Pastor Asisclo to re-establish Mission in Guatalupe

Good news! While Fernando and I were ministering in a couple of villages, we received two invitations. The first is to participate with Pastor Asisclo and his congregation to do an outreach in Guadalupe. There used to be a church where Christians gathered in Guadalupe but for many years it has empty and the group of believers has diminished. Lately Pastor Asisclo has been visiting Guadalupe in an effort to re-establish the work of the Church there and the up-coming outreach in September will be a part of that. The second invitation is to attend a two-day regional meeting of churches. We look forward to the opportunity to network with many pastors that have been outside our reach due to their remoteness and plan to distribute our training materials and Bibles for new believers. Thanks always for your priceless prayers!

Missionary Conference

We are back in Oaxaca after visiting family for Christmas. Upon returning I attended a missionary conference where for three days indigenous pastors and leaders were given the opportunity to share their perspective of the ministry to the indigenous peoples. Eye-opening and sometimes painful to hear, but extremely valuable for those of us dedicated to the growth and development of the indigenous church. The things we learned there will help us to be more effective in training and equipping pastors in the mountains. This week I will be meeting with a pastor from the very remote Mixe village of Coatlan to plan our next series of conferences. Your prayers are appreciated!

Jan 2010 Update on our online Conference School

 Director Garett Jackson and family only recently returned from the states where they spent the Holidays. Said they came back to no electricity or water. Three days to get back on. 


He told me today, "Right now I'm at the COMIMEX conference where I'll be promoting the pastors conferences and giving out some discs.  I'm planning on going to Culiacan for 2 weeks in Feburary.

COMIMEX is a gathering of leaders who work with ministering to indigenous peoples. A great group. Garett will be able to share with individual pastors who have no way of going to a Bible School for training.  Culiacan is where many indigenous groups go  to harvest crops. Garett not only can help with ministering to those who have never heard the gospel but also work to let pastors also know about our online school.


Please be in prayer for him and also the president of Agape Missions who will also be in Culican.
