Many of you have written and asked how we are and we appreciate your concern and your prayers. We are doing fine and have been here in Mexico for a couple of months. Alisha, Jonathon, Levi, and Caleb were here with us for a month with Teresia’s Mom and Aunt. We are now alone in the house and getting some much needed rest. We have been busy with an ordination service for Alex Martinez, a special service at Trinity Baptist Church and a Marriage Conference at Peniel Baptist Church. Tim’s blood pressure and cholesterol are in good shape and he is trying to know his body and how it is responding to different situations.]]>
Greetings from the Hendricks’ family. We are writing at this time of year to offer our sincere prayers that each and every one of you have enjoyed the Christmas holiday and are prayerfully considering what God’s will for you might be for this year.
We are in New Mexico enjoying Michael and his family including our new granddaughter; Lilly Kate. She is beautiful and was born on December 14th. We will be returning to Alabama beginning tomorrow to be with Ashley and her new baby girl; Anastasia Kathrine who was born on December 20th. Then back to Mexico for the semester’s Bible Institute Classes. We will be teaching Bible Geography in both places where we hold the classes. Pray with us that God will bring the students He desires for this semester.
The Calvary Baptist Church; La Iglesia Bautista Calvario, is doing well this year. Our faithful have remained so and we have had some great opportunities to witness to many others. Two ladies have been saved and after a witness with one gentleman he said, “I think you could teach something”. He is a hard man with many ties to bad people in the past but is very concerned with his teenage daughters. Pray that God will continue to work in his life and in all that the people we have had the opportunity to speak to of the truth of salvation.
After returning to Mexico at the end of our last year-long furlough in 2008 we have tried to do some travelling in the summer between semesters. It has become evident that we have not visited all of our churches and with a great need to do some deputation-style meetings we have decided to spend a year in the states beginning in June 2014.
We thank God for all of you who have supported us for all of these years and we desire to be with all of you in the next year. Many of you know that we surrendered to missions in 1986 and have been active on the field since 1990. We would love to share that experience with you in mission’s conferences, Sunday meetings, and/or mid-week services. We have actually two presentations that explain our ministry and then our practice. We would appreciate your consideration.
We will be seeking new churches also to present our ministry for support. Pray with us that God would open these doors. If any would forward us recommendations we would be most grateful. Because of our years in Spanish we would also enter in churches in Spanish. Our heart’s desire is to forward the idea of church-planting around the world. Many of you know that we have entered into established churches and taught them of their responsibility to not only reach their Jerusalem and the uttermost part of the world, but to also reach their Samaria and Judea. The Lord has blessed this ministry and we would be very glad to present this truths with any here in the States.
We truly pray that God will greatly bless you and your church in this new year. Pray for us as we make our plans and begin our travel in 2014.

Greetings from the beautiful country of Mexico with the temperature hovering around 75 degrees. The Hendricks family has had a good Christmas season and are enjoying the blessing of God. I have waited until now to send an end of the year report in part because of the challenges that I have had with the email server and in part because of some of the changes that we are seeing here in San Pancho.
We are thrilled to announce that Ben and Amanda are here for a period of six months in order for Ben to learn the language. They still are praying that God would supply all of the monies needed to stay that long and it is really important that they do so that the language will not only be learned but have time to stick. Ben is working hard, the kids are enjoying the yard, and we are enjoying Amanda’s company.
Teresia and I wanted to send a very heart-felt thank you to many of you who have helped with the finances of her surgery. She is doing great after surgery and we are seeing a steady improvement in her overall health. The entire amount was covered although they kept her an additional day. There was even some to continue allowing Teresia to see the doctor as she seeks to improve her overall health. Please continue to pray for us as we work here in Mexico and seek to please Him with our lives and our work.
The Misión Bautista Calvario is steady and we praise the Lord for the work that He is doing here in San Pancho. We have been visiting with some of the people who have attended with us in the past and by God’s grace get them back in the services. We have found a place to rent for the services and are trusting God to bring in the money. The cost is $200.00 a month which will be $2,400.00 for the year. It is a large place with two bathrooms. It is a second floor building on the main street of San Pancho. It is very visible and would be easily found. I am truly excited about this place and pray that the contract can be made soon. The mission has collected enough for the first month.
We will be using it also for the Institute classes offered here in San Pancho on Mondays. The classes on the south side of town will continue to be held there. We have learned that there will be a new family there. We will be starting classes in the next two weeks. Ben will be helping with some classes on choir and music in general. Our prayer is that as Ben is here more and more in the years to come our classes offered will grow and the student body will expand. Please pray with us that God would supply the need on all fronts and that His work here in Aguascalientes will prosper.
We are blessed to have been called of God and given the chance to serve this year here in San Francisco de los Romo, AGS. We have seen the blessings of God as well as the attacks of Satan this year and we are glad to give testimony that God has remained faithful to us and sustained us. We want to thank all of you for the part that you played in this great endeavor and trust that God has blessed and sustained you in His work. May God bless you in this new year and grant you open doors in His service and victory in His work.
In His Service
Tim and Teresia Hendricks
