True Path Ministry—Stephen and Tonyia Williams, along with their niece Jeanette and their friend Debby—traveled with a group from Centro Cristiano Getsemaní Iglesia to the village of Puentes, Nuevo León, Mexico. This village had never before received a missionary visit, and the people were very excited to welcome us. It was our first time visiting Puentes, and when we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Pastor Lázaro, his wife Aurora, and many members of their church.

The church service was held under a temporary structure made from old billboard tarps. Our prayer is to one day help the village build a permanent concrete block church of about 1,000 square feet. While plans for the building are still in progress, True Path Ministry hopes to provide an event tent for the church to use.

Although the day was cool and windy, the congregation joyfully sang praises to God. Evangelist Ramiro shared a powerful message about salvation. He explained that salvation is a personal decision and that God does not show favoritism—He desires everyone to be saved. Ramiro also shared how people can open their hearts and receive God’s gift of salvation.

The message reflected the truth of Micah 7:18, which reminds us that God delights in mercy and does not stay angry forever.

Children’s church was led by teacher Ana and several youth helpers. She taught a lesson called “Walking with Jesus.” The lesson focused on John 14:6, where Jesus says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Ana explained to the children that walking with Jesus leads to truth and life and that His way is the right path. She reminded them that Jesus’ words are always true and that following Him is the most important choice they can make.

The children created a craft of a foot wearing a sandal labeled “Jesus” to remind them to walk with Him every day. They also sang songs and played a game similar to hopscotch, which showed that walking with Jesus may sometimes be challenging, but it is always rewarding.

Canoas, NL, is a small mountain village at the end of a rough road. True Path Ministry, along with volunteers from Texas and the Centro Cristiano Getsemaní church in Galeana, has traveled there many times. Over the years, the people of Canoas have become our family in Christ.

Life in this farming village is not easy. The people work hard, plowing small fields with donkeys, tending goat herds, and cutting timber. They face many challenges, but Christ gives them strength and fills them with joy and peace. Though Canoas is forgotten by much of the world, it is a treasure to us.

We held a simple worship service in the small wooden church, with acoustic guitar music and singing. The building is leaning badly and in need of serious repairs, yet it remains a place of faithful worship. We gathered for a combined service that included adult worship, kids’ church, and a time of giving.

During the adult service, we heard a message from Antonio, a student from Instituto Bíblico. He preached about the fruit of the Spirit and how we can apply it to our daily lives (Galatians 5:22–23). He reminded us that the greatest fruit of all is love.

We are called to serve the Lord in all we do while showing His love to others. After the services for both adults and children, we distributed backpacks filled with school supplies and toys. Mothers with babies received special bags with baby items, blankets, and toddler toys. It was a beautiful day of giving and sharing God’s love.

Kids Club was held outside the church and taught by Ana. Her lesson focused on “walking with Jesus,” helping the children understand that following Jesus leads to truth and life. The children also sang songs, played a game, and made a craft together.
