The church building in San Luis Potosi now has a roof, windows, and doors. Thanks to the favor of the Lord and True Path Ministry supporters. Pastor Faustino Garcia has faithfully proclaimed the gospel weekly for years under a make-shift shelter.
We were able to help the church add a roof some months ago. We are excited to announce that the windows and doors have now been added. They have been praying that God would provide the means to finish the building. They are one step closer to completing God’s house in El Nacimiento, in the state of San Luis Potosin, Mexico.
A concrete floor, stucco covering over the outside walls and permanent wiring are still needed, but the congregation is proud to see the progress the Lord has brought. TPM is grateful that Christ is using us for His Kingdom in this area.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth,” said Jesus (Acts 1:8 NLT).

April 25, 2024 the children of the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club came together to celebrate the day of the child. This is a yearly holiday in Mexico observed on April 30.
The kids prayed together before getting on the train. The children and adults were driven through the streets of Galeana as they sang praises to Jesus and waved their flags which said “Jesus my faithful friend.” The side of the train displayed a large banner promoting kids club, letting everyone know they are invited to this weekly time of devotion to Jesus.
Children are important to True Path’s Ministry, but most important to Jesus!
Mark 10:14 says; When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Psalm 126:3 reminds us, Children are a gift from the Lord.
Thank you to all who contribute to this important ministry for Jesus! We couldn’t do it without your prayers and financial faithfulness!

Saturday, February 17, 2024, Stephen and Tonyia Williams with True Path Ministry, friends: Dana and Phillip Langer and Will and Debby Loveless; Evangelist Rulis, his wife and members of Centro Cristiano Getsemani had planned to go to Refugio, a very remote mountainous village. Well, God had other plans.
We woke up to heavy rain in Galeana and when we arrived to gather the group from the church to leave, we were told that Pastor Selodonio from Refugio had let them know that the road to Refugio was not safe to travel, too much rain. We began to ask Pastor Rey, with Centro Cristiano Getsemani, if there was another village that would be safe to go to. He determined that we could safely go to San Ildefonso. It is a mountain village several hours away, but the road was more rocky and not as treacherous.
Lulu and son Abdiel, with Centro Cristiano Getsemani, sang and played drums for worship. Tonyia with TPM and the Texas group were called forward and introduced. Evangelist Rulis preached a powerful message while teacher Ana took the kids to a different room.
Ana spoke an important message to the kids and several accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. Each child put together a special art project which let the children know how much God loves them. The kids were excited to recite their scripture verse and received a special treat.
After services were complete, each child was given a backpack with school supplies, a gift and a Christian tract. Then giant snow flacks began to fall just as we began our return trip to Galeana. The beauty of it just added to an already good time. At end of the day we realized our trip to San Ildefonso is what God had in mind for us.
Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.

Steve and Tonyia with True Path Ministry and 17 members of the Central Cristiano Getsemani church, Galeana, NL, Mexico travelled deep into the mountains to bring the word of the Lord to Refugio on December 22, 2023.
Going to Refugio is always a special time. Pastor Selodonio and his family are faithful servants of Jesus. Once arriving, we were fed a delicious meal. When most of the families arrived, services began. Many walked or rode donkeys long distances to attend the service.
Lulu led the singing which included the group from Iglesia Getsemani singing a beautiful praise song. Steve and I were introduced, and Lulu read Ephesians 2:11-22 and explained How Jesus brought peace between God and all people. He did this by “tearing down walls” that separated us by his death on the cross. Which made it possible for everyone to united by faith in Christ. She went on to say how we are not promised tomorrow and that if they had not received Jesus in their heart, that today was the day.
It was a special day of testimony and prayer. One woman who has cancer mentioned that she was in remission and believed Christ is the reason for her healing. She talked about how it had been difficult be she was holding fast to her faith.
Another testimony, a man said he had been praying for 4-5 years for his wife to know Jesus but she wouldn’t listen to him. But God opened her heart and she was there with him and is now a Christian.
We have been visiting this ranch since 2011 and it is an honor to see the work the Lord is doing in this place. Not just physical but spiritual growth.
After the testimonies, Pastor Rey preached on Luke 15:11-31. Once we were all lost but now we are found and children of the most High King. There are many people who do not know Jesus and do not understand the blessings Christians received knowing Jesus. Some may have left their first love, Jesus, but it is not too late to repent and return to Jesus. Jesus says in Luke 15:17 that there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents. Now matter our circumstance, it is time to receive Jesus or return to Him.
After Pastor Rey completed his sermon, several came forward for prayer. We anointed and prayed for everyone that came forward. One lady will be having a kidney operation and we prayed and believed for her healing.
The children also had a time of prayer, worship, and teaching from the Bible. Their teaching focused on the fact that Jesus was the greatest gift.
Boxes full of gifts for each child were brought down off the top of the van. Each boy received a backpack with school supplies, and a soccer ball and Christian tract. Each girl received a backpack with school supplies, a drink tumbler, fingernail polish and Christian tract. The preschool children received small backpacks with toys and a tract.
Blankets were given to each family, sweaters, handmade dresses for the girls, toboggans, caps for the men and candy.
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NLT)

