Dear Friends and Co-Laborers in the Lord:
Greetings in the nane of our Lord and we pray that all of you are happy in
His work- We do want to express our apologies for not writing since last November.
Thankyou for staying v.itb us in your financial and spiritual support even though we
have not kept you sufficiently informed.
We have lots of news for you so we hope we won't bore you and that you will find
the letter of interest to you.
First of all ve will begin vith Bill's trip to the Missionary Convention in
Novenber. Bill along ..'Itt Ka old Gibbs represented Colegio Biblico at the convention.
He Cufie back uplifted and ri^ady ':o vrork again (vhica he never quits).
In December we -r-T able ic ao to Nebi aska. saw many of you and wcra happy
to see you. We had n god tin.e "ith Grandma and also the Behm family in Scottsbluff.
It was also a v^ery sad time since Bill's uncle, Reinie Behm, passed on to be with our
Lord. We do want to express cur thanks to all those people who were so wonderful
and thought of us and Marge, Evelyn and Susie at this time of grief. We do praise
the Lord for this man'.s s'ovk and for his faith in Him. . Do keep praying for Evelyn
and Susie that they may be strengthened and made strong through the loss of this
loved one.
It was back to school in January. ''vbruary we were kept busy since we were
getting ready for the big event of the Colegio Biblico school year. Juring the
week prior to the convention. Bill traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend a
seminar on develcptient. The infon.'ation which was gained during the seminar will
be of great use to F.ill in .'".Ls duties as the Director of Publicity at Colegio Biblico.
We must get back, to ta.Jking about the Bilingual Convention. We wish more of you
could have come and fcllowshipped '-'ith us. We had about 5 to 6 hundred in attendance.
Tkxs was lower than past years, since the Mexican government would not give the
custoniacy three cay pass to those Mexicans without a passport. Spiritually, it was
one of our best conventions. We co want to invite you to our ^xt_B_i.rlingual
Convention. It will be held on February 24, 25 and 26th..1576.
.Caster w-as our next high.lighi. Bill had the priviledge to go to Culican, Mexico
with a team of 6 students and present several dramas. Culican is located on the
west coast of the r.a.inland of Mexico. The student team did a great job and Bill
learned more Spanish and able to have a week of fellowship with the Mexican
people. Billy and I .ad the priviledge to hold a revival with Brother Francisco
Villa in Crista-i. City, Te>:as. It was a wonderful x-jeek of visiting and work. This
revival marked the beginniig for a Spanish-speaking church in Crystal City. We did
have two souls come to Christ during the meeting. My mom and my sisters have
started helping in this church too. Pray that the Lord will use them in His work.
Apiil was the month for our hoir tours. All four choirs started out on April
the 11th and traveled as far as X.ievo Laredo, Mexico. Tiiere we had a service that
night. We then went on to .Monterrey for a Saturday night performance then we had a
perfonr;ance Sunday Tnorring in Monterrey also. Sunday afternoon we traveled to Saltillo,
Mexico and held a concert. Monday morning all the choirs with the exception
of the girls choir we:ir back to Eagle Pass. Bill, Billy, 9 choir girls and I went
on to Estancias de Animas, Zacatecas for a week of revival. It was the first time
.that the gir.s choir had oeen away for a week of tour and they really enjoyed it.
s. ancias de Animas is a little village way do\-m south. Many of our students come from
this area, they were happy to be able to take a team to their homes. It is a poor
village, but, J want to say the people were so wonderful to us that everything else
was over looked. VJe had 17 prospects for Bible college and 1 soul won for Christ.
X do want to say thank you to the Ron Kautz family of Lyman, Nebraska for their gift
of the accordion which came in very handy in the villages we visited in Zacatecas.
It t>?as also used in the revival in

BiBy seemed to win the hearts of all
who heard him sing during the summer.
While in Nebraska, wefilled out threeanda halfweeks which were orfyionally open. Thissaved usa trip backto Eagle Pass
duringthe middle of the summer. During twoof the weeks whichwere open duringthe summer. Bill workedat Midwest Farm
Service, Inc.,Gering, Nebraska. Thiswas thefirm withwhich Bill worked during the time he was going to college. The additioiial
income was very much appredated.
The summer tumed out to be one of the richest blessingsfor us. The Lord had it all plaimed out for us even though we
origionally did not have all of Hisplan in mind. The first blesang was beingable to fill out the entire summer with camps, VBS's
and diurch programs. Another great blessing waswhen Billreceived a newprinting pressto be usedat Colegio Biblico. Brother
Peary Rader of Alliance, Nebraska gifted the Collegewith a large rn '
printing press. Boy you should have seen Bill's face. It was just r
like someonehad given hima million dollars. What a joy it is to have
such wonderful Christian fellowworkers! We do thank Mr. and ^ - -=
Mrs. Rader for this gift and may God richly bless them because of 5 aUj
this gift. Another blessingcame when friends of ours from Scottsbluff,
Brent and Carol Adamson, ^reed to ddiver the printing press to ,
Eagle Pass. That was a great lift off our shoulders. We truely thank ^
them and we really enjoyed having them visit us here. We wish that '* >
more ofyou could come see ustoo! During the BipLinguaLC9nvention^\ >1
inFebruary would be an excellent time tovisit, February 24-26th. J

