A group of Galeana area Christians joined a True Path Ministry team to take the gospel, clothes, toys and lots of prayers to Mimbres on Saturday, January 21st. It is a small, mountain-village about an hour northwest of Galeana. People from two churches in the small community joined together to sing praises, pray and hear a powerful message in an impromptu outdoor worship service.

The True Path Ministry suburban was loaded with people and stuff for the Mimbres adventure (click on a photo to see it larger).

Martin, wife Ana and daughter Genisis loaded all eleven people in the True Path Ministry suburban along with eight bags of clothes, toys and a “blessing bag” for the host of the event (it is a collection of staples such as sugar, coffee, flour, rice, beans, cooking oil and cookies). Pastor Jose (and his family), Evangelist Ramiro, Musician Juan and wife Sandra and a member of Jose’s church were along to bring the love of Jesus to the village.

During the worship service they joined local musicians and worshipers to lift praises to the Lord. They also met Jose Rodriquez and wife who are missionaries from the USA who happened to be in the area. “It was a wonderful day of worship and fellowship,” said Martin, with True Path Ministry.

Stephen and Tonyia Williams were in the USA on business. “I would have loved being part of the Mimbres event. But, it is good to know our Mexico ministry continues even when we are away,” said Stephen.

The local folks joined in with songs and testimonies.

Ramiro delivered a powerful sermon to the folks in Mimbres.

Juan plays the accordion beautifully.

Martin gave a word during the service.

Pastor Jose delivers a spirit-filled prayer.

It was a moving service.

It was a cool day for an outdoor service.

The Mimbres folks enjoyed picking out clothing for their families from the donated clothes the team brought.

After the service the group enjoyed a meal together.

Each child got a Christian tract explaining the gospel of grace and mercy of Jesus the Christ. (click on a photo to see it larger)

Do we ever feel like our Marcus 10:14 club is repetitious? I pray so. Repetition is all throughout the Bible. We do not consider it boredom as some might. If being repetitious for Jesus is boring, then that is our desire – to be boring! It is our privilege to share the word of the Lord with 40+ kids and adults EVERY Wednesday. Knowing that His word does not come back void!  (Isaiah 55: 11)  We plant the seeds and the Holy Spirit works to move hearts.

Yep, the message is repetitive, but presented in different ways, different stories and songs. The fun we have is also repetitive but we change the games. The club will always be a place where the kids know they will be loved, will learn about the gospel, will be fed and will have some fun.

We yearn to bring these children and adults who come with them to a knowledge of Jesus they have not known. Many of these children and adults do not even know who Jesus is. Please pray as we continue this ministry, that the Holy Spirit will move in power and use this club as a vessel to reach each one of these precious souls for Jesus. We pray in 2017 that we are – “MOVING IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!”

The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad (Psalms 126:3)

Each week Pastor Jose from Dieciocho de Marzo leads a time of song, usually with body motions.

When teacher Yessi is gone (she was ill this week) Martin teaches the Bible lesson.

One game this week was for two kids as a team to tie a knot using one hand each.

The kids laughed a lot during the game.

We always feed them. Ana is good to help with the meal each week.

This week Ana made what they call “Doritoes””

The kids like the food.
