This last Monday we started our Biggest Conference of the Year which is our “Conferencia de los Fundamentos.” This year we invited Pastor Luis Ramos from San Luis Potosí, Pastor Luis Parada from Long Beach, CA, and Pastor Alejandro Córdova from Celaya, Guanajusto. It was a great Bible conference to say the least. God blessed…
Today was a good day! Not that past Sundays haven’t. But today was our last day (out of seven weeks) of our Spring campaign. Praise the Lord we had 173 people in church. I believe that we had over 46 first time visitors and 7 of them got saved! Not including many kids that also…
Today we had an exciting evening. We had a bon fire at our church after our evening church service. It all started with my wife Nicole teaching our Sunday School teenage girls two weeks ago. She mentioned that we needed to get rid of our worldly possessions and let God use them more effectively. I…
God has blessed us with a wonderful youth group. We have about 35 young men and women that attend our Sunday School class every Sunday. Alejandro Ruiz, who is the youth pastor is doing a tremendous job. Last Friday some of the men went camping to a place named “Ex Hacienda de Chautla”, which is…
Hi, This last week we had the opportunity to have with us Evangelist Dale Aguiar. Bro. Aguiar is bro. Tim’s Aguiar dad, missionary here in Puebla. They came for a week to visit his son and we also invited him to preach in our church. It was a tremendous blessing to hear him preach. It…
Yesterday, as we were parked right in front of the church our spare tire was stolen! Can you believe that? I guess being in Mexico all things are possible. Well, the Bible says that we should give thanks for everything, so we are thankful that are tire was stolen and not one of our kids….
Well, it has been a busy week. Last Tuesday we started our vacation Bible School. This time was not near the church, but about 1 hour away — still in the city limits of Puebla. The name of the place is Colonia Azteca, which is on the East side of the city of Puebla. Our…
Ok. I will start by saying how proud I am of our daughter Rachel. She has been taking piano lessons since September last year. Yesterday she played the piano during the church offering and she did pretty good. I actually did not know that she was going to play the piano. I guess it was…
Well, last week baby #7 wanted to be born. Only wanted. I had to take Nicole to the hospital Monday morning and Doctor Berta Gil with some IVs stopped her contractions. At that time Nicole was 32 weeks pregnant. She also got some shots (I guess that is how they are called) to help the…
Last Saturday we had the opportunity to go bowling for the first time with the married couples of our church. At least we have two good bowling allies in Puebla and they are 100 yards apart. We had 5 couples that went and we had a blast! Many of them had never been bowling before….
This last Saturday we went to Aguascalientes. Pastor Juan Padilla invited me to preach at his Family Conference. Pastor Danny Ortiz from Texas was also there Thursday and Friday. By the way, if you can pray for his wife… when he arrived from Mexico on Saturday, he had to take his wife to the ER…
Well, lately its been raining here in Puebla. Which is really unusual. Normally it rains during the summer time, and we are able to see the volcanoes full of snow all during this time. Puebla is surrounded with 4 volcanoes. 3 of them are very close, and 3 of them are the highest mountains in…
Last Saturday, during soulwinning, my wife and I had the opportunity to go out together. Going with my wife is one of my highlights of the week. I miss her when she has to stay at the house due to her pregnancy problems. But praise the Lord she is doing much better and Saturday we…
Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to Tulancingo, Hidalgo and visit the church Iglesia Bautista La Zarza. Pastor Miguel Angel Gomez asked me to preach for a Special Sunday. Our drive from Puebla was very nice, considering that now we can travel on a new highway called Arco Norte. Before, to go to Tulancingo,…
Yesterday we took one step forward towards the growth of our church here in Mexico. It was not an easy decision, and required of much prayer and counsel. Yesterday we divided our church in half… well, not really, but we started two services for Sunday morning (one at 8:30 AM and the second one at…
We are back from our quick trip to the United States. We needed to go to renew the permit of our van for another 6 months. This time, is under Nicole’s name; this way, after we get her FM3, we don’t have to go back to the border. Instead, we can extend the permit for…
During the last 10 Wednesday nights we have had a class called: First Steps, in which new believers take a Discipleship lessons. We only allow them to miss one class and Praise the Lord, all of them were faithful during all 10 weeks! We will post some pictures later.
