Memories of Mozambique

Greetings! I recently came across some photos taken on a mission trip my husband, Bill, took with our pastor at Aspermont Community Church, Larry Melton, back in 2007. The photos were so vibrant and inspiring, I thought I'd share them with you on the blog.

 Larry and Bill travelled through Mozambique, Africa for a month-long evangelistic journey, sharing the gospel in many areas, including Inhaminga. Rod and Ellie Hein are a big part of the ministry of Afrika Wa Yesu. (Africa for Jesus)

I think Bill's favorite part of the whole journey was the children. He would try to grab them and they would run from him, laughing like crazy. It was his game, since he couldn't communicate with them.

Bill has a powerful testimony and he loved sharing it
with men and women he met on their trip. 

Several churches made the trip possible, and the 2,000+ souls

that made decisions for Christ during this trip were fruit

of those donations, and Bill and Larry's testimonies.

May God continue to be glorified.

Shoebox Blessings for Mexico, 2017

Christmas Greetings from Tepeyac!

I pray this finds you encouraged and blessed, rejoicing in God's goodness during this past year.

We were able to spread some Christmas joy in our little corner of Mexico with some shoebox gifts from West Texas.

Three churches made this year's program a success, and we are sure that many families were blessed by their efforts. Aspermont Community Church, First Baptist Church of Swenson and First Baptist Church of Eagle Pass participated in this year's program.

I met Greg and Robin Goza, Joe and Mary McGlothlin and Rob Hartman. They brought a trailer full of gifts and Bibles, and we drove to San Carlos, Jarita, Palmira, Tepeyac and Centinella, distributing gifts and Bibles to the families we visited. It was a fun day, sharing the gospel with several individuals and sharing the love of Jesus with many.

We want to thank everyone that made this year's program such a success. God bless you for all you do, and we pray many seeds were planted with all the tracts and Bibles given out today.

God bless you as you share the love of Christ with those in your sphere of influence this holiday. Jesus is the reason for the season!

In His loving embrace,

Toni

Resurrection Day With Aspermont Community Church Friends

He Is Risen!

Pastor Greg Goza Sunday morning at Aspermont Community  Church.

Greetings in the powerful name of Jesus Christ!

What a glorious truth, knowing that Jesus gave his life on the cross for our sins, and was raised from the dead on the third day, and is alive today. Those of us who know the King are blessed and are called to share our faith with the lost around us.

 I was blessed to be able to spend last Sunday, Easter Sunday, with friends in Aspermont. For 10 years, Bill and I attended that church and those believers are still a big part of our lives.

Greg and Robin when they came for a visit last week.

The past few weeks have been busy for me and Greg and Robin's visit was as refreshing as a cold drink of water on a hot summer. I enjoyed our visit and we had a great time doing simple things together. We took baby rabbits to Piedras Negras to sell them, and visited with Alejandro and Veronica and the muchachos at the Rehab in Centinela.

After I left Aspermont on Sunday, I came to spend the week helping care for my granddaughters.  It has been a sweet visit and I took this picture of the clouds at sunset last week.

 This is a photo of some our little congregation in Centinela after the church service earlier this month. We try to have a potluck once a month, and more often, a fundraiser to help with the church and rehab expenses.

 The calf we've been helping our neighbors care for is thriving and we are so grateful.

Here's a YouTube video I uploaded of feeding

to the calf when it was sick two weeks ago.

These pictures were taken at past Children's Day Events in Tepeyac.

It's almost that time again, time for fun and games with the kids in our little area of Mexico. Children's Day is a big deal in Mexico, and these kids know how to have fun.

We pray the gospel message will be sown on fertile soil this year, in the hearts of children and parents alike.

If you are interested in helping us with this effort, please contact  me by email or text message. My information in listed in the comments section of this week's blog. Saturday and Sunday are our planned event days in two different pueblos. We appreciate your prayers for us as we share the love of Jesus and the gospel message with these precious souls.

I am so grateful for your interest in this blog. God bless you as you serve the King of Glory.

In His loving embrace,

Toni
