New Redimidos de Crist (Redeemed of Christ) Youth

A recent addition to ministry in Galeana, NL, Mexico is the “Redimidos de Crist” (Redeemed of Christ) youth group.  The Lord moved Daniel and Iris, a young married couple, to establish and work with the the Christian youth group. They were specifically called to youth ministry in a dream Daniel had. They are members of Iglesia Getsemani church in Galeana. True Path Ministry and the church work closely together to serve the Lord in many ways; such as the weekly kids club, taking the gospel to remote villages and to build a new building for worship.

On a recent Saturday the Redimidos de Crist youth group used the True Path Ministry 1995 Suburban to take the gospel to the tiny mountain village Palmito. During the service Evangelist Ramiro preached, plus Pastor Ruben and the Galeana youth participated. In addition, the Galeana youth went door-to-door to pray with folks and to simply share the love of Jesus. The youth group is a welcomed new ministry that was sorely needed in the area. Praise the Lord!

God Promised to Bless Us

At a recent Marcos 10:14 Club meeting we discussed the reality that God promised to bless us. The lesson is part of a series of studies about the promises from God. The kids learned that when we seek God we experience His blessings.  But, we must realize the enemy wants to steal our blessings from God. When we turn our backs on Him we also turn away from His blessings.

The memory verse for this study was; “Blessings I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you” Hebrews 6:14. The craft project and games supported the lesson too. We hold kids club each week thanks in part to the many volunteers who help, the financial donations from folks like you and the prayers of many.

Songs are a part of every club meeting (click on a photo to see it larger).

Many of the kids said their memory verse for the week.

The games are always fun

A door hanger with the memory verse was the craft.

There is always preparation needed before club starts.

 

 

Jesus Promises

During the last few weeks the Marcos 10:14 Kids Club studies have focused on Jesus’ promises. On November 8, 2018 we taught the thirty children at the meeting that Christ promised He would pray for us. “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” 1 Timothy 2:5. Prayer is a vital and powerful tool for Christians. The prayer journal each child was given will help them record what concerns and joys they take to God as they meditate. The kids were attentive to the lesson and related activities. It was a good meeting. The kids also enjoyed Pizza and a popsicle as a special treat.

Part of the lesson was about how we were separated from God until Jesus bridged the gap with His blood at the cross (click on a photo to see it larger)

There is always a time of singing Christian songs.

The kids wrote down a concern they had and pray-fully cast it away.

They enjoyed decorating their new prayer journal.

Tonyia made the Pizza for Kids Club in our Galeana home.

The club tent now has lights, thanks to Daniel’s help.

 

 

Planting God’s Word in Rayones

The woman came forward “I want this Christ you talked about in my life.” Pastor Reynaldo prayed with her as she repented and opened her heart to a new life for Jesus. Pastor Rey’s text for his powerful sermon was from 2 Corinthians 5:17; “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

She was not the only one moved by the presence of God as the group from Galeana, NL, lead worship, kid’s time, handed out gifts and clothes. Both the givers and the receivers were blessed by a great day in the Lord.

Going to Rayones involved about a two hour drive to travel just 20 miles. The town is directly through the mountains on steep and very rough roads. While the drive may have been slow, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

A Christian tract was inside each child’s gift (click on a photo to see it larger).

Pastor Reynaldo brought a deeply moving message.

Juan gave his testimony how the Lord brought him through a serious medical issue.

Several others gave heart-felt testimonies.

Each child received a gift bag and a stuffed animal.

Clothing was laid out on a tarp.

Reading glasses were popular.

A good size group came from Galeana.

The road was difficult but beautiful.

Pastores Rosy of Rayones speaks to the audience as Pastor Armando looks on.

These believers meet under the trees. They have no building.

Palmito Praise

True Path Ministry’s Stephen and Tonyia Williams were part of a group of Christians from Galeana, NL, Mexico who went to worship with the people of the tiny mountain village Palmito. Pastor Ruben who is well into his 80’s has revised a small church there and we want to support his ministry. The church was very happy to see us. Evangelist Ramiro, Pastor Reynaldo, Pastor Lulu and others from Galeana were on hand for a moving time of worship. The kids were also treated to a special time for them including Bible learning and a small gift. It was a great day to lift up Christ in the mountains. Palmito is named for the multitude of dwarf palms that grow there.

Pastors Lulu and Ruben played some music together (click on a photo to see it larger)
