True Path Ministry and the Iglesia Getsemani church team welcomed 40 children to the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club meeting on Thursday, July 14th. Seven Christian visitors from Texas were also part of the mix. It was a blessing to witness several kids recite Bible verses from memory and sing fun Christ-centered songs. A prize was given to the one who brought the most new kids, and those new children were recognized and welcomed.
During the project time each child made a miniature scroll with the key Bible verse for the week. “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!,” said Jesus (John 5:39 NLT).

True Path Ministry and the Iglesia Getsemani church team honored fathers at the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club meeting on June 16th. As always, activities at the meeting centered around a Bible verse. This week the verse was from Exodus 20:12, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.” During craft time the many children who came made a special page to give their fathers. The fun included Bible study, prayer, singing, games and a light snack.
Every Thursday all children in the Galeana, NL, area are welcomed to the meeting which is held in a colorfully painted covering beside the Iglesia Getsemani church building. A mixture of youth and adult volunteers help give the kids a memorable experience while sharing with them the love of Jesus Christ.

At a meeting every quarter of the year the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club highlights children who have had a birthday during one of the three months. True Path Ministry and the Iglesia Getsemani church team included a birthday celebration in its weekly club meeting on Thursday, June 2nd.
We sang Feliz Cumpleaños (happy birthday), took a photo and shared cupcakes. For some of these children this is the only time there are festivities around their birthday.
There are an average of 40 children (and about 20 adults) who learn about and honor Christ at the meetings. Each week, club has enjoyed popularity as a place to pray, hear a gospel teaching, sing, laugh during fun games, make a craft with their own hands and enjoy a light meal.
They spend about two hours with an essential group of faithful youth and adult volunteers. Teacher Ana leads them with lessons prepared by TPM in advance and a craft that amplifies the teaching. During the past few weeks lessons have included:
June 2; Obey It and Succeed; 2 Timothy 3:15
May 26; Book of God for Man (10 Commandments); 2 Timothy 3:16
May 19; Secrets of Queen Esther; Psalm 118:24
May 12; Israelites Return to Israel; 1 Chronicles 28:20
“Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God,” said Jesus (Mark 10:14, ESV). It is an honor to serve Christ and live out his words through the kid’s club.

True Path Ministry Inc. (TPM) and the Iglesia Getsemani Church in Galeana, NL, Mexico are close partners in sharing the love of Christ. Thanks to blessings from the Lord and faithful supporters we have been steadily improving and adding to the buildings where the church meets. New signage on the worship center, wall by the church entrance and murals in the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club area are the latest improvements. Our goal was to create an inviting space for the youth and children to meet. Plus, the large sign at the church road entrance and on the front of the church building is visible from a long distance.
The scripture on the sign by the road, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, ” said Jesus in Matthew 11:28.

True Path Ministry (TPM) and the Iglesia Getsemani Church in Galeana, NL, Mexico are close partners sharing the love of Christ. They have taken on three big construction projects in addition to ongoing monthly initiatives, such as the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club and church responsibilities. We ask for your prayers and if the Lord is leading you to donate, a check can be mailed to: 1420 Mosley Rd, Ennis Tx 75119 or by going to the “Support” page on our website and push the donate button.
The three biggest construction projects are:
1) constructing a new church building in the desert village Hidiondilla;
2) constructing a new church building in the mountain village Purisima; and
3) adding a bathroom and kitchen area to the home of a single mom raising three children in Galeana.
In Hidiondilla, the Centro Cristiano Maranatha church, lead by Pastor Carlos and wife Jenny, is a young and growing church. It is in a small desert community near large scale tomato farms. When complete the new building will be 1,800+ square foot and will replace a small existing structure made from scrap materials. Construction has gone well; the walls are up and it is time to pour the concrete for the floor. The metal roof, windows, doors, wiring and plumbing will come after the floor is complete. Many from the church contribute their labor to this project. (see related: Good Construction Progress in Hindiondilla ; A New Church in Hidiondilla, NL, Mexico).
In Purisima, the existing tiny church building is in disrepair, is on borrowed property and is too small. The long-term pastor Lebardo recently passed away and his final wish was that a new permanent building be constructed. Iglesia Getsemani, Pastors Reynaldo and Lourdes, go there to preach monthly and a member of Lebardo’s family plans to move there as the full-time minister. The church has a clear land title where the new structure will be located. The small, remote mountain community is excited about a new building. The footings for the wall area have been started, but we are praying for more funding to complete the 1,400 square foot place of worship (see relate: Presents in Purisima)
In Galeana, construction is underway to build a kitchen and bathroom for a single mom who is raising three children on her own. This mother is very involved with TPM and Iglesia Getsemani. She recently acquired a tiny unfinished concrete structure and lives there without the many conveniences we often take for granted. The team has already rebuilt much of the roof area and completed electrical wiring. The wall area and new roof over the additional space have been roughed in. But stucco, plumbing and additional wiring are needed to complete the project.
TPM and Iglesia Getsemani are grateful for the ongoing assistance from individual and church supporters. It keeps us serving Christ in the way He leads us, in this part of Mexico. With you, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we have accomplished much over the past few years. We are honored to continue working with our brothers and sisters in Mexico to Glorify Jesus! But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33 (ESV)
