Hi all dear brothers, I write with pleasure from the city of Lerdo Durango Mexico, we are working on our second mission trip, we traveled for 15 days ago, to live in this new city and there will be another Christ Church in this city.
New Church in Lerdo
This is exciting work for God and start new challenges, I do not think you can live or do anything in my life, this is the purpose of God in me.
This new city is very different from Parral Chihuahua, this is a bigger city and people are living in a great sin, we have many colonies as many gangs throughout Mexico and unfortunately with much violence, so we have much work to do.
We can not sit with folded hands, this is our country, this is our generation, this is our faith, we will save souls for Christ, that I'm sure.
Now we start to do field work for the next 6 months, these months are very important as we will to meet this new city, through evangelism, studies at home (small groups) and campaigns, this will be our letter presentation with our new friends.
This will be a busy time "we will fish in a big sea and we need to throw a lot of hooks." But we trust completely in God's blessing in this new venture.
I also am happy because I have news that the church remains steadfast in Parral faith, I am constantly asking for my children and brother Mares who is ministering to this church.
The farewell was very emotional, tears and love from all my brothers, but they understand that the missionary has to keep working and traveling to new cities, such is the commandment "Go into all the world preaching the gospel"
I would like to finish my career in this world to go with the satisfaction of having "served my generation through obedience to God"
