Mission Dispatch Features the Silbermans

Mission Dispatch is a ministry set up to help missionaries and ministries by providing a support hub for them, prayer, and for us...mentorship (Thank you Ted and Linda and the rest of the Mission Dispatch Team!)

 

They have recently been featuring our ministry on their facebook page. I know many of you are not on facebook and would probably appreciate what they have been posting. They have done a great job! Here are their most recent posts:

 

Post #1

Some ministries are measured only by what is built; others are measured by the people whose lives have been changed and equipped to keep building God's Kingdom — Meet Steve and Efigenia Silberman of La Cofradía United Ministries.

 

Since 1996, Steve and Efigenia have faithfully served in Nayarit, Mexico, investing in people, churches, and communities with a vision that extends far beyond themselves.

 

As directors of La Cofradía United Ministries, their passion is to raise up Christian leaders who are confident in their faith and equipped to disciple others. Their desire is not simply to grow a ministry, but to see generations of leaders carrying the gospel into their own communities.

 

Mission Dispatch is grateful to partner with Steve, Efigenia, and their daughters as they faithfully serve the people of Mexico.

 

Please join us in praying for the Silbermans and all the lives they invest in on a regular basis!

 

 

 

 

Post #2

Since 1996, La Cofradía United Ministries has been investing in the people of Nayarit, Mexico, with one clear vision: to raise up Christian leaders who are confident in Christ and equipped to raise up others.

 

That vision takes many forms.

 

It looks like pastors being encouraged and mentored. It looks like churches being planted and strengthened. It looks like leadership training, Bible studies, and Freedom in Christ conferences. It looks like children receiving meals, families finding restoration, men overcoming addiction, homes being built, and mission teams serving alongside local believers.

 

Every ministry they are involved in exists to help people discover the truth of Jesus Christ and become faithful disciples who will impact their own communities for generations to come.

 

Would you consider partnering financially with Steve and Efigenia through Mission Dispatch?

 

Your prayers and support help strengthen churches, equip leaders, serve families, and extend the hope of the gospel throughout western Mexico.

 

 

Post #3 

PRAY FOR NAYARIT, MEXICO

 

Located on Mexico's Pacific coast, Nayarit is home to beautiful mountains, fertile valleys, coastal fishing communities, and growing cities. It is also home to people from many backgrounds and cultures, including several indigenous communities with rich histories and traditions.

 

While many churches faithfully serve throughout the region, there are still communities that need strong biblical discipleship, trained Christian leaders, and opportunities to hear the hope of the gospel.

 

This week, join us in praying for Nayarit:

     Pray for pastors and church leaders to faithfully teach God's Word and disciple the next generation.

     Pray for local churches to grow in unity, spiritual maturity, and love for their communities.

     Pray for families to experience healing, hope, and the transforming love of Jesus Christ.

     Pray for missionaries, including Steve and Efigenia Silberman of Cofradía United Ministries, as they equip leaders who will continue multiplying disciples throughout Mexico.

 

God often changes a nation by strengthening local churches and raising up faithful leaders who will invest in others.

 

How can we pray for your community this week? Comment below.

 

Post #4

Did you know?

 

Nayarit is home to the Wixárika (Huichol) people, one of Mexico's best-preserved indigenous cultures.

 

The Wixárika are known around the world for their breathtaking yarn art and intricate beadwork. Many of their designs tell stories through colorful symbols inspired by nature, family, and their spiritual traditions.

 

For generations, art has been a way of preserving their history, identity, and beliefs.

 

The Bible also tells God's story. Not through yarn or beads, but through His Word.

 

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals God's love, His plan of redemption, and His invitation for every people and every nation to know Him.

 

As missionaries serve throughout Nayarit, they seek to honor the people and culture while faithfully sharing the greatest story ever told: the good news of Jesus Christ.

 

"Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples!" ~ Psalm 96:3

 

What is one way you've seen God use culture to open doors for the gospel?

