2011-01 Cox Prayer Update

2011 Jan­u­ary Cox Prayer Letter

This entry is part 1 of 7 in the series Prayer Updates

We would like to thank those who con­tin­u­ally pray for us, and uphold us before the Lord. Over the past month and a half, we have heard news of some 4 churches that are hav­ing great prob­lems here in Mex­ico. We thank God for the peace that is in our church. It is your prayers that pro­tect us from Satan’s attacks.

We would ask that you please pray about sev­eral sit­u­a­tions. First of all, we have a fam­ily in the church where the man has come very sel­dom, and now he has left his wife, and prob­a­bly will not return ever. We ask that you pray for his sal­va­tion. We think he has links with very wicked peo­ple in the orga­nized crime and drugs. He was involved in the holy death cult (Santa Muerte) and has a tat­too of Satan on his arm. We would ask that you pray for Gonzalo’s  salvation.

One of our sin­gle moms has a son, Fer­nando, and he like­wise is hav­ing severe prob­lems. He has dropped out of church some time back, and now he has run away from home. He came back, but he doesn’t want to go to school, work in his mom’s store, nor do any­thing but lis­ten to Rock and Roll and run around with his friends. His ambi­tion in life is to be a drug traf­ficker! Please pray for his salvation.

We also would ask that you would pray for Mary, the wife of one our men. She is Pen­te­costal, and she is very unsta­ble, and it looks like she is push­ing her mar­riage towards a divorce, so please pray for her.

We would also ask for your prayers about our church build­ing. We are rent­ing a place now, and was rent­ing just for Sun­day 2 hours the place in front, and they have rented that to some­body else. We would ask your prayers that God would open a bet­ter place for us, or work what­ever is His will.

I have been very sick with the flu for the last month, and tak­ing antibi­otics. I just about have got­ten over that, but please pray that I don’t have a relapse.

In Christ,
David Cox

Deputation services Sept 2010

Well, we are vis­it­ing some of our sup­port­ing churches this month. It is dif­fi­cult to see the gen­eral reli­gious apa­thy in the states with­out being sad. God has blessed the US because of their turn­ing to Him, and that inter­est in God is now gone, and the bless­ing is leav­ing us also.  I seri­ous doubt that with another 20 or 40 years that there will be churches send­ing out mis­sion­ar­ies from the United States. The youth espe­cially are just not inter­ested in God.

God con­tin­ues to pro­vide for our needs, and our church in Mex­ico is going well with our men preach­ing in my absence. Please con­tinue to pray for them and us.

2010-07 Cox Prayer Update

2010 July Cox Prayer Letter

I am try­ing to get together two The­Word video pre­sen­ta­tions as well as mak­ing a DVD of the pro­gram and mod­ules in Eng­lish and another in Span­ish. So I am really busy.

Spe­cific mod­ules that I am work­ing on right now are:

Trea­sury of Scrip­ture Knowl­edge TSK in Span­ish. I am work­ing my way through the New Tes­ta­ment part trans­lat­ing verse ref­er­ences and text into Span­ish. The verse ref­er­ences part I have a Microsoft Word macro, and it runs in less than a sec­ond. But I have to copy and paste from TW to MS Word for every verse. I also have macros to help do this, but it is time con­sum­ing. I have Matthew done, and am work­ing my way through Mark (July 7).

Pul­pit Com­men­tary in Eng­lish. I am work­ing my way through the Pul­pit Com­men­tary also. My source for this has each chap­ter together, so I have the entire NT and most of the OT in the mod­ule, but only by chap­ters. I am copy­ing the chap­ter infor­ma­tion and break­ing it up into indi­vid­ual verses. This also is time con­sum­ing, but it is the best com­men­tary I have seen out there, and I want to use it for a source when I write my own com­men­tary. I will prob­a­bly be work­ing on my Span­ish com­men­tary in the book of John because that is what our men are preach­ing through in my church while we will be in the states vis­it­ing churches.
