New Roof and Kid’s Day in Refugio

Short-term missionaries from the Medina, Texas United Methodist Church joined with True Path Ministry on August 9th for an adventure for Christ in the mountains of Mexico. After a beautiful but rough trip deep into the remote highlands they split into two groups. One group put a sheet-metal roof on a church’s worship area. In another location the second group held a special service and activity time for kids, and a worship service for Moms.

Jesus said “I Am the Resurrection and the Life”

Visiting short-term missionary, Hope Loveless, was on hand August 1st along with thirty children at the weekly Marcos 10:14 Kids Club meeting in Galeana, NL, Mexico. They learned about the “I am” statements Jesus made in the Bible book John. The craft project was a “discovery wheel.” When the two round paper sections were assembled the kids could dial the wheel to see each of the seven “I am” statements Jesus made in John and its location in the Bible.

Teacher Maria also had games, songs and prayers related to the lesson. Other faithful adult supporters helped make the meal, drive the True Path Ministry van and assisted the kids with their craft project. Jesus was at the heart of everything and is the reason for this ministry.

The lesson reminds all of us about the power and different attributes of our Lord as expressed in His seven “I am” statements which are:

John 6:35, I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

John 8:12, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

John 10:9, I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.

John 10:11, I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

John 11:25, I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,

John 14:6, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me

John 15:1, I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.

Jesus continues to bless this ministry and we pray He continues to bless you for your love, prayers and financial support!
