Speaking of BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS...

My 1996 Aerostar (150,000 miles) is empty of seats, but loaded front to back, top to bottom for a trip to Mexico next week. I will have 400+ bags with presents and money for each BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS. Those bags have very carefully and lovingly been filled by people from several churches all throughout the midwest. THANK YOU! Some containers will stay with the Friends churches in the north, and the rest I will ship to Mexico City. Those local churches will host parties, feed unchurched children and their parents and present the Gospel in some creative way.

Samuel Vasquez and his family (above) from Agujita in the state of Coahuila will host me for a day and help me ship crates to Mexico City. I will also share with a growing men's ministry and perhaps sing and/or teach a new song in Creole!

My wonderful friends and church planting pastors in Mexico City (above David Martinez and family; below Ramiro Martinez and family pet Roby) will receive the bags and then distribute them at several locations in January, the traditional time there for presenting such gifts.

In January, I hope to travel to Mexico City to take part in the BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS with Gary Wright and World Renewal Mexico Representative Jim Flood, and assist in a training seminar.

YOU CAN HELP. Travel funds for both these trips into Mexico are "lacking." I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE any help you could give. Any extra monies will go towards travel to Haiti in coming months.

Please consider doing three things:

1) Pray for my safety and travel.

2) Send a financial gift to help me deliver BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS bags/trunks, and to make the January training trip.

World Renewal International Box 399 Greenfield, Indiana 46140. Write a note designating it for Frank's travel.

3) Send me an email if you intend to respond to either request. I would especially love to hear that you are praying for me as I travel, for those loving gifts as they are given, and for each child who will receive something special for Christmas...and at the same time hear about the reason Jesus came. hereinks@yahoo.com

THANKS! GOD BLESS YOU!! HAVE A WONDER-FILLED CHRISTMAS!!!

One more thing.

Below is a video we took last spring in Haiti. The place where they are singing was under 10-12 feet of water on September 1. Unfortunately, the backpacks and their contents were most likely washed away in the hurricane and flood, but thank the Lord each and every child was safe. And we have no doubt that many times since they have praised him in the same way you see here.
