On June 1st, we left our beloved church in Puebla and took an Aeromexico flight from Mexico City to Reynosa, Tamaulipas. (Reynosa is a Mexican city that is right on the border.) Then Pastor Tim Aguiar picked us up in a Suburban at the airport. We had a lot of luggage, but all of our…
Furlough 2021 A few months ago, on one of our trips to the United States, I was detained at the Dallas airport by an immigration officer for a few minutes, because I still do not have my American citizenship. (I am currently a resident.) They told me that I had to fix my resident status…
New Sending Church Three years ago during a Conference in Houston, TX, we had the opportunity to meet Pastor Bob Gray Jr. It was a great blessing to hear him, so we invited him to preach at our church in Puebla. A few months later he came to preach at our church and it was…
Praise the Lord we are all doing fine as a family during this pandemic. Although I have two uncles that contracted the virus, but praise the Lord, they recovered quick and are doing fine! They live three hours away. Here in Puebla, the city was never shut down completely, but some restrictions were put into…
God has allowed us to stay strong during this time of coronavirus. Our church was able to keep its doors opened but we had to divide our church services in two, in order to accommodate fewer people in our facilities. One service starts at 10:00 AM and the second service starts at 11:30 AM. Our…
Vacation Bible Schools July and August are always sooo busy in our church. This time around we had the opportunity to have our Vacation Bible Schools in seven different areas of our city. Some of our students of our Bible Institute helped as leaders in each one of our VBS. At the end of VBS…
About three months ago, Mrs Garcia, a widow, contacted a member of church asking us to please send someone to start a church. It happens that, about five years ago, when her husband died, the church that they had at their house for 25 years also died. It used to be a baptist church, but…
Last month we celebrated our 9th Annual Leadership Conference here in our church. It was exciting and we for sure saw the hand of God move within our midst. Pastor Bob Gray, from Longview, TX, came to preach for the first time. We also had with us Pastor Oscar Galván, from Sahuarita, AZ; Pastor Ezequiel…
Wow! I cannot believe we have been here in Mexico over 15 years! When we first arrived, it was only my wife, and our three-month old baby, Japheth. Now, we are nine in our family (including my wife and I), and our church in doing amazing! Ministries are growing, souls are being saved, and families are…

We have been here in Mexico for 16 years now. We have started three mission churches here in our city. (Our goal is to start twenty.) We have two other national pastors that have started two other works outside our state. We have a Bible Institute with 19 students right now. Our church is growing….
Construction We moved to our new building the first week in July. Since then, our membership has grown about 20%! Our people is very excited about the new place and we believe soon we will fill this place up! The new building that we bought is like a big warehouse and needs lots of construction…
To all who have been praying for us for a new place for our church, thank you! We finally bought a property for our church that is a little more than three times the size of our former church! We moved last Friday and on Sunday we celebrated our 14th church anniversary in our new…

We Found a New Property For The Church We have been praying now for about two years for God to give us a bigger place for our church. Two weeks ago we found one property that is about 15 blocks from our church and in the same main street where we are. The place is…
Drugs and More… Last week, as my wife and I were out soulwinning with the church, we had the opportunity to talk to Angel. He told us that he had been trying to stop using drugs, but he always fails. He also said that the JW’s had visited him, and that he sometimes had prayed…

This morning, as I was outside our church, dismissing people, a man came up to me, and told me: “I am disappointed of my church. I need to know the truth. I need help. My mother died few years ago, and I have tried to commit suicide. I have tried so many times to kill…
We’ve been driving through the thick fog for more than an hour through the high mountains of Hidalgo. I have been invited to preach in a small church, and Bro. Javier Gonzalez is with me, along with his young son, Pablo. My iPhone has long-time-ago lost cellphone signal, but the GPS part of it still…
First of all, let me say that we have been so blessed to be serving our Lord here in Mexico. We are very thankful for all of His blessings and all the things that he allowed us to do in His service. We pray that God will help us do more this 2015, and we…
