Dear Colaborers In Christ, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar.\u201d (Romans 3:2&3) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, \u201cThere is no wisdom nor understanding, nor counsel against the Lord\u201d (Prov. 21:30) so \u201che will laugh and have in derision\u201d the many Cocopah Teens who recently rejected our \u201cintolerant Gospel\u201d and openly flaunted their vile, short-lived, decadent lifestyles. (Psalm 2:4). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any ambiguity about the dreadful consequences of embracing false spirits and sensual relationships over the true loving Savior disappears when one considers four Cocopah deaths and four near-death hospitalizations for mostly under 40 year olds since February\u2019s casino payout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is equally no doubt also as to the import of your prayers or the power of the Gospel, as all of these were saved Natives with most of their health crises coming from substance abuse prior to their conversions to Christ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We earnestly trust this glimpse of our Lord\u2019s recent increase will reward you in knowing your prayers are \u201cmaking a difference with compassion\u201d on some and in \u201chelping save others with fear.\u201d (Jude 22,23). We couldn\u2019t be more dependent on or thankful for your sacrifices and prayers for liberty, God\u2019s fruit, victory, and safety throughout dangerous but opportune summer ministries ( II Thess. 3:1-3). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
