July 5, 2004 Dear Reader, In my last prayer letter I told you that the technician
said the MRI showed a growth on my left kidney but it look to be benign. It was, but there were also two more cist
on my right kidney. Both of them are
also benign, however one of them is hemorrhagic. After viewing the MRI the doctors have decided to monitor the
cist for another six months to see if they are growing. In the mean time, I am taking medicine
from Brazil that is supposed to make them go away. We are very relived that the cist were benign and appreciate
all your prays for me and my health. There are 48 students in two of the Cuba extensions that
are studying the Word of God every day.
The brethren there are very encouraging every time they write. They tell me that the response is
wonderful and the more the students learn the more they want to learn. One of the keys of getting the Video Bible
Courses into Cuba is getting them on DVD.
I have completed several courses and God has provided the material
(DVD’s, storage boxes, label, etc.) to complete the Spanish courses that we
have. We hope to have the remainder
of the courses transferred by the end of 2004. Exciting
things are also happening in Malawi.
Brother Makhusa found a man in Nsanje willing to sell him land to put
the Seminary on. He asks us to pray
that the Lord will provide the $300.00 he needs to buy the land. The brethren also traveled to several
areas, teaching the lay pastors, and holding evangelistic services. The Lord saved 121 people during these
services in Malawi and Mozambique.
Brother Yancey has started deputation preparing to go to Malawi. Dr. Houston, Bro. Yancey and I are praying
for God’s provision for our Malawi trip in November. In
September Maggie and I will complete 25 years of service for the Master. As I reflect back on these many years I
remember some of the hardships, that by God’s grace we endured, but the good
things, the souls saved, churches and seminaries started, the men trained,
and the many friends we’ve made, brings tears of joy. Our God IS a wonderful God. Thank you again for your prayers for my
health and our ministry. Together we
are building a bridge from our generation to the next, and from the church to
the lost in the regions beyond. Your
missionaries, Jimmy and Maggie Nelson |
