El Carmon, NL, Mexico received an answered prayer today in the form of its new church building getting a complete wiring job. Christians visitors from Medina, Texas joined with True Path Ministry and other volunteers from Mexico to bless the small desert village. Not only does the church there serve as a place of worship, but also as a community center. The residents have been working to complete the building for the past two years and getting the permanent electric wiring install is a big step forward.
The photos below tell much of the story of a long but fun day serving the Lord (click on a photo to see it larger).

A team from the Medina, Texas Methodist Church drove five hours into Mexico to join with True Path Ministry to complete several work projects in Jesus name. Their first project was on Monday, March 8th. They installed a new metal roof at Pastor Seldonia’s house church near Refugio. The group drove deep into the mountains on steep and often challenging roads to get to the isolated location. The photos below tell the story best.

Each Thursday True Path Ministry and Iglesia Getsemani play host to 30-50 children who have come to the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club meeting in Galeana, NL, Mexico. It is held in a large tent dedicated to the program beside the TPM ministry house. Christians who are part of a committed group of volunteers prepare the lessons, drive a route picking up kids in the van, lead the singing, teach the lesson, prepare and serve a meal.
It is heart warming to hear the kids sing Christian songs, recite Bible verses, eagerly tell what they have learned from the Bible lesson and proudly show the craft they made. The Bible-based teaching often emphases the boundless love of our Lord and the importance of sharing it with each other and our neighbors.
TPM is able to make this important ministry possible because of the prayer and financial support we receive. We are humbled to be the conduit through which the Lord works to bring His life saving message to this part of the world. Praise Jesus!

True Path Ministry Inc. missionaries Stephen and Tonyia Williams were at the Sunday morning service on February 16th at the White Rock Christian Fellowship Church in Bandera, Texas. Stephen delivered the message using PowerPoint slides to emphasize his points and to show some of TPM’s work in Mexico.(Hear his sermon from the White Rock Christian Fellowship Church website at: http://www.whiterockcm.org/teachings/2020/021620serm.mp3)
Two members of the Church went to
Mexico on a short-term mission trip during the Christmas season.
Robert and son Zachary Lyman were part of a group from various
churches and Texas towns who helped deliver gifts in rural Northern
Mexico (see http://truepathministry.com/news/
for stories about the Christmas giving tour). After their adventures
they worked with Pastor Bob Morris to invite TPM to speak at their
church.
Stephen’s sermon focused on three of the many ways God talks to us. One way God uses is nature to remind us who He is. The Bible says “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20 ESV). In rural northern Mexico TPM is surrounded by majestic mountains. God’s majesty is on full display through the natural environment there.
Another
way our Lord talks with us is through His word, the Holy Bible. “For
the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and
of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart”
(Hebrews
4:12 ESV). TPM shares the word in many ways in the Galeana, NL,
Mexico area.
And
finally, the Lord uses His Holy Spirit to communicate with us. The
Bible says, “In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the
promised Holy Spirit,” Ephesians
1:13 And through the Holy Spirit we were given gifts, “A
spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other (1
Corinthians 12:7 NLT). TPM has been blessed to work with many
people who are using their spiritual gifts with TPM.
The Lord is working through TPM to spread His gospel and we are humbled and honored to be a small park of His work. Praise Jesus!

TPM continues to serve Jesus in Mexico in many ways. Our recent Christmas Box Gift Giving tour went very well. Our biggest project continues to be constructing a new church building in Galeana, NL, Mexico along with Iglesia Getsemani and work has progressed well. 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, NL, Mexico. We also visited several remote villages during the last few months.
