Good Morning from Tracy CA!
The sun is shining and we are looking forward to what the day will bring as we serve HIM.
Yesterday was Sandra Cantu's birthday. Sandra was the little girl who was abducted
and murdered by her Sunday School teacher in 2009. Tracy will forever be changed by that horrible time. Thank you for those who prayed us through and supported us as we shared the love of Christ and true Christianity during that time. God has used your faithfulness to bring many to himself.
Praise the Lord that two precious children have received Christ in recent weeks at Crossroads. Benny Shade made a clear profession of faith in Children's Church. He was very broken over his sins and his need for Jesus' forgiveness. It was, however very hard to keep a straight face, when he was asked where he would go if he wasn't saved, and he answered "Mexico"(instead of Hell). Since there are families in our church from Mexico, this was especially funny.
Lana's family was reached through the Fourth of July parade and Vacation Bible School. She accepted Jesus as her Savior last Wednesday in JOY Club. Her statement was "I've always believed Jesus died on the cross. Now I believe He died for ME"
Thank you for your prayers and support of this ministry. This is your fruit!
Our biggest outreach of the year is coming soon! The Resurrection Egg Hunt is April 22. We are busy stuffing eggs, preparing goody bags, etc. We need 4,000 Eggs from our prayer supporters so that we can reach our goal of 14,000 eggs for the hunt. If you can help with this outreach, please send plastic eggs that have been stuffed with wrapped candy (no chocolate, please), stickers, small toys, gospel bracelets, Bible verses, etc. to The Heinrichs 1220 Appalosa Way Tracy CA 95376. Please use a small piece of tape to tape each egg shut, as we scatter them quite quickly and not gently! Thank you! If the Lord has "laid" this ministry on your heart please let us know by replying to this e-mail so that we can plan appropriately.
If you would like to purchase pre stuffed eggs, they can be ordered from

We would appreciate your prayers for our daughter Samantha (13). She has been dealing with what we thought was acid reflux. Over the last 10 days she has had difficulty keeping solid food down and has been living on smoothies! She is scheduled have a scope on Friday morning at 8:am to try to find out what is going on.
We would also appreciate your prayers as one our core families contemplate a possible move to New Mexico. Please pray for the Stepps as they consider what God has for them to do. Losing them would leave a huge hole in the ministry here, but we know that God's timing is perfect and HE will build his church.
