God Changes Hearts in Mexico through Volunteers

"Central Baptist Church, Temple, Ga., did an incredible job on this mission trip…they did everything asked of them and more," stated resident missionaries David and Pam W.

Six OP Go volunteers, under the leadership of Bryan Cox, worked with Mexican Baptists and IMB missionaries to hand out 5,000 Gospels in four areas around Tultitlan, Mexico.

The IMB missionaries tell the following heartwarming story of God at work.

"Bryan Cox's team on Wednesday left a Gospel at a house with a young man, Isaac, and his 75-year-old mother. When they were heading back to the car for lunch, Isaac came down the street with tears in his eyes asking for more information. The group was able to lead Isaac to Christ who also wanted the group to share with his mother. The volunteers made their way back to Isaac's house and led his mother to the Lord as well. That evening they both showed up for the service where Joe Owen preached the Gospel. Both came forward to confirm their decision in the presence of over 200 people. The next two days Isaac showed up to help with the saturation project."

Even with the team's limited Spanish, they blended with the nationals in an incredible way by speaking a message of love through their actions. Their obvious humility and Christlike behavior, helped demonstrate to people God's message of salvation and truth.

Through the efforts of the volunteers, the Op GO team and the dedicated Mexican Baptists, the Father used them as vessels to bring many to His throne. Yet there are a host of people who have never heard. Allow God to use YOU and help fulfill the Great Commission. Volunteer your time to be on a mission trip and gain a new perspective for other cultures. When you sow seeds of faith, and interact with the lost, it allows others to experience the grace of God through you.
