Ciudad Victoria, with over 800 people trusting Christ as their Saviour. And then in Monterrey, in spite of bad weather, we had a great victory for the Lord, with around 120 people saved.
Later I was able to do an evangelistic campaign in Southeast Mexico. We had the wonderful opportunity to preach the Gospel around the cities of Villahermosa, Mérida, Cancun, and Campeche. Praise the Lord! Around 1,358 people trusted Christ as their Saviour! Of course, I was able to preach in several churches, as well as in a Bible institute and an exciting conference. Many great decisions were made for the Lord Jesus Christ, and I hope and pray they will result in a great harvest of souls.
I want to thank you for all your prayers for our son Michael, who is eight years of age now. Of course, many of you know he was diagnosed with autism. We are taking a natural approach to his treatment, with many vitamins, herbs, and supplements; and we are seeing some improvements. Please continue to lift Michael up to the Lord through your continual prayers for his overall health—physical, mental, and spiritual.
On January 8, my wife’s mom went to be with the Lord. She had been battling with cancer for years, but now she is in a place of no more hurt or pain or sorrow. We know she is having a wonderful time in Heaven with the Lord Jesus and also with friends, with loved ones, and with our precious little girl Alejandra, who was born on January 27, ten years ago. We praise the Lord for a wonderful place called Heaven where we will get to spend eternity with our precious loved ones. The Bible says, “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:18) Oh, praise the Lord for Heaven!
We love you all and appreciate all you do for us so very much. Please pray that God would use us in a greater way to see more souls saved for the glory and honor of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Yours for souls,
Darrell Ratcliff
