Report from Rody Gumpad

Dear Brother Ron,
        Thank you very much for your encouraging message! Thanks also for letting me know that you get my last update report. I will continue to send you my reports. Please do continue also sending email/bulletins to me. I cannot maybe reply you immediately and always but I am listening! Yes, it is a big blow that I lost my support from the Church there and then $100.00 support also from the Church at Mauriceville, Texas, because they need to buy a lot where they will construct a bigger meeting place for them! I will see that I can continue all my works especially the effort for the Local Metro Church, my daily Radio and TV shows because it is very effective, but I maybe cut some of my outside/traveling schedules of Bible lectures and Gospel meetings (I am spending $500. to $600.00 a month just for gas and outside preaching expenses)! So many of our Radio listeners are inviting me to go personally and preach more to them, local Congregations are also inviting me to hold Bible Lectures/Gospel meetings to them!
        Yes, we cannot forget you and sister Kathleen! You both are already part in our family, especially every time that we see and talk with our daughter-Kathleen who was named after our dear sister Kathleen Drumm! You maybe not know but that is a very especial to me and Tessie and the whole family! Our sincere thanks also for the good Church there for their support for many years to me! God knows that we do not have all the success that we now have and the work here in the region if it was not by your love and support to me! Thank you for your trust & confidence to me!  Million thanks if ye can include me again in your budget in the future if you have the chance & opportunity! The work here at Metro Church is growing but we cannot see that we can attain our desire to be self-supporting soon because our brethren are financially poor, jobless and many are sickly, so we are still very far to our dream! But we will continue do what we can and we trust that God will be with us! I will close for now and get ready for my Radio Preaching today! May God bless you and your family and all the brethren there at Henderson Boulevard! We love you all! Happy holiday and advance Happy New Year!
