UPDATED: Prayer Request for Bro. Bob Willard's father

Many of you received our email yesterday requesting prayer for Bro. Bob Willard's father who had suffered a possible stroke:

1st update (yesterday afternoon)

I just recieved a call from a precious friend of mine from Arizona(Bro. Bob Willard) who asked for me
to remember his father in prayer, who is now being taken to the hospital and it looks like may be having a stroke.
I am asking for you to please join with me in prayer for Bro. Bob's father.
I understand the pain of a parent being in such a serious condition.
Please join with me in prayer for our God to intervene for his father.
Thank you in advance for you burden and concern for him. God Bless you all!

2nd update (this morning):

I want to thank you all for your prayers. Last night I received a call from Bro. Bob informing me that the
stroke did not affect his father in any way. They did find that he does have a 75% blockage in his
main artery (neck) that goes to his brain. They will be doing some kind of surgery for that (possibly a stent) today.
Again, thank you all for your prayers and please continue to remember him.

Final Update (this evening):

I wanted to write and give you a final update and thank you all once again for your prayers.
A few moments ago I received a call from Bro. Bob Willard at the hospital in California with his father.
He called me and said six doctors were just in his father's room and they all said to him and the family,
"We apologize but we do not have an answer to why this has happened, but we cannot find anything
wrong with you." They said they wanted to keep him overnight for observation but again apologized
for not having an answer but they cannot find anything wrong. Bro. Bob said, "Bro. Luke I think I was
the only one in the room that understood that when God does something it doesn't have to be explained."
Again, thank you all for your prayers. I am once again reminded of what Jesus said in John 14:14
"If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it". God Bless you all!

Sincerely,
Luke Gibson Sr., Pastor

Easter Meetings in Cuautitlan Izcalli, México

We had another great time in the Lord while we were in Mexico for Easter services. We always consider it a blessing and a privledge to be among the Bride of Christ in Mexico. There were great results again this year, on Sunday 11 believers were baptized in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I trust that the Lord will bless Bro. Francisco and his congregation for all their efforts to make these meetings a success. I also pray the Lord will bless the translators, Bro. Adolfo Mata from Texas and Bro. Albert from Cuautitlan Izcalli, who poured their hearts into translating from English to Spanish and vice versa. May God bless each of you for your prayers and may He continue to be with the congregations and the pastors that supported the meeting in Mexico.

Here are the links to the English services:

He is Risen

The Garden Tomb, Israel


Now, the very essence of the Message that was sent that, "He is risen from the dead," we, His beneficiaries, we, who share the resurrection with Him, draw benefits from this by proving to the world that He is alive. We cannot do it by word only; we cannot do it by some tradition of man; we only reflect exactly what we're pointing to.
I'm afraid today that too many of us are not getting people to Christ. We're getting them to a church, to a theory, but we must get them to Christ. He is the only One, and the only One that has Life. "He that has the Son, has Life."

"And out of death comes life. Out of the death of Christ come the resurrection of Life."
