Summer Nights at the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club

/in , /by

The weekly Marcos 10:14 Kids Club meeting is always Christ-centered, the kids have fun while learning about Jesus and the Christian faith. True Path Ministry (TPM) and volunteers from the Iglesia Getsemani Church in Galeana, NL, Mexico work together behind the scenes to clean the house and grounds, prepare the teaching area, prepare the food and make sure everything is in place for the kids to get the truth of the gospel. Each time the club kids are together they pray, play games, sing, recite memory verses, learn from that week’s Bible lesson, complete a craft project related to the lesson and enjoy a light meal. It’s a compact and intense 2-3 hour meeting every Thursday.

On July 4, 2019, the kids learned about trusting God without knowing where you are going. The craft was an imitation suitcase, where the kids had to fill in the blanks for the scripture Hebrews 11:8.

July 11 included another great lesson. It taught the children that the Lord is always with us. The Bible lesson was on the story of Jeremiah and how he got thrown in a dungeon but was later brought out of the dungeon safe and sound. Jeremiah, even while being in the dungeon, trusted God because he knew God would help him. “They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you”, says the Lord, “to deliver you” Jeremiah 1:19. To go along with the study, the kids decorated, and put together a well with an attached pale.

And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. Isaiah 32:17, was the memory verse on the July 18th club meeting. The kids learned that God wants us to practice justice, to love mercy and humble ourselves before Him. The craft was an outline of a flip flop shoe. The kids added straws to be the flip flop strap over the toe area and the saying walk humbly with Jesus.

We are just humbled and excited to be a part of what God is doing in Galeana, NL, Mexico – week after week! This ministry continues because of your financial support and prayers. THANK YOU! (Note: Click on a photo below to see it larger.)

Kid’s Club 4th Anniversary Fiesta a Big Hit

/in , /by

(Note: website story has many club fiesta photos.) True Path Ministry Inc. held its Marcos 10:14 Kids Club 4th Anniversary Fiesta on Tuesday, June 25th, 2019 in Galeana, NL, Mexico. Over 110 children and numerous adults were on hand to enjoy the fiesta. There were carnival-like games, singing, dramas, a meal, and a gift bag and cupcake for each child. Included in the time was a Bible study on Mark 10:14. The children learned that if they have Jesus in their heart, they are the sons and daughters of the King.

The craft went along with the Bible study and each child decorated a crown. To conclude the Bible study, Teacher Ana asked if there were any kids who wanted to receive Jesus in their hearts for the first time. Seventeen kid’s came forward, prayed the sinners prayer and made a first time commitment to follow Christ in their lives – HALLELUJAH! ALL GLORY TO GOD!

There was a lot of work that went on behind the scenes to make the fiesta a success. Many people from the Iglesia Getsemani Church and visitors from Grace Tabernacle (GT) of Ennis, Texas worked tirelessly to make it a truly memorable and Christ-centered event. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We also want to thank all those who support us with their prayers and financial gifts – we could not do this without you!

A Memorable Trip to Canoas

/in , /by

Folks from True Path Ministry, visitors on a short-term mission trip from Grace Tabernacle of Ennis, Texas and members of Iglesia Getsemani Church from Galeana, NL, Mexico on June 24, 2019 made their way to Canoas, a small remote mountain village. The group lifted up the Lord in a spirit-filled worship service with fellowship, songs and Bible-based preaching. The group also had supplies for a kid’s time complete with a Bible lesson, craft project and a gift bag for each child. At the end of services we spread out a tarp on the ground and emptied several bags of clothing.

It was a God honoring time of fellowship in Jesus name. The pastor of the tiny church in Canoas was very grateful and encouraged that Christians from Galeana and the USA would come to his village to share Jesus’ love.

Iglesia Getsemani Special Outdoor Service and Baptism

/in , /by

 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)

The Iglesia Getsemani Church in Galeana, NL, Mexico held its Sunday service June 23rd just above a creek on a ranch outside town. Hymns and Christian songs echoed down the canyon as worshipers lifted up the name of Jesus.

 It was a deeply spiritual experience praising our Lord under shade trees on the beautiful day in the mountains. After the songs and preaching we all walked down to the creek and five members of Iglesia Getsemani were baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

In addition to members of the Getsemani church, visitors from Grace Tabernacle in Ennis, Texas were on hand to witness the event and join the service. It was a beautiful day that will be etched in the memories of all who attended.

Sharing Jesus’ Love in Refugio

/in , /by

A group from Grace Tabernacle in Ennis, Texas came to Galeana, NL, Mexico on a short term mission trip to share their love of Jesus. They joined with True Path Ministry and several Christians from the Iglesia Getsemani church in Galeana to travel to Refugio on Saturday, June 23, 2019. It is an extremely remote mountain village.  “It was a long drive but well worth it to see the huge smiles on the kids faces,” said one traveler.

There was a powerful song service for all and evangelist Ramiro preached a riveting Bible-based sermon. There was also a time for the kids when they each completed a craft project and received a gift bag full of candy and small toys. We also gave several bags of clothes.

It was a wonderful day serving the Lord. The pictures below tell the story best.
