Reports, in English, by Dewayne and Rita Shappley
As of May 2, 2016, by the grace of God and with the support of generous congregations, plus that of a few individuals, we completed fifty years of evangelistic work directed toward the Spanish-speaking people of the world. Living in Puerto Rico, and starting there, as we began to produce materials for local use, brethren in other countries learned of them, requesting quantities. Eventually, so many requests were being received and so many fruits reported that we decided to devote the major part of our time to producing materials. Beginning in 2010, our chief focus has been evangelizing an edifying through Internet sites. During these fifty years, we have continually prepared reports for supporting churches and individuals. These fill five, two inch, three-ring binders, and we have started on the sixth.
From May 7, 2008 on, reports have been made available on this Internet site.