Cordero y Leon Church

Pastor Rodrigo and his wife Annel are the pastors of Cordero y Leon (The Lion and the Lamb) church in La Cruz de Elota, Sinaloa. Rodrigo is a native of Argentina and came to Mexico as a Missionary and worked with a ministry where he met Annel. They recently relocated from Culiacán, Sinaloa, to La Cruz after feeling led by the Lord to minister to some friends and individuals who needed restoration. Their pastoral hearts and compassion for the people have been a cool refreshment in the desert of these peoples' lives.

This November, they will be celebrating 10 years of marriage. For those ten years, they have been praying for a baby. Last month, after having tried many forms of help with no success, they became pregnant without any of the medical help they had received. It was a joyous moment until they found out a week later that the baby never formed, but her body thought it was pregnant, thus giving a false test. Through all of this, they are rejoicing in the fact that they were able to get pregnant and are expecting the Lord will bless them with a baby in the near future. Please join us as we pray for them. Pray for life and strength in both of them.

One of the things they love to do is to go up into the mountains with the indigenous people group called Los Kuares who, when they started going, was an unreached people group. They led their interpreter to the Lord who was the first of his community to meet Jesus. Since then, that young man has been leading Bible studies and was baptized as well. It has been a couple of years since they've been able to go, but here is a post from their last visit up there. Some of you donated towards this trip. Thank you!

Rodrigo has not been back to Argentina for almost 15 years. One of their desires is to go visit again and spend some time with his family and meet up with some of his old friends and mentors. This will incur extra expenses for them, but is very needed. I know what it is like to be away from family and friends, but not for that long. When we took our sabbatical in 2019, it changed my life. I trust this will be the same for them as they rest and reflect.

 

You can read their latest "Pastors' Perspectives" update near the bottom of this page for more information on their ministry. They also keep pretty active on Facebook.

 

If you would like to contribute to their ministry in La Cruz or their visit back to Argentina, you can do so by making a note "Rodrigo" at the Cofradia United giving page.

 

Thank you for helping us Raise up Leaders in Rural Mexico. 

 

 

Lost I.D.

I have to admit that one of my favorite movies is not a healthy family movie. It is Jason Bourne. I like it because of the action and suspense, but the message behind it also intrigues me. He has lived a number of years of his life as someone who he thought he was, but wasn’t. Throughout the first movie, The Bourne Identity, he is searching for his true identity. He gets glimpses of who he really is, but he just can’t put it all together. 

 

I’m not promoting the movie for people to watch, but I wonder if we struggle with the same concept as Christians today—living from an identity that is not who we really are or searching for our true identity in Christ. My concern is that our true identity in Christ has become a hidden truth in the church. Do we have a Lost I.D.?

Statistics show that most Christians do not know who they are in Christ. Many times we think our identity lies in what we do or how we feel, but it’s the opposite; who we are determines what we do, how we feel comes from our thoughts. We can only fake it for so long. The focus is not our behavior, it’s our being.

Once we are in Christ, we become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Our identity changes. Just like marriage, once you’re married, you’re married and no longer single, your identity has changed. The problem with some is that they still want to live like they’re single. Similarly in the Christian community, once we have given our life to Christ, we are no longer sinners, we are saints (1 Corinthians 1:2) and we have become children of God (John 1:12). The problem isn’t really that we want to continue to be sinners, but it's that we still see ourselves as sinners and our behavior bleeds through our perception of ourself.

If we could understand who we are as a child of God and learn all of the character traits we already have in Christ, our behavior will automatically change because of our perception of ourself. The point is not to behave well, the point is be more like Christ.

We are loved, forgiven, free, sanctified, justified, indwelt by the Spirit, and the list goes on. What an exciting revelation to know that we are free from sin and no longer slaves to it.

Maybe you are like I was; living not knowing who I really am in Christ. Maybe you’re searching to understand what that means and getting only glimpses like Jason Bourne. I challenge you to read the scriptures (Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and more) and BELIEVE what they say about you even though you may not “feel” it yet. We do not base our identity on our behavior nor our feelings.

We love you all and pray that your journey continues to reveal the truth about who God is and who you are in Christ. 

May your Lost I.D. be found.

Raise Up Leaders in Rural Mexico. 

