"CMM--Sowing the Gospel to the Spanish World"

Dear Friends:

The end of the year is fast approaching and I wanted to give you a quick overview of the ministry of CMM in 2007:

	Mission travel away from Greenville 113 days.
	Sixty-one different flights.
	Visited ten countries.
	Distributed about 50,000 Spanish Bible Story CDs.
	Sowing the gospel to as many as 250,000 people based on our five-listeners-per-CD scenario.

Upcoming opportunities:

	Duplicating 50,000 CDs for 2008.
	Working on a Portuguese translation that will be distributed all over Brazil, a country of about 186 million people. All of Spanish Central and South America totals about 300 million.
	Discovered that fourteen different Central and South American countries will celebrate their 200^th year of independence in the next twenty years. Lord willing, my goal is to be in each country with the gospel during its year of celebration.

Would you please consider the following?

	Pray for the convicting power of the Holy Spirit upon those who have heard the gospel in 2007.
	Pray about YOU going along in 2008 or 2009. Ecuador is the first country to celebrate independence (2009).
	Pray for God to continue supplying the financial needs of this ministry.

I trust you will enjoy the glory of Christ during this Christmas season and rest in Christ as the new year approaches. In 2007, Pastor Bonadies encouraged the folks at Suber Road Baptist Church to pick a Book from Scriptures and read it carefully over the year. I chose the Gospel of Mark, and the Lord has taught me many timeless truths from His Word this past year.

If I could give any gift to you, it would be the gift of joy I received from following Pastor's advice. The Book of Mark has exploded before me, with the main theme in Mark 8:34-35. I would joyfully echo our pastor's challenge to you. Pick a Book in 2008 and watch God do great and mighty things in your life through His Word.

Thank you for your prayers and support of Comforting Mercies Ministries. May the Lord richly bless you in the coming year.

CMM is a 501(c)(3) organization.
