Dear Faithful Supporter,

Having experienced "April showers," we are now enjoying "May flowers." It is always a blessing to watch the cold of winter give way to the warmth of spring. As the trees and plants come back to life, I am reminded of the new life that comes through Christ. Missionary Jason Tate wrote about several people in Honduras who recently gave outward evidence of their salvation. I wanted to share their good news with you. Here is what Brother Tate wrote:

With the cold time of the year over, we are now able to focus on baptism follow ups. What a joy to see 12 follow the Lord in Believer's Baptism....A 66-year-old convert has struggled with severe arthritis for the past few years. She said, "Nothing is going to keep me from church today!" She was right! She was the first one into the water. We have also been praying for...a married lady whose husband wants to serve God. For years, this lady said she was saved but was unwilling to take that step. She came to the service ready to get into the water! Her husband...almost wept for joy!

The Tate family has been serving in Honduras with BIMI for many years and they are doing a wonderful job. In addition to the twelve that were baptized, Brother Tate also reported eight souls who were saved. What a blessing to see new life! Thank you for your faithful support of global missions so that missionaries like the Tates can fulfill God's calling for their lives. May the Lord richly bless you!

In Christ,
David H. Snyder
