New Kids Club Ministry Fiesta

/in /by

Texas visitors with True Path Ministry and volunteers from the Centro Cristiana Getsemani Church in Galeana NL, Mexico teamed up to take a Christ centered Fiesta to the small village of El Derramadero on November 9, 2024. It was part of establishing a new Marcos 10:14 kids club in the village that does not currently have a Christian church.

Getsemani Church members Abraham and Lupita live in El Derramadero and want to bring more of Christ’s light to the area. Lupita and volunteer Perla are the teachers of the club which meets every Tuesday. This club will follow the same agenda as the Galeana Marcos 10:14 Kids Club: prayer, songs, games, Bible study, a craft and a light snack. We were blessed to be able to give each child a small gift and candy bag.

The older youth from the Centro Cristiana Getsemani Church were in the village a few hours before the event to go house-to-house inviting children to come have some fun in Jesus’ name.

The Galeana Marcos 10:14 Kids club has been meeting weekly since 2016. Many of the children who first began going to club are youth now and able to assist with the current club.

Texas visitors Will, Debby and Hope Loveless jointed missionaries Stephen and Tonyia Willams to travel to Galeana in support of the new club. We also used the time to prepare some of the gifts TPM will be giving out at Christmas.

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

New Kids Club in El Derramadero, NL, Mexico

/in /by

True Path Ministry Inc. and the Centro Cristiana Getsemani Church of Galeana NL, Mexico teamed up to take the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club to El Derramadero, NL, Mexico. A Fiesta complete with games, gifts, food and the Gospel was held in the village on Friday, September 20, 2024.

 It was the first of what will be a weekly meeting for the children in an area where there is no Christian church. A faithful group of volunteers from the Galeana church included adults and youth. Among the young people helping at the event were present and past members of the Marcos 10:14 Club in Galeana. Several have moved into becoming active Christian youth as they became older.

Please include in your prayers this new extension of the Marcos 10:14 club. The Lord has used the club to bring many children closer to Him.

But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Mark 10:14 (ESV)

Joy of Jesus to Mexico Villages Canoas and Refugio

/in /by

True Path Ministry Inc. sponsored two very successful one day VBS-like events for kids in two extremely remote Mexican villages. Faithful volunteers from the Centro Cristiana Getsemani Church of Galeana, NL, braved the treacherous roads to the villages in the TPM van. Recent flooding added more hazards to the normally challenging mountain paths making them barely passable by vehicle.

 Pastor Celodonio hosted the group in the worship area beside his home near Refugio on 22 July. Pastor Alfredo of Canoas was overjoyed to have the group in his small wooden church building on 23 July. In both places the kids and adults welcomed the group to a time of songs, worship, study and clothing giveaway. The kids enjoyed a special Christ-centered time that included, prayer, teaching, a craft project, games and gifts.

It is always a blessing to share the joy of Jesus in these remote villages that seldom see visitors. TPM shares the love of Christ in Mexico thanks to the favor of the Lord and the generous, prayer and financial help of our supporters.

For to this end we toil and strive,] because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things. 1 Timothy 4:10-11 (ESV)

Construction Progress in Purisima and New Church Roof in Pesqueria

/in /by

True Path Ministry Inc. is involved in building a new church building in Purisima, NL, Mexico. This church building will replace an event tent, which is being temporarily used as the church building. In another project, TPM funded a sheet metal roof for a small church near Monterrey. The church roof was recently destroyed by a storm.

Iglesia Dios esta Aqui, is in the small, remote, mountain village Purisima. Within the last few months, the temporary event tent was badly damaged by an intense windstorm. Pastor Rebecca and church members patched the tent back together but look forward to the Lord providing a new, solid, building. Construction on the new building was announced on May 26th (see Church Building Begins in Purisima).

The first phase of the project is nearing completion and includes footings, a retaining wall and foundation fill dirt. The work has established a solid and level foundation making a way for the walls to be added next. Church members, of all ages, are excited to see the building progress and often join in the construction work.

The La Iglesia Torre Fuerte 2 church located in Pesqueria, a small village near Monterrey, lost its roof during a windstorm. Pastor Corpus, wife Deyanira and church members continued to meet in the damaged structure. They trusted the Lord would provide the means to make the repairs. TPM was happy to be able to help the church make renovations.

There is still work needed at both locations. In Pesqueria, the building needs additional wall repairs, stucco and paint.

In Purisima construction will continue for several months. There is adequate funding to build the walls, but we are trusting that God will provide additional resources so that we can add a roof, doors, windows and all the other items that it will take to complete the project.

God works through the financial and prayer supporters of TPM to fund these construction projects in addition to the other ongoing needs of the ministry. We at TPM are grateful for this support – we could not do it without you! Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began (2 Timothy 1:9).

Galeana Mexico Area Needs Prayer after Major Flooding

/in /by

Tropical Storm Alberto left major flood damage in the Galeana, NL, Mexico area where True Path Ministry serves the Lord. The main road between Galeana and Linares is washed out in places and has been covered by landslides in other places.

This flood damage creates hardships for the people in the area as many workers travel daily to Linares for work. Plus, families in the small mountain villages are cutoff from access to supplies because of road damage.

Pastor Reynaldo and Lourdes of Centro Cristiana Getsemani Church in Galeana work closely with TPM and the remote villages. They have not been able to talk with pastor in places such as Purisima, Refugio, Canoas. They expect communication networks may be down in many areas. The roads to those places are difficult under normal conditions and are impassable after the heavy rains.

Pastor Reynaldo said the town of Galeana had flooding too and water even flowed into the Church building there, but no major damage. The area needs our prayers now. But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O Lord, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress.
You are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat. Isaiah 25:4 (NLT)
