The Mission Diaries

A few weeks ago the church in Puebla, Mexico, decided to have a special “Family Day” service. The purpose was for each disciple to spend the day and do something of spiritual impact with their family.

Francisco Reyes (left), who is the church’s administrator, decided to do something great. He planned a lunch and a house church service, and he invited both his and his wife’s families. Stepping out on faith, they trusted that all the relatives they invited would attend. The outcome was fantastic: twenty relatives came to their house church service!

Francisco shared a short Bible study, however the highllight was that he was also able to resolve several differences with some of the family members. At the end of the short service, there were tears and hugs and a more unified family. Several relatives decided to begin studying the Bible!

In a few weeks the Los Angeles Church will once again glorify God with its annual Missions Contributions. Their sacrifice will help our brothers and sisters in Mexico and Central America as they continue to take the gospel of Christ to their people. As in previous years, the missions contribution is targeted to meet the needs of specific congregations.

In Mexico, MCA Missions provides direct financial support to four large congregations: Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, and Puebla (see the attached map.) These four churches, in turn, provide spiritual and other material support to other churches in their geographic areas. We also support Gilberto and Angelica Tello who lead the church in Cancun. We want you to know more about these churches. Here is an update from Monterrey…

Recently the three churches of the Central Mexico region known as “El Bajío” met together in Aguascalientes for a special Sunday service. Disciples of Jesus from the church in Leon, Guanajuato, and from the recently-planted church in San Luis Potosí, joined the host church of Aguascalientes for this special occasion.

Over 100 people packed the small meeting hall and received powerful Bible lessons from Fernando and Claudia Avila (Leon), Omar Lara (San Luis Potosí) and Alberto Machuca (Aguascalientes) The worship service was followed by a meal and a time of prayer.