Casa de Gracia, Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit

Pastors Jimmy and Perla joined our ministry in 2019 when they were going through a difficult time in their marriage and family life. After having been in ministry almost a decade as soon as they got married, the ministry became a higher priority than it should have which led to a number of issues they needed to deal with. At the beginning of 2022, they handed their church over to their leaders and decided to take some time off to reorganize their priorities and nurture their relationship with each other, their children, and the Lord.

 

In January of 2025 after leading bible studies for a couple of years in their own neighborhood, they opened "Casa de Gracia" (House of Grace) by the request of those they had been teaching. By this time, they had learned to follow the leading of the Spirit and maintain healthy priorities in their marriage and family. Both of them felt like it was time to return to pastoring.

 

Jimmy and Perla have three children and one older young man that is married who was an orphan that they raised since he was an adolescent. I cannot say enough good things about Jimmy and Perla. They are an example to follow. Their love for God, for each other, their children, and people is genuinely authentic. They are a pleasure to be around and an enormous blessing and encouragement in our team of pastors. 

 

Their church is located in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit, just minutes from Puerto Vallarta. It is a vibrant, alive church where everyone makes you feel welcome. Apart from their Sunday services, they meet mid-week for a dicsipleship class where they are currently learning about "Freedom in Christ" and they also speak at a home-group in Nuevo Vallarta made up of people from different congregations.

 

At the moment, they are renting a walled open space for their meetings. Their desire is to have their own property and own building in the near future. They have their eyes on some property, but are waiting for God's provision to move forward.

 

You can read more about their ministry when you scroll down at this link. 

 

If you would like more information or just want to follow them, they are pretty good about keeping people updated on Facebook.

 

As you pray for them, if the Lord leads you to partner with them either with a one time gift or a continuous donation, click here and specify it is for Jimmy and Perla in the note section. 

Impeding Pride

As much as I hate to admit it just like in last month's Perilous Presumptions post, pride is something that seems to seep in to my life unexpectedly and uninvited. In fact, whenever I hear someone speak about pride or read about it, I seldom stop to think that what they're saying could apply to me. Author Neil Anderson said, "Pride is like bad breath, everyone knows you have it except for you." There is truth in that funny phrase!

 

In the past couple of "Manna" posts, I have camped out in 2 Kings 5 and the story of Naaman's healing. I talked about the courage of the Jewish servant girl he kidnapped and how she was able to see the value of Living Victoriously in an Upside Down Life and last time looking at how the King of Israel misunderstood the reasoning why the King of Syria sent Naaman to him. That presumption could have ended in peril; he was ready to make war until Elisha came to clear up the misunderstanding.

 

Naaman's "bad breath" was impeding him from his healing until his servants explained to him another perspective.

 

The story goes with Elisha calling Naaman to his house. When he arrived, Elisha sent his servant out to tell him to dip in the Jordan River 7 times and he would receive his healing.  This did not set well with the Army Captain, he was the right hand man of the King of Syria, he "deserved better" than to have a servant come out and tell him how to be healed. And, on top of that, to go to a river that belonged to the Israelites??? Well, their rivers were much better in Syria! (see 2 Kings 5:9-12).

 

As Naaman stormed off in disgust with Elisha, his own servants asked him, "If Elisha himself would have come out, wouldn't you go down to the River Jordan?" The fact his, Naaman was offended that Elisha sent to him a servant instead of coming out to him himself and telling him to go to a river against which he had his prejudices. If it was not for his own servants speaking sense into him, his pride would have impeded him from being healed. 

 

It looks like to me from this passage that the best way to receive healing (in this context) or instructions from a godly leader is to humble ourself, recognize our prejudices, and simply follow the instructions of the Word. We will find rest, peace, health and healing in believing that it's for us. Our obedient belief will bring blessings and rest which God has promised. 

 

Hebrews 3:19 says, "they were unable to enter (the rest) because of their unbelief". It was when Naaman finally humbled himself and believed, or obeyed what Elisha said, that he finally received his healing. 

 

Pride can prevent the promises of God from becoming a reality in our life. 

 

I used to think that because of my circumstances certain promises weren't for me. But, I have learned to believe the promises despite my circumstances. The promises of God are Truth. But, the Grace of God can only be accessed through Faith (Romans 5:2).

