Dear brothers in Christ: 

                May God bless your lives and your families. This is my fifth report and God has been doing amazing things among His people and in my life too, bestowing His blessings upon His saints.  

                My dear brothers in Christ, I give thanks to God for your prayers and financial support too. We are seeing God’s hand in our lives and others’ and this encourages us in a tremendous way. I want to glorify my God for all His blessings and to thank my brothers at HeartCry and through this report I want to give my thanks and greetings to people who are offering through this ministry to us. My words aren’t enough to give thanks, but my Lord is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think or say, so unto Him be the Glory. In seeking His Glory we receive by mercy and grace a benefit according to the goodness of the One who shows mercy to whom He will show mercy. Praise be to God for such an indescribable love toward us!! I am astonished by our communion in the Lord. My prayers will be on your behalf and my Lord shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.            

                Our Bible institute started one month ago. Missionaries from HeartCry are attending as well as some members of our Church. Our brother Brad White taught the first class and then me and Brother Martin. We have been teaching the Doctrine of the Scriptures and it has been a tremendous blessing in my life, not only learning but also teaching. I was so afraid when Martin told me I was going to teach to pastors who know more about doctrine and Scriptures than me, but the Lord gave me the power and spirit to do it in humility and meekness, seeking the Lord’s direction and guidance that come through His Holy Spirit.  

                  I am so glad I have time to study and learn more about our Glorious God. I am enjoying a lot this time and please pray for wisdom from the Lord, especially for studying doctrine, sound doctrine. I was studying at a Bible institute in Argentina, but I never was taught and instructed in such doctrines and knowledge of the Lord.  

                 Brother Martin is going to start teaching the Doctrine of God this Tuesday, and I am longing to know more about my good God, to learn more about His attributes, His Being, and His perfections. What a beautiful study on God’s perfections and what goodness from our Lord to give us the privilege of knowing more about Him, being unworthy creatures. All this is by his grace, mercy and His pure love!!!  

                  Teaching about Scriptures was a challenge, but at the same time a privilege. I had studied this doctrine at the institute in Argentina just one month, but my classes were four days a week, not one. I realized through studying about the Scriptures how important is our conviction and understanding of his inerrancy, clarity, authority, sufficiency, necessity and veracity. And through these years we have failed in giving it the importance it deserves. How wrong I was and I am so repentant about that!! Most “Christians” acknowledge that the Bible is inspired by God, but through their behavior they deny its sufficiency and inerrancy in any issue, giving more credit to their own ideas instead of being sanctified in His Holy Word. They are ashamed of its words, eternal words, and substitute the eternal words for their own opinions and thoughts, denying His authority, obscuring His clarity and perverting His veracity. 

                   I continue teaching on the book of Hebrews on Saturday. I am so blessed through my own study through Holy Spirit of this perfect and beautiful book and I have to say that the youth are growing in grace, depending more on God and relying on Him. They are involved in Christ’s service through preaching the Gospel and through service to the saints in the Church. I am so glad to see this and I pray that God would give them complete reliance on God and in Christ’s righteousness, that they would trust only in Christ’s righteousness, not going after vanities, but after Christ, fixing their eyes on Him. Pleasures and the vanities of this world can distract them but my Lord will carry them on to perfection according to His perfect will, persevering and preserving His work in them, according to the Holy purpose for which He made them in Christ Jesus.  

                   My dear brothers pray for God to strengthen my life more and more through His Word and Holy Spirit. May the Son Of God receive the full reward for His suffering. 

         May our Lord and Savior bless your lives and your families. May God be praised and may His Name be glorified.  

         In Jesus Christ,

 Walter I.
