Dear Ministry Partners and Friends,
So far, I have visited two cities this year, and God wasted no time showing that He’s alive– saving
and transforming lives. ”The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, pray
earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38
A quick recap of the first 4 weeks of 2025…
● 31 people have made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior
● 1 in Tyler, 16 in Dallas, and 14 in Austin
● 2 people have been baptized
● 1 person in Austin moved into permanent housing
● 1 person in Dallas has entered a long-term recovery program
MY LATEST TRIP
This month, I spent 4 days in Dallas, then 4 days in Austin, seeing results that seem almost
miraculous. Traveling by train offers me great opportunities with a “captive audience.” It has
proved to be an excellent environment in which to sow seeds and carry water. I like to think that
these “results” are attributed to MY being “more comfortable” in approaching strangers in these
cities; but, I know in my heart that it is nothing but GOD placing people in my “path” and my having
the willingness, thanks to HIM, to share the glorious gift of salvation which leads to true peace.
I also had the privilege to return to Dallas for an evening to teach Living Jesus Out Loud, a
curriculum designed to empower and engage Brothers and Sisters in Christ to proclaim the Gospel
in their daily lives. I was so pleased that this men’s group invited me, and I thoroughly enjoyed being
treated to a delicious pot-luck dinner.
It’s very evident that these Mission Trips are successful even if the only metric used is God’s
harvest.
UPCOMING MISSIONARY TRIPS
My travel schedule for 2025 has been completed, and it is the plan to be “on the road” 113 days
this year. Over the next few months, I will be in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and New Orleans. As
you can imagine, the largest expense of the ministry is travel and lodging for these Mission Trips.
Our budget for Mission Trips in 2025 is $22,850. Any financial support you can give towards these
trips is greatly needed and appreciated. Additionally, I ask for your prayers. Specifically, I pray that each and every person I encounter will be receptive and that their lives may be transformed.\
I want to thank each of you for allowing me to take part in the growth of the Kingdom. None of
this would be possible without the support of people like you, through prayer and financial
resources.
Your Brother in Christ,
Eric
