Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ: May 2023
God is doing great things!
In January, we sent a container to the Philippines. I also delivered Scripture to four different churches located in my surrounding states.
In February, I helped get a new work started in Amelia Island, Florida. It is called Coastal Seedline. It is headed up by Ted and Tammy Lytle. I expect God to do some great things there. I am excited that they have opened their hearts to what God has for them to do! I also made several trips in February to Kansas to deliver and pick up completed Scriptures.
I returned to Florida to Grace Baptist Church in March. While there, we assembled 28,000 Scriptures; about 15,000 of those went to Costa Rica! I also went to Countryside Baptist Church in Hartshorn, Missouri, where they assembled another 22,000 Scriptures. I spent a lot of time driving in March, delivering and picking up Scriptures as well as driving to my nephew’s wedding. I put over 12,000 miles on the truck in March alone. It seemed like every week I was headed somewhere. God kept me safe and provided my needs!
While in South Carolina for my nephew’s wedding, I met a missionary named Samuel White. He and his family serve in Costa Rica. My family and I got out of the car at a Bible printing facility, and Brother White came up and said “Y’all must be Missionaries!” We had a good visit discussing that Bibles and Scriptures are needed everywhere. What a blessing to meet this brother.
Later that month while at Grace Baptist Church, Pastor Wilt told me that they were going on a mission trip to Costa Rica, and that they would be helping with the construction of a church building. I asked who they were going to help and as it turned out, it was brother White! Brother Wilt and I discussed ways that they could take as many Spanish John and Romans as possible on the trip. These Scriptures had been put together by the folks at Grace Baptist for their missionary. I mentioned to brother Wilt that I sure would like to go.
In April, I made several trips to Kansas to deliver Scriptures. While there, I picked up some pallet racks. These will be used as shelves for the pallets of Scripture stored in the Armory (the scripture distribution center). These were donated by an evangelist I met. I also delivered some needed equipment to Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Wichita, Kansas. This equipment came from Michigan. A big THANK YOU to Adam Wood for getting it to his work place, and storing it until I could retrieve it.
Talking Rock Road Baptist Church loaded two trailers that will be headed to Kingman, Georgia, with English Scripture totaling over 400,000. From Kingman, these Scriptures will be sent to the Philippines. Please pray for the Lord to arrange the time needed to deliver this material to Georgia.
While all this was going on I got a phone call from Grace Baptist Church asking if I still wanted to go to Costa Rica with them. By faith, I said YES! The expenses for most of the trip were covered, but I am still several hundred dollars short if you would like to help with that.
While there, we put up 125 sheets of sheet rock and taped and floated it. It is now ready for stucco. I also helped them with several welding projects.
Brother White has an amazing ministry there in Costa Rica. They have summer camps which draw many people from the surrounding countries. He is a second-generation missionary, and has been in Palmares over 20 years. Praise the Lord for missionaries like Brother White! If you are interested in his work, send me an e-mail, and I can give you some information.
Thank you for your prayers and support, Miles Wallis
