THE FORGOTTEN!

"The Tarascos are carpenters who make and sell furniture along roadsides in the city. They set up tents and live and work out of these modest dwellings," says David and Pam, IMB field missionaries. Team leaders Garry Morrison and Lucas Randall led the volunteer teams that came from Iglesia Bautista Hispana La Roca, Greenville, South Carolina, and First Baptist Church of Marshall, Missouri, to work with our field personnel. Our missionaries share, "Both churches did such a wonderful job ministering and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. They traveled more than any other group we have ever hosted and ministered to many homeless and others who society chooses to ignore."

Besides working with the Tarascos, one team met a family that hosts a house church each Friday. The church leader asked the group to visit Zula (another small pueblo about ten minutes away) to see if God was working there. If He was, they wanted to encourage His work. It was well worth the effort because the team led a family of three to Christ. The missionary and leader of the house church followed up on this family and confirmed their decision.

A national household invited one group for a meal. The volunteers were delighted when the gracious hosts invited them back to hold future meetings. The missionary states, "This gesture is such an incredible testimony to God at work!"

Randall's teams shared the love of Christ through songs, activities, food and sharing the Word of God to these humble people. During the week, they helped serve a meal to the homeless in Tepito and hosted a mini-VBS with the Tarasco. In addition to this, they assisted the Boyters by distributing over 1700 Gospels in San Pablo Altlazalpan and in Colonia Nopalera.
Praise Jesus!
