Dear Pastor & Church:

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

There are no words to express my gratitude unto you for all this time.  That even without receiving my new letter, you have maintained your faithfulness in giving yourself toward us in prayer and financially.

No doubt you have gone far from patience using your longsuffering on my behalf.

Please accept my apology and receive all this good news as follows:

Ourselves:  My wife Rosa and I are doing great in health, each day, more motivated for the Lord, knowing that His day is approaching.

Church:  Every day we thank God for His faithfulness.  People in church are growing in faith.  It is amazing to see Christians grow and see a difference in their past lives.  The greatest time is to see people being added to the church.  There are wonderful testimonies from men, women and youth that the Lord has saved and called to serve.

School:  The Christian Military Academy has only been two years in my hands and the Lord has prospered it to have 360 students.  It is a great ministry to educate these cadets into the word of God and the discipline that is involved in being a Christian.  It is a great ministry in the Christian Military Academy.  We use II Corinthians 10:3  “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  For the weapons of our warfare are not Carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

Cuba:  We are doing missionary work in Cuba there are 600 wonderful Christians that wait for me in July.  We have gone there before to minister to them but this time Fidel Castro is doing things that hinder our ministry.  Please pray for Pastor Columbie’ as he struggles in the country and for me that the Lord may open doors again.

Dominican Republic:  Our works in this country never cease.  I have preached many pastoral conferences and today I have the burden for Pastor Castro who is having great difficulties in his ministry.  Please remember him.

Thank you for using your longsuffering on my behalf and for the expressions of love through your faithful, faithful support.

                                                                                    Your happy missionaries,

                                                                        Ramon & Rosa Martinez Alvarez
