April

Jesus said, ''Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.''

Matthew 19:14

April is children's month here in Mexico, because the 30th of April is Children's Day.  We were able to take advantage of this holiday by having several evangelistic outreaches connected with local churches.  Praise God that many children heard the gospel message for the first time and made the decision to accept Christ!  

Ephesus Church in Estado de Mexico

Since this activity was with kids who are part of the church, our theme was the Great Commission.  Mark 16:15 was our memory verse-- Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.  Here we are dedicating our lives to share this message.  We also took time to pray for the kids on each continent who need to hear and receive.

Jesus the Good Shepherd Church, Federal District

This outreach was a breakthrough for the church because it is just beginning.  But praise God the members worked very hard to invite kids from the neighborhood.  The enemy tried to keep us from sharing the message because it rained, and our program was cut a bit short because we had to move inside.  However, we were still able to finish with a salvation drama and the call to respond-- which many took.  Amen!  And, who knows, maybe it was good to get them inside the building so they aren't afraid to come back!

Emmanuel Church, Distrito Federal

Here we partnered with a clown ministry that the church has.  The place was packed with kids and adults.  In this lesson, our focus was that God's love never fails.  We presented various object lessons and skits to help the kids understand that the love of the world isn't perfect but God's love is, and it never runs out.  They were touched with the truth and received.

 Jesus the Savior Church, Federal District

This was a miracle gathering.  A political figure decided to have his function for kids the same day, on the same street, one hour before our event. But God- as always- used it for good.  Thankfully, his event wasn't as exciting as the people had hoped and they came flocking to ours!  It was an exciting time to share about God's infinite love with more than 500 neighbors!

Love and Faith Church, Estado de Mexico

We got to be a part of this children's event where the church meets in a community park every Sunday.  It's an excellent location, because it's surrounded by apartment complexes.  So people are hearing the message even when they're in their apartments! Here our message was about the great exchange that Jesus made for us: He payed for our sins and in return gave us eternal life!

Thanks for reading! My apologies for posting so late, but we've had a busy beginning of May, too.  We continually need your prayers for God's message to go forth in power!  Thank you for supporting us.  May you all continue to be amazed by our God's love and share it with those around you.

A special thanks to all you who support us financially.  We praise God for you.
