"Do not say,' There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" (John 4:35)
Happy New Year!
We thank the Lord for another year completed for His Glory! We are encouraged about the work that Jesus has done and is doing in the lives of the people of Mexico. We have seen a pressing forward to reach the lost like never before.
The year 2014 began with the completion of the church in Puerto Escondido. They began holding services and have seen much fruit. Pastor Eliud, Dulce and their children have been faithful to continue to march ahead to see the Kingdom of God increase. They are not only reaching those in their area but also surrounding areas as well. Dulce held a women's conference and over 100 women showed up from all over the southern regions of Mexico. There were salvations, healings and ministry to the women that came. God is faithful and is using this precious couple for His Glory!
The new Bible School students in Huajuapan also began their year of Bible studies. They are continuing in the new year to study the Word of God diligently as they pray for God's direction. Several of the graduates of 2014 have begun their work in various areas of ministry and are being used by God. We pray that this year will hold new opportunities and doors will open for these eager leaders.
This past year also held great blessings in our family. Landon, Tammy and Gabriel welcomed little Amelia Rae Rider into this world on December 24, 2014. It was a surprise to us all as she was about three weeks early! We are happy for them and know that God will use her to reach the lost.
Much has transpired this past year in the state of Guerrero where several of our churches are located. Please continue to pray for the protection of God on those that are living and preaching there and that God will reach the lost in this violent state of Mexico.
Thank you for praying and standing together with us to see Jesus exalted in Mexico! May the Lord Jesus bless you in this New Year of 2015 and give you Souls, Healing and Deliverance!
In Him,
Greg & Lisa Rider & Family
