A few pics of our children's Sunday-School Classes: 
There are a few things I would like for you to notice as you peruse these pictures. Firstly, take note of our teenagers helping in the children's departments. Some not pictured here help in the Junior Churches. Secondly, the students of the Christian school are faithful to SS.
I would also like to bring to your attention the outdoor
classes. Think of these pics when you next hear a missionary announce a building program for their church.
We currently also have one set of outdoor restrooms -- (not outhouses, but one step above), and one set of indoor restrooms. I am not sure how it exactly translates, but we are in a giving campaign to improve the plumbing at our facilities.
We want to fix the pipes to the baptistry, as our baptisms now take place in the "old sanctuary" or the children's church. In addition, we would like to build new restroom facilities.
I am encouraged by the number of our "Senior Saints" still teaching Sunday School. Many of these faithful men and women were won to the Lord and discipled by Jon's parents. Praise the Lord, they are helping to teach and train future generations in the things of the Lord.
Lastly, please take note of just how similar these classes are to the Sunday-School classes in your own church. These boys and girls have the same needs as your boys and girls. These boys and girls, by the grace of God, are being given the same opportunities to learn, grow, and serve as your boys and girls. For those of you who are members of churches who
support either / both of the Ashcraft families and / or myself, you have a huge part in everything you see in these pictures and more.
From all of us at Mt Hebron,
"Thank you!"
Yes, that is Samy quoting this week's memory verse :)

Easter Pics!!
Here in Mexico (as well as other predominately Catholic, Spanish-speaking countries) the week before Easter is known as Santa Semana, or Holy Week. The celebrations and American commercialism were far from anything holy. Many grocery and convenience stores featured live bands / dancers with American music sponsored by liquor companies. But, Praise the Lord, we had a great day at church!
Yes, a balmy, rather cool 81*. Later it warmed up to 90*, which was much nicer. As you can see, Lucas was not happy with the idea of pictures before eating. We had numerous visitors, professions of faith, and baptisms at the end of the service. And after, I enjoyed roast beef with Jon, Jenny, the boys, and a visiting missionary.
Soulwinning

On Monday, March 21: Our youth had a Soulwinning Marathon. Many people went soulwinning in different areas in or near Monterrey and saw a total of over 400 souls saved.
On Friday, March 25: As this was "Good Friday" there was much traffic and many people out. Our ladies' groups went soulwinning not far from the church to the market area. Jessica, Jenny, and I walked to the left as Hna. Betty stopped and witnessed to a teenage boy. The other four ladies went to the right. The 3 of us passed out 175+ tracts and invited people to our Easter services.
The 8 ladies in our van saw 10 saved.
On Friday, April 1: Many families and Institute students conducted Bible clubs this week. The public schools are all on Spring Break, so it is a good time to reach the children. Many of our ladies were involved in these, but four of us showed up for regular soulwinning. We went to the town square in the center of Santiago, not far from the church. I was privileged to sit next to Jenny on a park bench while she led Victoria to the Lord who very much wants to start bringing her children to church. We met a few people who had been saved previously, and we encouraged them to join us in worship. Altogether, the 4 ladies in our van won 7 souls.
On Sunday, April 3: We had a "Big Day" (Dia Grande) at the church. Bro. Darrel Ratcliffe and his wife Buffy brought inflatables and games for the children to enjoy after church. We had scores of visitors and many salvations and baptisms. Hopefully, a great start for our New Converts SS Class!

Benjamin (pronounced Ben - ha - meen) turns four! I had to post the pics from his party because he is such a great kid, not just because Batman is my favorite Super-Hero.
Yes, that is Francisco manning the ropes of the piñata atop the neighbor's 2nd-story porch.
Who is that masked man? Not Bruce Wayne, Benjamin!
(the other one is the piñata)
