Equipped Spiritually, Physically and Emotionally Results in Success on the Field

What happens when a volunteer team arrives fully prepared with a strong team leader? God uses them to His full capacity to reach those who have never heard the Truth.

Missionary Verna T. worked with six members of Bear Creek Baptist Church, Cypress, TX, along with about 23 Mexican Baptists from IB Elienai (a large Mexican Baptist Church) to saturate a very rural area in San Miguel. Their objective was to facilitate ongoing efforts of four families in San Miguel who have a small house church. San Miguel is in a more rural area with no evidence of other Baptist churches or missionaries.

The Mexican Baptist volunteers traveled 45 minutes each morning to do Gospel Outreach with the Bear Creek workers. The result was 11 Bible Studies requested 44 visits requested and 87 salvations that the workers from Elienai will follow up and disciple.

Missionary Verna T states:

"Pastor Ezequiel of Elienai trains his deacons well and is committed to planting new churches and working together with small house churches into a greater work to reach the people of San Miguel for the Lord.

The team came well equipped spiritually, physically, and emotionally to serve because of the preparation offered them by team leader, Jeff Hastings. This was a fun group that was spiritually mature with much to offer. They built warm relationships with church members at San Miguel and we pray will return next year.

While the small community was celebrating "San Miguel", with the Catholic square and a portion of the town blocked from traffic, these teams quietly worked the streets, going door-to-door sharing Christ.

In all our humanity, we might have said that a house church of only four families was not ready for an Operation GO Project. How would transportation be provided for all with only one Dodge Ram IMB van? How would we bridge the main highway to work across the railroad tracks to reach the greater San Miguel community? Where would we meet and how would we be fed? God planned it all and the fruit is all His.

When people who love the Lord and love each other enough to travel and reach out to neighbors for Jesus, God does amazing things. Thanks be to God for pastors who step out on faith to encourage missions, encourage the building of house churches, and take their time to train up and teach their own church members how to share the Gospel. I love it when a plan comes together!? To God be the glory and we praise Him for letting us participate in His works."

Pray and ask your church to get involved with Operation GO and help saturate other areas of Mexico that have no presence of the Lord. We are all responsible for spreading the Gospel. Missionaries cannot handle this massive task alone. The Lord will bless you for your willingness to serve. Could there be any better feeling in your heart than to know you went to the ends of the earth to proclaim His Word?
