Dear Praying Friends,

I pray all of you are doing well in this time of chaos. While we all try to navigate these new waters, please remember that God is still on his throng and always in control! We have nothing to fear with God on our side!

Due to this COVID-19, our furlough has been thrown out of whack! If you haven’t heard, the Mexican border has been closed to all non-essential traffic. That means that all missionaries on tourist visas, which we are on, are not allowed to enter Mexico. Also, many of the Mexican governors are asking the Mexican president not to allow Americans to cross the border to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Due to everything going on, our furlough will be extended. Also, many of our meetings have been canceled and postponed as well. However, God continues to amaze us. We came with the goal of raising an extra $1000 a month in support. Just the other day, we received news that we will be receiving $200 a month, and that means even amid all this chaos, we have raised $300 of the $1000 needed for our support.

After calculating the added percentage of support needed, we have about 80% of our support now. I believe that God can raise the rest of the support we need before we go back to the field! Even amid a global pandemic because God CAN!

Our church is doing ok while we are away. My assistant, who is taking things over while we are away, is in quarantine because their landlord had contact with a doctor in town who died from COVID-19. As well as the state is on lockdown, aka stay at home order and shutting of the state line, there is a lot of craziness going on there! So far, Jorge (my assistant) and his family are healthy and have no signs of the virus! Praise the Lord.

Please continue to pray for our church and Zacatecas at this time! I have been prerecording some messages and sending them to our church people on Sundays. Similar to which many of you are doing here in the States. While it is not the same, God can still do amazing things in the hearts of the hears, whether they are listening in person or digitally.

Again, thank you all so much for your faithful prayers and support. We are in our prayers as well, especially in these hard times!

Unto the Furtherance of the Gospel, The Granger Family
