When Jolene (IMB Journeyman) hosted First Baptist Church, Boyle, Ms., she had no idea how God would work through the lives of the volunteers, Mexican Baptist volunteers, and our missionaries. The project goal was to saturate an area of Colima, Mexico with the Gospel where there was only a small house church present. Because mainly children attended the services, the pastor's objective with the project was to make adult contacts to facilitate the growth and expansion of the church.
As the team prayerwalked, handed out gospel packets, and evangelized, several people expressed interest in having Bible studies in their homes. Join us in praising Jesus for these seekers. Ask Him to urge the non-believers to follow through with their commitment to attend services to learn more about Him. Pray they will experience God's wonderful presence in their lives so they will be encouraged to begin new house churches for His kingdom growth.
Since it was the rainy season, it is always a concern when a team plans to show a Christian movie outside in the elements. A threatening sky loomed over the area so the women immediately prayerwalked and asked God to hold off the rain until after the movie ended. People flowed in and watched the movie with great interest. Praise God the rains held off until the equipment was packed and the team left the area. This gift of no rain showed everyone God was in control of the mission efforts.
The following pictures are a reflection of the week's events. It will give you insight into how much fun a team has on mission with the Lord, but also how He uses His workers to His glory.
