Visiting Corpus Christi

Greetings from Mexico in Jesus’ mighty name!

I recently had a wonderful 5 days visiting friends at Primera Iglesia Bautista in Corpus Christi, Texas, and I am so grateful for the time we shared. It was great spending time with friends I hadn’t seen in some time, and meeting some new friends. Primera Iglesia has been supporting the ministry for many years, and have been prayer partners, which is the most important part of supporting a ministry.

These sisters and one brother joined us for a wonderful breakfast at Kiko's Restaurant.

What a blessing to pray with these men and women of God, and to know that they are lifting Bill and me up in prayer as well.

These girls were part of the Girls In Action Ministry at Primera Iglesia Bautista

Goofing Around with the girls!!!

Hermana Nena and Hermana Sonia loaded me up with clothes, shoes, household items, depends and lots more donations for Mexico. What a blessing! My van was loaded nearly to the roof!

It was a visit I won’t soon forget, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in this blog. I especially appreciate your prayers. May God be glorified in each of our lives as we serve the King of kings.

In His mighty grip,

Toni

Visiting Corpus Christi

It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I am sitting at the computer at Brother Jim Garcia's house in Corpus Christi.

Yesterday I caught a ride up to Piedras with Sergio, the "profe" from the school in town and walked across the bridge to Eagle Pass, where I stayed at the First Baptist Church for the night.

I walked to the Eagle Pass Library and checked my email, and then while I was walking, I came across a little shop near the tortilla factory on Pierce where Michelle makes and sells her piñatas. They are amazing, and she only charges $20. for the big ones that are nearly 4 feet tall. The shop is called Mr. Funny and she lives in a house attached to the shop. She is a very gifted young lady.

This morning, Jim and Brenda picked me up at 7 and we had a wonderful breakfast at Skillet's.
I talked to Bill on the phone and on our way, we picked him up in Carrizo Springs. This afternoon he caught up on some much-needed rest. We had a wonderful meal of shrimp gumbo that Brenda made. She's an awesome cook, and we enjoyed the sweet fellowship with them today.

Here are a few pictures from this week and last week. Enjoy!

Tomorrow morning, I am sharing my testimony and about our ministry in Mexico at the Primera Iglesia Bautista, Corpus Christi. I am so glad Bill is with me and look forward to meeting new friends in the morning. What a privilege to be invited to come and share what God is doing in Tepeyac, and I pray God is glorified in what we share tomorrow.
