We’ll work till Jesus comes …
“When will the moment come, When I shall lay my armor by, And
dwell in peace at Home? We'll work till Jesus comes, We'll work till
Jesus comes, We'll work till Jesus comes, And then we're gathered
Home!”
William Branham, Believing God, February 24th, 1952

May 2005,
just before
leaving for a Camp Meeting in Monterrey, Mexico, Bro. Prater made
mention to the congregation of Eagle Lighthouse Tabernacle that he had
a goal of meeting someone on this trip who was needing help in
building a church building.
Our first stop in Mexico
on this trip was in Nuevo Laredo. There we were to have a couple of
meetings scheduled with Bro. Miguel Oviedo. Two of the first men we
met as we arrived at the home of Bro. Oviedo, were Brothers Fortunato,
and Priciliano.
Both of these men are
from the La Huasteca area in San Luís Potosí, Mexico. Both of these
brothers were involved in construction of a church building in their
home area. The work was going slow, as these brothers are very poor,
and needed help.

photograph was taken in November, 2007. Brother and Sister Miller, and
Brother Bryant Lane were helping on the church building which Bro.
Fortunato was constructing. Much of the funds contributed to the
building of, and finishing the building were contributed by the Saints
of Eagle Lighthouse Tabernacle.
We are looking forward to being
in a dedication service for the church building soon.

One soul is worth a million worlds…
“But you got a soul inside of you, see, that's worth a million worlds, see." William Branham, Influence, November 14th, 1963
May 2006, just before
leaving for a Camp Meeting in Mexico, Bro. Prater made mention to some
of the brothers in the assembly that he hoped the missions efforts for
Mexico would develop into more than just the Camp Meeting in
Monterrey. With that thought in mind we made our journey to the camp
meeting. While we were there, Bro. Estrella asked Bro. Prater if he
would be interested in sponsoring a convention in the La Huasteca area
in San Luís Potosí, Mexico.
Was this an answer to the desire Bro. Prater had concerning
the Mexico meetings? Perhaps so…
A convention was scheduled for November, of 2006. This
convention may be considered as a successful meeting. There were a
number of Message believers from far and wide in attendance. However,
this was not where the main focus of the meeting seemed to be.
There were six denominational pastors in attendance with their
congregations. From this group four showed an interest in further
understanding of the Message of the Hour. In November 2007, Brother
and Sister Miller, and Bro. Bryant Lane returned to the same area, and
visited with some of the Message pastors who sponsored the meeting.
They then were introduced to a minister who continues to show an
interest in the Message. He and the congregation he pastors, continues
to express a desire to hear more of the Word of God, and what God is
doing in these last days to give the Bride rapturing faith. One
pastor, and his congregation still showing an interest in the Message
of the Hour. This is not at all discouraging. We still consider the
2006 November meeting as a very successful one. We may never have met
many of the believers we had fellowship with in the convention had we
not went to the La Huasteca meetings. This photograph is of
Brother José Fortunato Manuel, the pastor who is showing interest in
the Message of the hour, as he gives his testimony to Brothers James
Miller, and Bryant Lane.
