Sharing the bond of Christian Love in Refugio

Stephen and Tonyia Williams, founders of True Path Ministry, joined with volunteers from the Centro Cristiana Getsemani church including Pastors Reynaldo and Lourdes, to travel deep into the mountains to share the joy of Christ. Refugio is located at the end of a challenging dirt road that clings to the side of steep mountains. But it was worth the travel obstacles.

The service was held under an awning that TPM volunteers built some years ago. It is beside pastor Celedonio’s house and serves as his church building. Soon after arriving, the group is fed by the pastors in their home. Once everyone has eaten, the service begins. It was a beautiful time of fellowship, worship and testimonies followed by Evangelist Ramiro’s powerful sermon. He preached about the calling on each of our lives from the Bible book 1 Corinthians 7:20.

Teacher Ana took the children to a separate area for their own time of uplifting activities. She prepared a lesson about becoming a soldier for Christ. She used Ephesians 6:10-17, commonly called the “The Whole Armor of God.” The time began with fun songs that included motions. A game and a craft were added along with the Bible reading and teaching. The kids were engaged in the time and Christ was honored. The time was ended with every child receiving a goody bag with candy and other treats.

It was a great day of sharing the bond of Christian love and the fellowship of believers. The Bible says: Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2 NLT)