 

In a recent devotion time, the reality of how our thoughts take us into our future became even more clear. If we believe our life is a mess and that's just the cards we've been dealt, then we will continue have a messy life and our circumstances will reflect that. But, if we can see that Jesus came to give us ABUNDANT LIFE (John 10:10), we will begin to see changes in our life as we believe for that blessing.

 

Impeding Pride puts a wall up between us and the blessing.

 

Perilous Presumptions

Have you ever assumed something was true, but later found out that it wasn't true? I have, and I have to say that it has happened to me more times than I'd like to admit. Growing up, my poor self-image and insecurities fueled my misunderstanding of other people's motives. I became overly sensitive and easily offended. Knowing who I am in Christ has revolutionized my perspective on life. What others think about me does not dictate who I am; who I am is dictated by what God says about me. That goes for all of us.

Misunderstanding other peoples' motives can be dangerous. It fractures families, finishes friendships, wages wars, and isolates individuals. 

Last month I shared about Naaman's servant girl who offered valuable information that led to Naaman's healing. Her life must have turned upside down when she was taken away. Despite what happened to her, she decided to not live as a victim. She knew the value of Living Victoriously in an Upside Down Life.

The King of Syria sent his Military Captain Naaman to the King of Israel asking for him to heal his servant. The King of Israel, Joram at the time, became furious. He assumed that the King of Syria was setting him up for failure and was looking for an opportunity to accuse and take advantage of Joram. Joram assumed the King of Syria's intentions were of war and deception. He said, "What!?! Am I God, to kill and to make alive?...I see how he seeketh a quarrel against me." 

Elisha heard about what was going on and intervened. Otherwise, this story could have taken a very different turn. Who knows what could have happened? Elisha "delivered" the King of his perilous presumption and provided understanding and healing. 

I am so thankful that Christ intervened on our behalf. He provides forgiveness and healing. When we listen to Him, He will help us see things from a proper truthful perspective. If we receive the correction with humility, we will begin to understand the truth, be able to forgive, and be healed emotionally.

Think of how many families that didn't need to be fractured. Think of how many friendships were not meant to be finished. Think of the wars that didn't need to be waged. Think of the Individuals who have Isolated themselves into loneliness. We live in a fallen world and because of that, we find ourselves in these situations. Jesus is the Answer.

Are you someone who assumes others have wrong motives towards you? Are you easily offended by what others say? The next time we assume something about someone, let's take it to Jesus first. The Prophet Elisha came to the King of Israel; Jesus came to us.

Granted, there are people who do have selfish ambitions and only think of themselves, but the Perilous Presumptions will cause us to incorrectly believe that about everyone and become overly sensitive and easily offended...I know, I've been there.

Maybe this concept is foreign to you. Praise the Lord! But, it is real for many people. My prayer is that those who do have these Perilous Presumptions would be able to humbly recognize it and seek the Lord for help.

If you have been offended by anything in this post, I would urge you to honestly consider yourself in this area. You are loved! God has such a great plan for your life! He thinks so highly of you and always wants the best for you.

I'm so glad that God is Love and He loves us. That truth makes the idea of Perilous Presumptions seem silly.

Report: 6.25.26

Hello friends,

I'm glad to greet you.

I want to share with you that my wife recently passed away after three years of fighting a terminal illness. It was a very difficult time, but through the prayers and support of God and our friends, we were able to go through this situation. Throughout this journey, we saw God's miracles manifested in many ways.

I will be brief about what happened because I would not be able to tell you everything.

At first, she was diagnosed with lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, after an inguinal lymph node that had been removed was examined. She was then treated by a hematologist who specializes in blood disorders. After many tests, they discovered that she actually had malignant melanoma. A CT scan revealed a tumor that had never been detected before. It was treated surgically, removed, and analyzed again, but the results were not good.

After the surgery, the doctor spoke with me and said that someone would need to tell her that this type of cancer was very aggressive. I asked him how much time she had left, and he told me that she had about five months to live.

Throughout all of this, despite everything, I kept my faith in God. I believed Gods' promises more than what the doctors were saying, although we continued to follow all of their instructions. Of course, there were times when doubt came upon me. But glory to God, those five months the doctor predicted became almost three years of life. I truly believe God performed a wonderful miracle by giving my wife nearly three additional years. During that time, she was able to enjoy watching our grandsons and granddaughters grow.

