Trip To Monclova

Greetings, in the faithful name of Jesus Christ!

I recently had the privilege of joining Pastor Jim and Susan Garcia, my good friends for many years, on a trip to Monclova, Coahuila. Jim was invited to preach at the Iglesia Bautista Siloe there, and they invited me to accompany them. 

We left my home on Friday, November 22nd, and drove to Allende, where we got our permits for the car and our visas to enter the interior of Mexico. It was a long wait at the office for Visa’s, but we had nice conversations with several people waiting in line.

We continued our journey to Monclova, a little over 2 hours from Allende. Pastor Jim shared a sermon Friday night, Saturday night and

It was wonderful spending time with these sweet friends, and we were able to celebrate the church’s 12th Anniversary with them, and Pastor David Lara and his wife, Myra’s 34th Anniversary.

On Saturday, we went to Rio Mesquite in Cuatro Cienegas. It’s sort of a resort location with pontoon boats and a restaurant for visiting tourists.

After the Sunday service, we drove back to Tepeyac in time for the evening church at Monte Horeb. 

It was a wonderful weekend of fellowship with the families in Monclova. 

Thank you for your interest in the ministry. God bless you.

By His grace,

School Supplies For Tepeyac

Greetings in the merciful name of Jesus. Our little church in Tepeyac has been closed for services since the Pandemic but God is opening the doors once again. We now have evening services on Thursdays and Sundays at 6:00 pm. 

On Friday, August 9th, we had a special service and invited all the parents and school children in Tepeyac to join us. Afterwards, each child attending from the Kindergarten and Elementary school received a packet with all the school supplies needed for their grade level. 

We also had snacks and refreshments for everyone in attendance. These are some photos from that special event.

Pastor Isaias Silos from Iglesia Bautista Nueva Esperanza in Piedras Negras is coming to Tepeyac each week to share the good news, and Brother Federico from his church is leading us on Sundays. 

We are so grateful for these men and their willingness to share in our little church. 

May God be glorified and new believers added to the kingdom.

Thank you for your interest in the ministry here in Mexico. 

 

Heating It Up in Mexico

 Greetings, in the faithful name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I have been so delinquent in keeping up with my blog, and once again, I

Last month, some friends from Texas came down to do some work at our church in Tepeyac, repairing some broken wiring, and also did some work at my home. I am so grateful for good friends that are willing to take the time out of their busy schedule to come and visit and help.

Wayne Cadenhead, Jeremy, his son, and their friend Rocky Gonzalez came from Haskell and Goldthwaite to fix the wiring at the church in Tepeyac that has been broken for many months. They put in a new fuse box and put new wiring in the trench that was dug by our friends, Rito and Manuel Martinez in nearby Palmira. 

Rocky is an experienced electrician and plumber and lived in Haskell, where he and the Cadenheads became friends. He and his wife, Rosie, currently live in Golthwaite. 

We went to Home Depot in Piedras Negras, where I purchased a 30-gallon butane hot water heater and all the necessary tubes and lines. We went to lunch at a new (to us) restaurant in Piedras, next to Home Depot. 

After we got back to my house, hey spent several hours installing the hot water heater and I am so blessed by their efforts. 

Here are the pictures I took of the work at the church and my home. I made the homemade apple pie for them and they took it with them after we each had a piece.(Except Jeremy. He said he doesn’t like fruit pies!)

God bless you as you make a difference in your sphere of influence. God is good, all the time!

Serving Him with joy,

Toni
