Children’s meetings For over 10 years there has been a week of children's meetings each summer in El Vergel hall. Many children from nearby areas attend. There is singing, quizzes and a Bible lesson with a related verse. Pray for fruit. We had over 50 kids the first night! Read more

‘Soccer Guys’ Twice a week I [Stephen] play soccer with teens from the community that live around the church. Most of them do not attend any church. However, after playing, they hear a short message from Scripture. It has now been almost four years since I started ministering to the 'soccer guys'. I have gotten a bit closer to two of them… Read more

To start another work The process of establishing leadership in our assembly has been tougher than anticipated, but we see the hand of the Lord in all of it.

The highest temperatures Spring brings the highest temperatures of the year to Jalisco.

The towns in this state are very religious and many do not have even one messenger of the Gospel to proclaim the true way of salvation. Entering these towns will be a covert operation. Pray that… Read more
