Uplifting Marco 10:14 Club Meeting

There were lots of smiles and loads of Jesus’ love shared with the 40 or so kids at the Marcos 10:14 kid’s club when they met on Wednesday (August 3rd) at Casa Cristana El Alfarero (the ministry house).  Yessi, Martin, Ana and several other adults (Stephen and Tonyia are in the USA) stayed busy keeping up with the kid’s activities.

The kids who recited their memory verses selected a prize.

Yessi lead a fun, Bible-based program that involved the kids every step of the way. One of the activities was to get them to wrap paper around a volunteer to illustrate how God wraps his love around each of us. Yessi had some of the kids sit on a blanket on the ground as she read to them the story about Jesus feeding the five thousand (Matthew 14:15-21). She told them how he put them in groups on the ground.

Several kids recited their memory verses perfectly and earned the privilege of selecting a prize. Martin treated all the kids to a little candy treat, plus they all had a cold drink and snack at the end of the two hour meeting.

The Lord was surly smiling too as the children grew closer to Him and had a good time doing it. It was a wonderful evening at the Marcos 10:14 club meeting – all glory to God!

Cooked Meals Delivered to Elderly

About 20 home bound elderly were blessed again this week with a good meal delivered to their door. On Tuesday (August 2nd)  Nuevo Corazon Galeana teamed up with True Path Ministry to prepare and deliver the meals. It is always a joy and a blessing to serve the Lord along with the food. Glory to Christ who is the King of kings.

This wonderful program needs more funding. If you would like to help out go to our “support” page.

Christ Chapel Involved in the Spread of the Gospel in Mexico

About 40 people showed up on a Wednesday night (July 27th) at Christ Chapel to hear from True Path Ministry and how God is using this ministry to spread the gospel in the Galeana, Nuevo Leon area of Mexico. Stephen and Tonyia, the founders of the organization, have had connections with Christ Chapel for many years. “We are so very thankful to have this Bandera church support the work of True Path Ministry,” said Tonyia.

Over 30 people were at Christ Chapel in Bandera, Texas to hear about the Gospel in Mexico.

Stephen prepared and shared 36 power point slides and lots of stories about their experiences as new missionaries in the foreign country. The ministry has three primary focuses: the Marcos 10:14 kids club; assisting with Nuevo Corazon Galeana (New Heart) ministry -the elderly feeding program; and the Gospel on the Move, which takes the love of Jesus to remote, under served areas of Mexico.

They also shared stories about the wonderful Christians with whom they work in Mexico such as Martin, Ana, Pastor Francisco, Estella, Juan, Sandra, Pastor Reynaldo, Pastor Jose, Pastor Israel, Evangelist Ramiro, Evangelist Mesa, Pastor Hernandez and others.

The church enjoyed hearing how the effect of the hugs at the first Marcos 10:14 club meeting wasn’t only powerful for the kids but meant a lot to the “Huggers”-Stephen, Tonyia, Martin and Pastor Jose’s wife, Pera.  The church also listened intently when I spoke about the impact of visiting an elderly woman who had not seen anyone for months .

“I also told about the joy the True Path Ministry team receives from going to the remote tiny villages and how the people are so hungry for the word. They are so excited to have us come, hear the word and worship with them,” said Stephen.

There were numerous questions from the curious and involved audience. It was a fun night discussing the work of our Lord!

Pastor David closed the service with the congregation surrounding Tonyia and I. They laid hands on us and prayed blessings for the glory of God through our continued work in Mexico. What a beautiful time with Jesus! We are so honored and humbled!!

Please continue to pray for the True Path Ministry team that we will keep our eyes focused on Jesus that He may be glorified. If you would also like to contribute financially visit our “support” page at this website.

An Exciting Night at Marcos 10:14 Kid’s Club

About 40 kids gathered Wednesday (July 27th) between rain showers for the weekly Marcos 10:14 Kid’s club meeting. It was a special evening as several kids took the mic and accurately recited their memory Bible verses. “It was a blessing to see because I know some of these kids have never been exposed to the Bible,” said True Path Ministry’s Martin Martinez. For their diligence they got to select a special prize.

Yessi, the True Path Ministry teacher, always includes a Bible story as a center piece for everything. This week it was the story about Jesus and the woman from Samaria at the water well. It is found in John 4:1-45. The group also enjoyed prayers, fun games, a craft project and a light snack.

We were pleased to hear from Martin about the meeting (Stephen and Tonyia are in the USA). He mentioned it was a rainy day so he prayed the Lord would pause the down pours for two hours – long enough for the gathering. The moisture stopped just before time to start and began again afterward. It was a good evening to glorify the Lord.
