In a recent, shocking set of circumstances a missionary couple that were very close to Samantha and I as well as our home church were murdered on the mission field. The details are still coming in. But one thing we know is that Mexico lost some amazing warriors for Christ, and Heaven gained some faithful warriors.
Our prayers go out to their family. Brother John would always say, "I am safer in the Mexico in the Perfect will of God, than back home out of the will of God." We know that God is in control and that God does all things well and perfect. One thing is for sure they are walking on streets of gold!
Please pray for the Salvation of who ever is responsible for this, we know that is what John and Wanda would want. They loved souls, and they loved their people in Mexico. Please pray for souls to saved as a result.
Some of the best memories we have of Bro John and Wanda were at Apache Creek Deaf and Youth Ranch. Dr. James Wilkins was having a discipleship camp and they were able to make it.
While they were there, Mrs Casias wanted to try out the Gyro. The following pictures are her.

Our friends, Mark and Liz Rogers, posted this story on facebook the other day. Such a horrific and sad thing to happen! I have no doubt they will be rewarded as martyrs for their death on the mission field. May God comfort those who are grieving; their family, their friends and their church friends. Such a shocking time for everyone, I'm sure. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friends. Nahum 1:7
