VBS 2024

We just finished two weeks of Vacation Bible School at Lily of the Valley Baptist Church in El Poblado and Open Door Baptist Church in Rayones.  We love being able to complete separate Vacation Bible Schools in each church so we can build better relationships with the people in each community and to allow the people from the churches to take part in the planning and implementation throughout the week.  We had 20-30 people each night, each week.  The Gospel was presented several times and we pray seeds that were planted will grow and take root.

Youth Camp 2024

 After the Covid-19 pandemic it has been slow to get back to our normal ministry activities.  Youth camp was fantastic this year.  We saw 33 youth accept Jesus as their Savior and others who made decisions to draw closer to God and serve Him.  David helped with the program team as well as Audio Video support.

Emmanuel Baptist 32nd Anniversary

It was a joy to be able to worship with Emmanuel Baptist and assist with Audio/Video support.

Jovenes de Rayones (Youth of Rayones)

Every second Thursday, we have a community wide outreach in the park for youth.

 

Women's Conference in Terán

Womens Conference at the Face of God Baptist Church in Terán.  We had two ladies attend from Rayones who wanted a ride which is a two hour one way trip!  They enjoyed the conference and were encouraged.

 

FASCAR

Fascar event at Open Door Baptist Church.  Praise the Lord for one salvation!

Planning via Video Conferencing

 Sometimes planning takes place in person and sometimes the need arises to meet virtually.  Sometimes you have a good place to set your phone/laptop during the call and sometimes you need to get creative. 

Taco Tuesday

Christmas time in ministry. Time to organize the Christmas gifts sent by all of you for our Christmas services. What better way to get in the mood than to watch a Christmas movie while working. #messiahsmagi #missionsinmexico

Thank you all of the prayers. Bad news first: we were denied our residency. After our lawyer pleaded on our behalf for two hours and although the government official wanted to help us, he simply could not due to the laws. Good news: Even though we have to start the process again, this time we are working with an excellent Christian lawyer, the process will be done correctly from the beginning, and we should receive the residency with no issues.

Thank you for all of the prayers! Permission was granted and we have an appt at 9am Monday morning in Mexico City to receive our residency papers. Please pray for safety as we travel 10 hours south and for a smooth process. Thankful for friends and fellow missionaries there who are letting us crash at their house for the weekend.

After taking a few days’ hiatus as a family, we’re repacking/reorganizing/preparing to enter Mexico. We hope to be back to our other home today. We can’t wait to see our friends there and our pets. Thanks you for all of your prayers!

After 6 weeks of traveling and sharing about the ministry, we are heading back to Mexico. We plan to stretch out the trip to include a few days to unplug as a family before heading back into Mexico and and to accommodate Melanie also driving a vehicle. She’s usually doing the sleeping, not the driving, so we will drive shorter distances each day. We are so thankful for the new van. We are packed from front to back in two vehicles and the trailer because of all the donations given to the ministry. Thank you!! God-willing, we’ll do it all again next year.

To everyone who has given to us whether it be through finances, housing, donations, personal notes of encouragement and prayer, having us speak in your church….THANK YOU!! We apologize that we’re so far behind on hand-written notes, but we wanted you to know we do not take for granted each individual’s part in our lives and ministry. We are working on those personal notes!! Love, David and Melanie
