Sharing in Elk Grove

 Greetings from Mexico in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our precious Lord and Savior.

This past August, I was privileged to have the honor of speaking with a women’s group at Rejoice ministries in Elk Grove, California. Some of the ladies that attended the event I have known for many years, and many I had the opportunity to meet that day last summer.

My friend, Martha Chavez, whom I have known for nearly 30 years, invited me to share my testimony. I also shared about the years of serving the Lord as a missionary in Mexico.

It was a sweet time of fellowship with sisters from all over the world. Some of the women shared recipes and taught us how to cook delicious dishes from other countries.



Here are pictures from my visit, and a link to a video of my testimony. I am not a great speaker, so I apologize. But I just wanted to share God’s work in my life and His grace and mercy directing my steps from there to here. 

I am so thankful for all the people He has put in my life to help me along the way. I could never have arrived where I am, nor continued to do what I do without friends and family. 

May God bless you as you seek Him and serve others..

In His loving embrace,

Toni

Tepeyac VBS 2023

Greetings in the merciful name of Jesus Christ. This week has been a wonderful time of reconnecting with friends from the First Baptist Church in Haskell. Vacation Bible school has started once again, and we are having classes in Tepeyac, San Carlos, and Remolino. Unfortunately, our vacation Bible school in Centinela was canceled due to illness. I am posting some pictures of the first two days of VBS in Tepeyac. I have enjoyed fellowship with all the wonderful people that came down from Texas, and the Goza‘s that came up from Guadalajara in Jalisco. It’s been great to reconnect and I miss English-speaking fellowship.

Here are pictures from this week in Tepeyac.

Tepeyac Kindergarten Mural

 Greetings from Coahuila, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. About a month ago I started a wall mural after being asked by the kindergarten moms to paint a wall they had recently constructed. For me, painting is therapeutic. They had no specifics and I gladly began the process of painting something that I hope would be a joy for the children for many years.

These are pictures from the final product.
