Each month we continue to send to Mexico the funds we have obligated to provide. By giving up our rented house in Matehuala, additional funds will be available for Ministry activities. Also, it is a relief not having the pressure of maintaining and protecting it from break-ins. This will free us from the necessity to travel to Mexico on scheduled dates, but will allow us to return as we desire. Our overall plans are to travel to Mexico at least once a year, but for shorter periods of time each trip.
We would encourage prayers for the Christian community as well as the general population for their protection and well being. The adverse acts of war between the police, drug cartel and the army makes life very dangerous and unpredictable.

We meet our committed obligations each month in Mexico. We made our 50th trip to Mexico, starting the 29th of January and ended a couple weeks later. While in Matehuala we dispersed all our household items and gave up our rent house. This will allow us more latitude in planning future trips to Mexico and ease the responsibility of keeping someone in the house to prevent break-ins. Also, this will allow a larger proportion of our funds to go directly to the missionaries.

We are very thankful for the year that we had in 2009. In spite of the difficult economic times, our donations still increased. We are gradually reducing our miscellaneous expenses and increasing the funds going directly to the missionaries. We are giving up the house we have rented in Matehuala. We will continue to go to Mexico, as long as our health permits, but will make them shorter in length. We will stay with friends or motels while distributing any supplies we are able to take.
We ask for your prayers that our donated funds will be sufficient to provide funds for the missionaries. Also for our safety while traveling in Mexico.

As we prepare to close out another year, we want to thank all our faithful supporters. We were able to provide small Christmas Love gifts to the missionaries this year. We hope that through the coming year we will be able to maintain our normal support levels with all the missionaries. Our prayers are that the funds would increase which we could pass on the the missionaries in the field. They are all really struggling financially.

To all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year filled with the Lords Blessings.

Most of the missionaries, we support, are experiencing renewed growth in many areas of their individual ministries.

We continue to ask for your prayers for their personal safety and that God would enhance each of their ministries.

Even though we did not make our normal spring trip to Mexico, we still were able to send the funds for the Missionaries and needy families we support. Several of the missionaries are normally provided with supplies we transport to Mexico each trip. Since we missed this years spring trip, we are increasing their support to compensate.
We hope to be able to return to Mexico this fall. We ask for your prayers that the current problems with the Flu and Drug Cartels will be lessened.

We just returned from our 49th trip to Mexico, being the shortest trip we have made. Because of the adverse "war" activities we thought it best to not travel into Mexico. We did have to turn in our personal and vehicle papers before they expired. We were able to visit the Bible school just across the border about 10 miles and visit with several of the staff and students that we help.
If additional funds permit, we hope to be able to increase the monthly support of some of the missionaries we help. By not going into Mexico, we were not able to transport any of the needed supplies that we normally would have taken.
Anyone that would desire to provide additional funds on a monthly basis would certainly be a blessing to the missionaries. Contact us at dlhedges@juno.com and we will make the necessary arrangements to get the funds distributed.

We are proud to announce the addition of William Hernandez to our Ministry. He is 24 years old and from Tabasco, Mexico. He presently lives at the Bible School near Matamoros. In July he took a linguistics course in San Luis Potosi. This was a summer course given by Wycliffe bible translators. He feels the call of the Lord to assist in providing the Gospel to people groups that presently have no scriptures in their own language.
Between now and next September, he will finish his Bible School work and also on weekends finish his last year of High School. At that time he will be able to go to Lima, Peru and pursue the next part of his training. This training will consist of: linguistics training in Phonics, Semitics and Pragmatic Syntax, Linguistic Social, Writing Systems, Field methods, Program Planning, and How to write an alphabet. He will study in Lima for one year and then be assigned a people group to work with at translating the bible into their language.
He realizes that this vision is enormous and costly, but he is desiring to trust and to follow the calling the Lord has put in his heart.
If you would desire to be a long term partner with William, let us know and we will take care of the details. You can contact us at: dlhedges@juno.com

Each month we send to the missionaries & others that we have committed support to. In December of each year we re-evaluate the performance of each missionary in conjunction with our available support income. Right now it is looking like we will add one new missionary to our support base. Otherwise we hope to only have to make a very minor change or two. Our prayer is that the Lord will continue to be faithful and will give the missionaries favor in each of their ministries.
If you would desire to be an active part in our ministry, or to individually help support a particular missionary, let us know. You can contact us at our E-mail address: dlhedges@juno.com Any support and particularly your prayers will certainly be appreciated.
