Pastor Gabriel and his wife Laura are church planters in Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico. They have worked with the Mexican Baptist Convention in the state of Hidalgo for several years, and hold services weekly in their home. They wanted to build relationships with even more of their neighbors, but needed help to accomplish this task.
The Lord answered Pastor Gabriel's need by sending five members of the First Baptist Church of Charleston, MS, to work with him and several Operation GO missionaries. The goal of the trip was to saturate an area with the Gospel and search for people not affiliated with any church yet open to learning about the Bible.
During the week, over 3,000 Gospels were distributed, and FBC Charleston invited the children of Colnia de Los Maestros to a mini Bible school so they could learn about Jesus. Praise God, after the message, 25 children accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. It was a wonderful week of building relationships between the pastor and his neighbors.
Aching backs and sore knees (from walking steep trails and hiking over rugged terrain) did not deter the volunteers from accomplishing their task. Even though their Spanish was limited, they boldly shared the Truth so the people could see the Light.
Join us in praying that the new believers will find the courage to share their faith so others will know God's touch and have the opportunity to receive His love.