August wasa bu^ monthin Eagle Pass. Oneof the many events was our 5&anniversary. We have hada wonderful five
years together andhopethat the Lordallows usmany more as well. TheMexican National YouthConvention was hdd in Rosita,
Coahuila, Mexico on Aug. 12-14th. Althoughthis wasonty 80 miles fromEagle Passwe decided not to attend because of the
amount of time we had available in Eagle Pass to get things ready prior to the boomingof school. The attendance at the
convention was high and it started outtobe agreat time offellowdiip and inspiration. It ended intr^edyhowever, in that
during apicnic on^e.last day ofthe convention. Please pray for his family in thaf oi^Tus mother was Christian
andthiscould cause the family some problems.
OnAi^st the15th, Mark Northrup got married! Yes, youread right! Mark got married. We sawhimin Eagle Pass at
thefirst of September and heseems to beavery happy married man. Pray forthisyoung married Christian couple.
School hasstartedand we arenowin the full swing of things here. Theattendance islowfor this school year. We askall
ofyou to pray thattheattendance will show an increase during the second semister. This year the students had alot of problems
in gettii^ their paperworkrequired for leaving Mexico and entering the US.
We arenow working on thehouse on campus which we will bemoving into soon. This project has been taking much of
Bill*s time. We hope to be init by theend ofSeptember orthemiddle ofOctober. The school ispaying approximately $300
inflxing upthishouse andwe will have to payfor anyotherexpenses which may come upabove that amount. The students
ofCol^o Biblico are also helping ontheproject and thishelps out a lot. We will have a considerable amount of expense howevCT,
as the house was in poor condition. Brent and Carol can attest to that statement.
We areanxiously waiting for our next addition to the family, due November the 18th. We arehoping to bein the house
on campus as soonas possible because of the closeness of this event. Prayfor us in this matter andespecially for me as I am
preparing for the move as well as our next child.
Because of additional expenses which we will have here in making tfie move andalso in the baby, some additional support
would begraceously accepted. Last year wewere about $3,000short of our allowed salary at Colegio BibUco. This would be a
good time to pick up some of that deficit.
Thank youallwho remembered mybirthday inJuly. I sure appreciated the cards and just being remembered. Billy also
hada birthday on September 2nd. He really had been excited aboutit. All summer long hehad been makii^ a list of allhis
wants. Finally wedecided just for us threeto have a birthday cakeandwedidget hima small swimming pool, which had been
onthe topofhis list. He seems just sohappy with this much and nopinata party. I think the other kids were disappointed,
but Billy was very happy.
We ask all of you to keep us in your pray^s and think of us oftoi.
MayGod Blessyou and until the next letter; ^
In His Work,
Bill, Rosa, & Billy Baker

Dear Co-workers in the Lord:
IT'S AGIRL!!
BARBARA LADEH BAKER
6 lbs. 15ozs.
20 inches long
Bom November 8, 1975
Praise the Lord!! Our baby has arrived and we are so grateful that everything has been going pretty good
for us. I'm still laid up after feeling pretty good ail week and then suddenly on Monday I got sick with cramps.
We thank God that f am feeling pretty good today again. My mother has been staying with us since we had the
baby. We are so thankful for your prayers, thoughts and support as we have awaited our babys' arrival. She looks
just like Billy did when he was born. She has real dark hair and blue eyes. She is such a cute, chubby little thing.
During the month of October, the Northeast Christian
Church in San Antonio, gave me a shower for the baby. This was
the first shower which I had attended which allowed men in on
die hjn. Several of the men from the congregation attended along
v\nth Bill. One of the highlights of the evening was a diaper
changing contest among the men present. Believe it or not.
Bill won the contest. It makes me believe that the competition
was rigged II
Well, back to other things. We finally moved into our
house on campus. We had been praying that the baby would
come after we got moved in and before Bill started traveling
in representation for the college. That is just what had happened.
Bill had to borrow some money from the bank in order to
get the house fixed up. But, we feel that this was better
than paying our own rent for an indefinate period of time.
If we had not moved on campus, the college would have quit
paying the rent for us at the other house. Therefore, we
invested the equavelant of one years' rent on the campus
house. If we remain here longer than one year (There seems
to be little doubt about thisll) we will have a pretty good
return on our investment.
We have moved into the house on campus.

diaper changing contests

Bill has kept pretty busyIn gettingthe promotional program of Colegio BIblico going again. He was working
night and day on the house In order to get It ready to move In and now I guess he Is trying to make up for lost time
Inthe promotional program of the college. Presentlyhe is trying to get ready for the National Missionary Convention.
He Is preparing an entirely new display for the convention and Lord willing, he will leave here onSaturday evening,
the 22nd of November. He has several speaking dates arranged to and from the convention which will be held In
Saint Louisduringthe Thanksgiving break. Please pray for himas he Ison the road and representing Colegio BIblico.
BIN has started making color pictures for the college and .he has been so excited about the results. Some of his work
will be used on the display presentation which he istaking to Saint Louis. When Bill returns to Eagle Pass on
December I, he will once again be very busy is preparingthe Calendarfor publication. This year, the calendar will
be mailedout to only those who have contributed to Colegio BIblico during the past year. This will cut down the
number which will have to be made down from about 10,000to about 3,000. There will be about 1,500 extra and
we may use some of these to mall out to our own mailing list. If so, don't expect your copy until after the first of
theyear.
College life has been going real good. Thestudents areall getting ready to go home for thanksgiving. I
know how anxious they must be, since we used to be the same way.
Other than the arrival of our baby, hot much has been happeningso this letter will be kind of short.
7We<lid want-toTet-aH-of-you Jcnowofthe prectous-chlld God harghren to us. - -
We ask foryour prayers once more. Thank-you for your continued financial support.
May God bless all of you and don't forget to plan tocome tothe Bl-llngual Convention during the
last week of February. Ben Alexander, a noted forhfier spiritualist, wlll be the featured speaker. Remember the
dates, February 24, 25 & 26.
