Gospel, Gifts and Fellowship in Refugio
A group traveling with True Path Ministry on December 31st took the gospel, gifts and the joy of Christian fellowship to Refugio, NL, Mexico, an extremely remote mountain village. Normally it is a rough couple of hours to drive clinging to the edge of mountains on challenging dirt roads. But on this day we encountered snow making this trip even more of an adventure.
We held our service at Pastor Selodonio’s home church awning near Refugio. He faithfully serves as pastor to four remote churches in small villages scattered throughout the mountains. He and his wife and family are committed to a life of service to Christ. A group from his churches traveled in to worship with us, see the kid’s get gifts and to enjoy the first outsiders to be there in a long time. It was a joy filled day praising the Lord!
For this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10 (ESV)