She passed away on May 14 at 9:30 a.m. A little earlier that morning, I anointed her body and hair with oil. She looked so beautiful, and her face became peaceful and full of a smile. Glory to God for the miracle of life.

Financially, we ended up with a very large deficit, but thank God we have come through victoriously in Christ.

Regarding the ministry, we continue our Tuesday Bible study at 4:30 p.m., using The War Is Over by Andrew Wommack. We are seeing very encouraging results, especially in the development of our leaders.

Another ministry I began is teaching music. I first started with a young man named Francisco, who is now ministering during our Sunday services. I am also teaching two young youth girls. One may soon begin participating with the church worship group, and the other is also looking forward to serving. We meet on Mondays and Fridays at 4:30 p.m., and afterward we study The New You and the Holy Spirit.

In November, on the 26th, 27th, and 28th, we will be offering the Grace Course by Neil T. Anderson.

Thank you very much for your continued support of the ministry and for your faithful prayers.

 

Pastor Gregorio Hernández

Dear beloved brothers,

It is always a pleasure to write to you and express my warmest greetings. I pray that when you read this letter, you are enjoying good health. Thank God, we are doing well.

Beloved brothers, thank you for keeping us in your prayers and for your faithful financial support in helping provide for our needs. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for the love you have shown us. I thank God for working in your hearts through His Word and inspiring such kindness. Thank you, dear brothers.

I am happy to share with you that we recently celebrated 15 years since moving into our new congregation building. Thank God, it is larger and better equipped than our previous location. Even more important, the pastors have come together in unity, forming a strong brotherhood that is committed to working together to share Christ and His Word with new believers.

At this time, I spend much of my time caring for my wife, María, due to some health limitations she is experiencing. We trust that, according to God's will, she will recover. In the meantime, God gives me the patience and strength to care for her with joy and love, which is my privilege in Christ.

I also devote time to caring for my mother. Because of her age, she has become more affected by loneliness, especially after the recent passing of her last surviving brother. I try to spend time with her, serving her needs and encouraging her with God's Word.

Beloved brothers, María and Kenya send you their warm greetings. I continue praying that God will use Kenya as she serves others through her nursing profession, blessing many people with the gifts He has given her.

Thank you again, dear brothers, for your love, prayers, and faithful support. Please extend our greetings to everyone.

May God bless you richly, and until next time.

Hello, and blessings to you all.
 
We are Iglesia Comunidad de Asombro (Community of Wonder Church). We have been experiencing these last 6 months the power and the grace of God in our lives with the full recovery of our two sons who had cancer; God has totally healed them. 

My wife Karla and I share the word in Mazatan, Mesillas, and in our local congregation in Las Varas with the conviction that God has shown us His faithfulness in these times of personal anguish. This has brought us to depend solely on God in everything we do. 

Our outreaches in Mazatlán and Mesillas along with our local congregation in Las Varas have also been experiencing the power of the Word as it restores and changes lives. We all have seen evidence that the Word has power and transforms hearts. I believe there is still a lot to do and that this has barely started, but this work will He perfect in us. Although it has not been easy, the victory is ours. We have understood that God always takes care of those who believe in Him and He has upheld our lives every day teaching us that if we put Him first, all things work in our favor because God is faithful. 

We are pastors Ruben and Karla. From the Las Varas, Nayarit. We thank you for your friendship and prayers. Thanks for your unconditional support!!

Casa De Gracia (House of Grace) Report

 

 

Our family continues to grow in the knowledge of Christ each day. My wife, our children, and I are committed to knowing Him more, and that relationship brings us true fulfillment.

Over the past six months, our congregation has grown stronger and become more established in God's grace and love.

We celebrated our first anniversary, and we were blessed to have our pastors, Steve and Geña Silberman, join us. It was a very special and memorable time!

We have also welcomed several new people who are hungry for God's Word. It has been a joy to receive them with love and serve them as they grow in their faith.

Our worship ministry has also grown, with a strong team coming together to serve in all of our ministry activities.

