"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)
Jesus is faithful and is working in the hearts and minds of the believers in Mexico. Although there has been violence in the surrounding areas, especially in Guerrero, God is still being glorified!
An evangelistic meeting was held in one of the areas located on the state line of Oaxaca and Guerrero. It was organized to reach out to the surrounding villages. Many gathered and over 70 were saved and several were healed! Jesus is being exalted in these hostile areas and is moving through these mountains with his salvation power! The main pastor from the works in northern Oaxaca and I made a trip to visit each of the pastors on the trail toward southern Oaxaca. We were able to meet with the pastor that is over the Amuzco churches and he reported that the Amuzco works are doing well and are growing.
We also prayed with this same Amuzco pastor and his wife. She is still standing and believing God for a complete healing. She struggles with diabetes and its effects. It is a miracle that she still is able to move freely and hike the mountains. She is a walking testimony of God's grace and healing and continues to pray for others despite her own battles. Please continue to pray for this dear sister that she will be strengthened and that we will see a complete victory in her body in Jesus name!
As we made our way down south, we eventually arrived at the work in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. The pastor reported on a new work in the surrounding mountain area that was started a little over a year ago. It is growing rapidly and is now filled with about 50 believers. One young man that was involved in gang activity was saved there and is bringing other gang members to Jesus! Praise God!
Thank you for praying and standing together with us to see Jesus exalted in Mexico!
