Prayer Letter for David and Tule Cox in Mexico City

January 2021

Update on where we are

We went up to the states (Orlando FL) in October and processed Tule’s Green Card renewal as well as her naturalization papers. They are processing which should take from 7 months to 2 years. We returned to Mexico at the end of December. We have not missed any of our services while in the states (which are via Zoom). We got a notice from immigration that everything is taking more time because of Covid 19. We have permission to leave the country for work purposes (missionary work) in Mexico while her papers are in process but only until October of this year. We will have to go back up sometime in the next few months again when Immigration wants her for her photo and fingerprints. Please pray for this next visit we are going to have to make. I am not sure what rules will finally be place when we have to go, but it looks like we will have to have a Covid 19 test a few days or week before we fly out, and maybe even a certificate of vaccination, which we haven’t gotten yet.

Our Church

We continue with services in Zoom. I am wanting to start a Bible school or institute via the Internet also, but life seems exceedingly difficult to just get the minimal of things done. Both Tule and I continue to have health problems, sneezing, coughing, and headaches. Maybe hay fever or something. But they come and go all in less than a half hour, and then we are fine for weeks afterward. Finding a doctor these days would be difficult. Hospitals are turning away Covid patients, and doctors are telling patients to do home care if possible. Non-Covid illnesses are not being treated except kind of “on the black market” very rarely.

We continue to pray as a group for our evangelism outreach. Antonio is a high school teacher, and he led two young boys to the Lord. I believe they are his relatives somehow. Although I am not going out passing out tracts myself (I have diabetes, high blood pressure), some of our people have taken it on themselves to do so. Juan had Covid and is now recovered and is returning to his taxi and giving out our tracts to his passengers. Silvia is also going out in front of a government clinic that has long lines of people waiting, and she is giving out tracts to people in the lines. Martha and a Christian friend of Maria de la Luz both are giving out our tracts at their stores at the checkout counter. Maria de la Luz is giving them to her friend who has a tortilla store to give to their clients, and Marta has a small convenience store doing the same. So, I am directing our people who are not leaving their houses to pray regularly for those who are getting the gospel out. Prayer is extremely necessary for people to respond to the Gospel call. Please pray with us.

I would ask that you please pray with us that God would provide for us and for those who support and pray for us, that they have the wherewithal to continue. We pray for our supporters every night. Please pray with us that our regular monthly would maintain itself. Pray that our financial supporters can continue to send their monthly support. We ask special prayer for that.

Easter

My Tracts on Church Attendance The first and foremost reason to go to church is because God commands us to do so (Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.).
Coming in behind that direct command of God, we go to church in order to worship God Himself. How? Simple. We hear the Word of God actually read and carefully explained, and then we assimilate those principles y exhortations into our personal lives, and that is worship. Without those elements, there is no worship, and there is no success at "going to church." It is fruitless spiritually, and without spiritual benefit to your life, you will get discouraged and stop going, stop being committed to it, and it will ruin your life because you are a hypocrite.

Buy me a Cup of Coffee! To make an old Christian work into a PDF, a module for theWord, MySword, or eSword takes time. These works are scans from old books, and as such, I have to go through the text some dozen times looking for places where the OCR is incorrect, blurred, or just skipped something.

Text Editing.Then there are the old Bible references like John iii. 16. Many young Christians and even preachers do not know the Latin system for books of the Bible. I convert Roman numerals in these books to Arabic (iii. to 3).

I have had to invest days and days in writing macros to read a long text, and make substitutions (for the above, search for "iii" and replace with "3:"). Unfortunately, with Psalms you have to start with 150 in Roman numerals (CL) and work your way backwards. But using macros, it is almost instantaneous the next time I need this. Work smarter, not harder. All this takes time and patience, (and being smart enough to do it in a macro language) (as well as a lot of coffee) and then making the text into theWord or eSword, mySword or a PDF.

Please donate something to me once every 6 months or even once a year, even if it is only $5, so that I can pay my bills for hosting, and also keep things moving along. It costs me about $10 per month to keep a website on the Internet. My websites also contains ads which have links to my sermons, tracts, books, that I have written. These keep my works before visitors, even if they are not visiting the specific website where I have them stored. It is my own "web" internally of my own sites with links to good Christian literature. May God bless for your prayers and donations.

Take a look at a few of our tracts:
salv76 suffering should seek his Savior - explains how we should react to problems and sufferings, we should seek the Savior.
pc15 How to fight against depression - we treat the problem of depression. Depression is not a physical disease, it is an emotional and spiritual disease that "bleeds over" and causes aggravation and physical consequences if not attended to at the spiritual-social-emotional level.
ch15 Congregating because we Love - a tract about why we attend church. Our relationship with our brethren in Christ is highly integrated with our salvation and our sanctification.
SSTeen1-01 Existence of God - Does God really exist? This is not a tract but a teen Sunday School Class that I wrote answering this important question.
fam48 Men are God's Agents - Men are God’s Agents to accomplish His Will, looks at man as God wants him to be. Manhood and the husband-wife relationship.

Donate to Keep this Site Up

Most people buy a cup of coffee many times during a year. I spend my time and money writing good doctrinal content, and I am finding and formatting good old books for the Christian public to use in their studying the Bible. I have Bible college degrees where I have studied Greek and Hebrew. I have had donations over the years, but usually it is very little, like once every 6 months to once a year sometimes. One of my sites (I have 34 sites, about half are in English and the rest in Spanish) costs me about $10/month per site. Because the rent for having these sites on the Internet comes due every month, I have to pay it out of what me and my wife have to pay rent and food. Please consider a donation of any amount. Just a donation of the price of a cup of coffee can greatly help us with these costs and assure that new material is always coming.
