FBC Missions

Hello everyone!

We apologize for such a late update on our mission, we have had numerous issues connecting to the internet!

We are in Mexico and having a blast!  Our train ride was a great opportunity for all of the missionaries to connect, hang out, and make lots of memories.  Although it was very difficult to sleep, the experience was worthwhile.

The team arrived in Mexico a little late due to a few necessary stops before the border.  We immediately attended the weekly church service held by the church in Victoria.  We were able to share about 4 songs and hear a great testimony from Katie Peterson (she did a wonderful job).  After the service, we were introduced to our host families who so lovingly took us to their homes.

Monday was our first full day in Mexico.  We started many different work projects like roofing, siding, painting, and most of the girls planned and prepared for Vacation Bible School.  Everyone has had such a great attitude about helping and serving others to give glory to God! It’s so wonderful to see all of the Mexican children enjoy stories from the Bible and memorize short scriptures.  Although we can barely communicate, a simple piggy-back ride and a jump-rope can bridge any separation between us and the kids.  They are very happy and a pleasure to love on.

God has been very faithful and protective of His children.  No serious injuries or illnesses!  Thank you Lord.  Lastnight at our basketball game in Delta, during halftime, our own students blew the audience away with a skit portraying God’s never-ending love for us.  After Rudy shared a short message with the audience, 3 people made a decision to accept Jesus as their Savior.  It was wonderful!

I hope you will still continue to pray for us as we continue to serve and love like Jesus.  Pray that we will be kept from any harm and remain safe as we finish our work this week.  I will hopefully give you an update tomorrow on how things are going and how God is working.  Thanks for everything!

God bless,

Hunter G.
