Planting God’s Word in Rayones

/in , /by

The woman came forward “I want this Christ you talked about in my life.” Pastor Reynaldo prayed with her as she repented and opened her heart to a new life for Jesus. Pastor Rey’s text for his powerful sermon was from 2 Corinthians 5:17; “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

She was not the only one moved by the presence of God as the group from Galeana, NL, lead worship, kid’s time, handed out gifts and clothes. Both the givers and the receivers were blessed by a great day in the Lord.

Going to Rayones involved about a two hour drive to travel just 20 miles. The town is directly through the mountains on steep and very rough roads. While the drive may have been slow, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

A Christian tract was inside each child’s gift (click on a photo to see it larger).

Pastor Reynaldo brought a deeply moving message.

Juan gave his testimony how the Lord brought him through a serious medical issue.

Several others gave heart-felt testimonies.

Each child received a gift bag and a stuffed animal.

Clothing was laid out on a tarp.

Reading glasses were popular.

A good size group came from Galeana.

The road was difficult but beautiful.

These believers meet under the trees. They have no building.

The kids got their gift after they said their memory verse.

Palmito Praise

/in , /by

True Path Ministry’s Stephen and Tonyia Williams were part of a group of Christians from Galeana, NL, Mexico who went to worship with the people of the tiny mountain village Palmito. Pastor Ruben who is well into his 80’s has revised a small church there and we want to support his ministry. The church was very happy to see us. Evangelist Ramiro, Pastor Reynaldo, Pastor Lulu and others from Galeana were on hand for a moving time of worship. The kids were also treated to a special time for them including Bible learning and a small gift. It was a great day to lift up Christ in the mountains. Palmito is named for the multitude of dwarf palms that grow there.

Pastors Lulu and Ruben played some music together (click on a photo to see it larger)

God Is Always with Us

/in , /by

We must hold fast to the truth that God loves us and will never leave us. He is our rock. The children at a recent Marcos 10:14 Kids Club meeting learned about Stephen (Esteban) being stoned to death as recorded in Acts 7. They learned that his death was not a loss, but God used it for good. Stephen is a superhero because he never denied Christ. Regardless of our circumstances Jesus is always with us and we should never deny our faith in him. As we live as true Christians, our faith will be challenged, but, like Stephen, we should always look to Jesus during trying times.

The art project had the kids write on a rock positive words from the lesson such as honest, wise, faithful, kind, forgiven… (click on a photo to see it larger)

Christian songs are a part of every meeting

the games also related to the lesson

nachos are a favorite snack

craft time

On another week the kids learned about sharing their faith.

Work is progressing along and the walls are now in place.  The Marcos 10:14 Kids Club is also doing well. The gospel is being shared with children and adults each Thursday at our ministry house in Galeana. We also visited remote villages during the summer months.
