Andrew Young, our grandson, just had his 6th birthday. We love him very much and wanted him to know that we are so very proud of him. Actually Andrew was born on February 29th so he doesn’t get many birthdays on his actual date. I am late posting this but not late in loving this little man.

Andrew has one of the sweetest spirits of any one that you will ever meet. He is kind and gentle. He is of course adorable but then what do you want a grandparent to think.

Andrew, Grandmama and I couldn’t be with you on your birthday but we can’t wait to see you and tell you just how much we love you. You are turning into a very fine young man and we are very proud of you.

See you soon!

Vision Baptist Church
ATLANTA.-

It is a privilege to be able to address you, to thank you for your prayers, knowing about your love towards the work for God.

Last month God blessed us with a lot of visitors in both churches Smyrna and Hunter. At Smyrna we had a special day on Sunday Feb. 14th in the morning for we had the Wedding Vows Renovation. We had 199 people, including 23 guests. At Hunter that same day we had 190 people attending at night. There were almost 40 couples in whole, the ones who renewed their Wedding Vows between Smyrna and Hunter Churches.

At Hunter we had the Summer Biblical School every Sunday, having close to 100 kids each week, we also had lots of visitors and many decisions towards salvation. I thank Pastor Miguel Mego for all his work, together with the teachers of the Sunday school.

Form the 8th to the 12th of February we had a youth camp at Ite, closet o the port of Ilo, 80 people attended, between Hunter and Smyrna Churches. There went two of our youngster’s Pastors: Alfredo Pari (Hunter) and Alan Chujutalli (Smyrna). They did a great job!

At mid February one of our College students (Richard Quecara) from Hunter came back from the capital Lima, who was helping a church in Surquillo. Lima. He needs to go throw many medical examinations. We ask for your prayers for his health.

On February 15th, a group of six people between students and former students of our college, including Alfredo Pari, Elio Hilares and Shirley Chavez, from Hunter Church .left to La Paz – Bolivia. They were a blessing those two weeks there, because Alfredo preached in many churches and Shirley helped teaching children, many of them accepted Jesus as their Savior.

On Friday, February 19th and Saturday 20th we had a retreat in Camana beach for the youngsters at Smyrna, where 27 of us attended. I was able to share with them some topics regarding team work and the difference between the children of the light and the children of the darkness besides, having a great time together.

On Sunday 28th we had our first service in the new church Berea, where a total of 22 attended . The services there will be at 3:00 pm, and in between the week on Tuesdays, at 7:00 pm.

We ask for your prayers for our plans for March:
- Official start of classes at our Christian School, March 1st.
- Classes for Pastor son March 2nd and 3rd, at our College
- Start of classes at the institute and College, on Monday March 15th and Tuesday 16th respectively.
- At Hunter we will talk about a” Contagious Church: The Thrill of sharing The Gospel”.
- At Smyrna we will talk about “Family over the Rock: Can I have a good family?”
- Our trip to Ayacucho, to preach at Baptist Church Libertad, from March 9th to March 11th.

I would also like to ask for your prayers for the mother of our co-pastor of Hunter, Brother Luis Navarro. She was detected Cancer at the cervical vertebrates and has started her treatment of radio-therapy. Please help us with a prayer for his family as well.

I thank God for the loyalty of each one of you. May God bless you and keep you well.

Proverbs 2:3-5 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

The main reason so few of us get much from our Bibles is the attitude that we have when we approach the Bible. Notice in these verses that we are to seek after, cry after knowledge and understanding.

We are to come to the Bible with a real desire to understand God and know more what He has for our lives.

What would happen if we cried after Him, His Word, knowledge, and understanding like men cry after silver or like they search for hid treasure.

You must dig into the Word of God. A flippant reading even if you do so daily will not bring you much understanding, knowledge, or growth.

Cry after, dig, seek, search until you get something from the Word of God.
