Great Trip to Mexico City!

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." 3 John 1:4

      Lisa and I experienced similar emotions during our recent trip to Mexico City. Eight years after our departure, the Iglesia Bautista de Fe remains strong. The people are growing in their relationship with Christ, their lives are being transformed by the power of the Gospel, and they are effectively sharing their faith with those around. them.

     Lisa and I traveled to Mexico for nine days in mid-November to participate in the church's twelfth anniversary. This was a special day of renewed acquaintances, encouraging worship, and a delicious banquet.
     You may remember that several years ago the church suffered the loss of their pastor due to infidelity. Currently the church is being pastored by Jorge Rodríguez. We praise the Lord that God continues to build the church and we ask that you would continue to pray for their growth as well as the calling of a Mexican pastor.
     A few days later Lisa and I traveled by bus to Irapuato, a city some 200 miles northwest of Mexico City. Missionary lacy Wheeler serves as a distributor of EBI materials in the central section of Mexico. I was able to preach in his church, visit his bookstore, and strategize about better means of literature distribution.
     On Friday, we returned to Mexico City to minister at the Iglesia Bautista Roca Eterna. Pastor Eduardo Ortiz is a student in the MABS Program that EBI offers through Piedmont International University- God is using Pastor Ortiz in an amazing way. During our time together with them we were able to visit and present the Gospel to several unsaved families that were visiting the church. I was also able to speak at a deacon{s retreat on Saturday and then preach twice at the church on Sunday.
     We praise the Lord for a great trip and for all that He is doing in Mexico.
