Ennis DRF Church Challenged to “Answer That Call”

/in , /by

Thank you to Pastor Glenn for allowing me the opportunity to speak at DRF. Today, June 18th Stephen challenged the hundred people in the Damascus Road Fellowship (DRF) congregation in Ennis, Texas to “Answer That Call.” His sermon asserted that Christians are called by God to answer three calls: 1) make Jesus central to our lives; 2) realize our faith is an active pursuit; and 3) understand we are called to be Jesus’ witness to the world. Steve used examples from the Bible, plus photographs and stories from True Path Ministry‘s year of work in Mexico to make his point. Based on feedback, the group was engaged in the sermon and took to heart each of the three points.

Because of the financial and prayer support of DRF and others, TPM is able to continue its ministry in Mexico. Thank you and Dios le Bendiga!

along with other helpers were ready, as they are every week, with a lesson, games, crafts and food. The kids learned about the call of Elisha (1 Kings 19:19-21) and how he served his oxen to the people before leaving with Elijah. They also heard what Jesus said about service in John (12:26): “If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.”

The craft project was to make an oxen puppet out of a paper sack. The active night ended with a snack of melons in a cup. It is a popular treat in Mexico. They often put hot sauce and lime on top to add to the flavor. It was a big night and a fun time for all involved.

The weekly club meeting is held at the Casa Cristiano El Alfarero and  many of the kids come in the ministry owned 1995 Suburban that drives them to and from far flung locations around Galeana to the meetings. True Path Ministry Inc., working with local Christian volunteers, sponsors the kid’s club.

Please pray for this ministry and if you feel compelled to make a financial donation visit our “support” page.

Evangelist Tito from Peru on May 24th preached a powerful sermon at a special outdoor service in Galeana, NL, Mexico. True Path Ministry along with Pastor Reynaldo’s congregation from the Getsemaní Church hosted the event at Casa Cristiano El Alfarero. It was a joy to see the courtyard area outside the ministry house filled with worshipers. Evangelist Tito has a special gift of healing and leading a spirit-filled service.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)

Rushing Wind at Kid’s Club

/in , , /by

And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they [Jesus’ followers] were sitting (Acts 2:2). On May 25th the children at the Marco 10:14 Kid’s Club in Galeana, NL, Mexico learned about the coming of the Holy Spirit. Teacher Ana read much of the story including Peter’s impassioned speech (Acts 2:14-36). It was a powerful lesson. During craft time the kids made paper pinwheels designed to turn in a breeze to remind them of the wind sound the people heard. It was a fun time of learning about the Lord.

Kid’s Club: One Powerful God

/in , /by

There is only one true God, and he is powerful. The Lord used the Prophet Elijah to show His power and to challenge the false god Baal (1 Kings 18:20-40); “And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, ‘The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God.’” The Marcos 10:14 kid’s club learned about the story, and made their own illustration of the event during craft time. Each week the many children who attend the club meetings learn more about God directly from a story in the Bible. In the process they play some games, eat a snack and have some fun together.

The kids especially enjoy the projects during craft time (click on a photo to see it larger).
