Club is an important part of the True Path Ministry mission in Mexico. Our prayer is for each one of these kids to know Jesus personally. Each week, teacher Patty leads the kids in singing, games and the Bible lesson. Lou Lou (as we all call her, but her real name Lourdes), Pastor Reynaldo’s wife, heads up the food part of club with several helpers: Marti, Sandra, occasionally Edith and others. There are other adult volunteers that make club happen each week.

May 24: the study this week taught the kids the importance of reading their Bible to learn more about God, how to live as a Christian and to be in a personal relationship with Jesus.

At Craft time, the kids make a jar of love. Each kid decorated a jar of love to give someone in their family. They taped to the outside of the jar the words: Reasons I love you. Each child would have written on several strips of paper why they loved that person and placed them inside the jar.

On May 31: the kids learned about the temple which was a special place to worship for the Israelites. The children were taught that the buildings where we worship is special, but we can worship God everywhere.

For the craft, the kids made a tent which resembled the housing the Israelites lived in. The kids always enjoy the craft time which goes along with the Bible study.

It takes a team of workers to keep this weekly ministry going. Steve and I are very thankful for their willingness to work with these kids every week. May the Lord bless each one of them abundantly for their service!!

Teacher Patty makes the lessons fun for the kids.

Game time always brings lots of laughs.

There is a time for singing Christian songs at each club meeting.

Some kids wear their club shirts to the meetings.

The workers labored long hours to get the stage foundation completed at the new Getsemani church building site. BUT it is complete! Woohoo! One more step forward! It is a major milestone as this completes the floor and work on the walls can begin.

It is amazing to see the difference in how buildings are constructed in the United States vs Mexico. We were thankful that the workers had a cement mixer, making things much easier. Most times the men put the cement on the ground with the sand and mix it by hand.

We ask for your prayers as we continue to need financing (and patience) to complete this church building. We are all very anxious to have this new facility completed, we know it will be done in God’s time.  God is good ALL THE TIME! We stand in FAITH!

More Than a Building

Every Work of God Begins with Nothing

Having the cement mixer was a true blessing. Most cement projects are mixed completely by hand (click on a photo to see it larger).

Workers included members who volunteered from the church.

The raised area will become the stage once the building is completed.
