       March 28-29,  6th Annual Hispanic Preaching Conference

          

          

April 27 - Mission Club Fellowship with Missionaries
                 Philip & Diann Whisnand

The Whisnands are common people serving God in an uncommon place. Most Christians would never consider trying to reach people with the gospel at a horse race track. The gambling that goes on at the race track has kept most Christians away from doing evangelism and mission there. However, there are thousands of people not involved in the gambling that care for the horses. Often these people work and live in the stable area isolated from contact with Christians or churches. The Wisnands work as missionaries to those working at the racetracks. Many they minister to are Hispanics an often they are here as undocumented workers. Come and hear how the Whisnands do mission to reach lost people in an area that most people would consider off bounds for sharing the Gospel.

Come enjoy the food, fellowship, and conversation with the Whisnands

The fellowships will be a come and go meeting at the home of Rick & Janie McClachy, 24611 Long Arrow, San Antonio. If you need transportation call Rick McClatchy at 210-488-8169 by April 24.

Under the theme, “Faith, Science, and Ethics,” the 2008 statewide Christian Life Conference, meeting at
El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel San Antonio, will provide helpful and hopeful insights regarding appropriate and constructive relationships between faith and science and critical ethical issues upon which these relationships weigh heavily.  For more information about speakers and schedule go to the website by clicking the banner above. You will find a number of gifted leaders who will help us find our way through the challenging, but immensely rewarding conversation between faith, science, and ethics.

u    One of our students, Darryl Crooms would like to thank you for your prayers for his son who had an accident on his mini-cycle this month. He suffered several bad bruises and they thought he had a broken hip or femur bone. He lost some major skin on both of his arms and a couple places on his hip. He is recuperating fast, he is going to school and he is doing much better.

u    Brother René Maciel asked for our prayers for his father in law, Darwin Dunham. He had some medical test and they found cancer. He is in a better condition but he has to go through chemo this week.

u    One of our alumni, Ruben Guerrero, graduated from HBTS in 1977.  He has been diagnosed with cancer.  He is now in hospice.  He is at home in Mesquite, Texas.  He is in good spirits, very “uncomfortable” but thanking God for coming to HBTS especially because this is where he and his wife, Martha, followed God’s call to missions.  Ruben and Martha have served in many Latin American countries and lastly with Samaritan’s Purse with Franklin Graham.  If anyone wishes to contact Ruben or Martha, they may do so by calling their home at 972-686-6011.

u    One of our students, Pablo Hernandez, is asking our prayers for his parents. His dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer and it’s already in the advanced stages. They are planning surgery to remove his stomach, but they are not sure if it’s going to be enough to remove the entire cancer. Brother Pablo is asking us to pray for his mom and dad, as they pass through this difficult time.

u    Brother John David Hopper has congestive heart failure, and his heart is working at about 30%. He is weak, but he is able to move around the house and receive visitors. The praise is that the fluid is finally gone, and he is able to breathe much easier. We need to continue to pray for him and Joann.