(Note: many photos below the article) Stephen and Tonyia with True Path Ministry, Donna and Jim Jones from Texas and 15 members of Iglesia Central Cristiano Getsemani church, Galeana, NL, Mexico travelled to the small mountain village, Canoas, on December 20, 2023.
Pastor Alfredo met us as we were parking the vehicles. We said our greetings and were then invited to eat. Part of the group went to Pastor Alfredo’s house and the other part went to Francisco and Noehemi’s house, they are faithful members of Alfredo’s church. It was a blessed time visiting with the Pastor, his wife Alicia and some family members. After eating, we made the short walk back to the church.
The small wooden church building filled up as the congregation sang several songs, led by Galeana’s pastor Lulu. During the service the Galeana group came to the front and sang. Afterwards, Steve, Tonyia, Donna and Jim came forward. I explained that we come to Canoas not for ourselves but because our desire is to spread the word of God and for all to be saved.
Several more deeply spiritual songs were sang then Pastor Rey preached for the church members as the children were dismissed with Ana to go outside for their own special time.
Galeana’s Pastor Rey preached on Matthew 25:1-13. We must be ready and prepared every day because Jesus is coming back. He explained that salvation is personal and can’t come from your mom or dad. We don’t know how long we will be on earth, so we must stay ready to meet our Lord.
At the end of the service Pastor Rey asked if anyone was moved to publicly commit their heart to Jesus. Pastor Alfredo’s granddaughter, age 20, came forward. Pastor Rey prayed with her that she receive Jesus as a permanent part of her life. Tonyia gave her an RVR 1960 Bible which we had brought for such occasion.
Pastor Rey then called for anyone that wanted prayer to come forward. Many came and we anointed them with oil and prayed for each one.
Outside, once the kids completed their song time, Ana taught the children on the Christmas story. Each one also completed a manger scene-craft that included their name.
Every kid was given a candy bag and the preschool children received a small backpack with gifts. Every school age boy received a backpack with school supplies, a hygiene pack and a soccer ball. Every school age girl received school supplies, a hygiene pack and a drink tumbler. Each backpack also included a Christian tract.
We also handed out blankets, caps and toboggans. But before we said our goodbyes, a member of the church whom we had prayed for at a previous visit, ask for prayer again. Her cancer had returned. We prayed and believe with her and her family for her healing.
We said goodbye and headed towards a village just down the mountain from Canoas called Palo Gacho. When we visit the area we always stop and usually give them candy and a stuffed animal but this year, we wanted to bless them with backpacks.
The preschool kids got a small backpack with gifts and the school age kids got larger backpacks with school supplies, a hygiene pack and a gift. They also were given candy, toboggans and blankets. Lulu asked the lady if the village had a church and she said no. Pastor Rey prayed for them and invited them to come to Canoas the next time they came through. Which should not be too long.
TPM and Iglesia Getsemani work together to send out a mission team to take the gospel monthly to the many tiny mountain villages in the areas.
Wow, what a blessing the day was serving our Lord Jesus the Christ in Canoas!