 

We continue with our PRIMICIA plan, gathering Monday through Friday at 6:00 a.m. to listen to Scripture together and allow the Holy Spirit to nourish us through God's Word. So far, we have listened to the Bible from Genesis through Ezekiel.

We also began our Freedom in Christ discipleship course. Our church members and new attendees are learning about their identity in Christ, and we are currently on Session 5. God is truly at work!

 

This month, we will also be hosting an outdoor movie night as an outreach event to invite new people from our community.

 

Finally, we continue to pray for God's provision of land or a permanent building for our church. We know our Heavenly Father already has the perfect place prepared, and we trust that He will provide it in His perfect timing.

La Cruz, Sinaloa

Report: 6.27.26

Greetings to everyone reading this report.

We are Pastors Rodrigo Romero and Annel Sánchez. We are approaching our tenth year of a blessed marriage and continue to pray with hope for the opportunity to become parents. Since our youth, we have served the Lord with joy and dedication.

For the past six years, we have pastored in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, and for more than a year we have also been leading a church called Cordero y León (Lion and the Lamb) in La Cruz, Sinaloa, Mexico.

Throughout these years, we have shared the Gospel in different areas of the city of Culiacán. One of our primary ministries has been serving in local hospitals by providing food and drinks to patients and their families, while also praying with them and sharing the message of the Gospel.

Each year, we organize a mission trip to the mountains of Nayarit, where we minister in an Indigenous community called Cuare. Many of the people there had never heard the message of Jesus before. During these trips, we provide clothing, food, toys and candy for the children, as well as medical care and medications.

Our vision is to plant churches in the major cities of the state of Sinaloa. From these churches, we desire to raise up leaders and missionaries who will go on to plant congregations in the surrounding towns, so that the entire state may be reached with the Gospel.

Just over a year ago, we planted another Cordero y León church in La Cruz, Sinaloa. We have been amazed by God's grace as He continues to bless this new congregation. We have had the privilege of ministering to believers who had been away from church for many years, as well as new believers who have come to faith through the preaching of God's Word. We believe this new mission will continue to grow in the months ahead.

 

We are grateful to have the opportunity to meet in a building that has been generously made available to us. At the same time, we continue to work and pray for the provision of a permanent church building.

We are confident in the mission God has given His Church. Therefore, we will continue joyfully preaching the Gospel in every season and at every opportunity. There is never a wrong time for people to come to know Jesus.

Every area of ministry—including our children's ministry, youth ministry, marriage events, and women's coffee gatherings—is centered on evangelism. We are currently in our church's "Evangelism and Outreach" planning season, during which every activity is intentionally focused on reaching people who have never attended church before.

Each month, we also prepare and distribute food and hygiene packages to families in need within our community.

For the past six years, we have been part of Cofradía United. We are deeply thankful to have mentors and a church family who continually bless us with their love, encouragement, support, and wise counsel.

We have great expectations for what God has planned, and we pray that we will faithfully fulfill His purposes. Serving Christ is our life's calling.

Thank you for partnering with us. The Cordero y León congregation is here to serve you in whatever the Gospel calls us to do together. (2 Timothy 4:1–8)

Mission

To take the Gospel to the ends of the earth by planting, strengthening, and preserving the Church of Christ—for the glory of God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Vision

To establish churches in the largest cities of the state, equipping missionaries who will go out from those congregations to preach the Gospel in the surrounding towns, so that the message of Christ is proclaimed throughout the entire region.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with each one of you.

Blessings!

Report: 6.25.26

During these past six months, we received financial support to begin the construction of restroom facilities. Together with the members of the church, we cleared and leveled the land where the construction would take place, preparing it for the project. We then began the construction by laying the foundation and installing the plumbing for the water supply and drainage system.

Our vision continues to be the construction of a church building where we can gather for worship services. We trust that God will continue to touch hearts and provide the financial support needed to complete this work for His glory.

In the ministry, we continue faithfully serving the Lord by sharing His Word, evangelizing in surrounding communities, and holding weekly Bible studies.

On a personal level, I have been strengthened by God and have received tremendous emotional, moral, and spiritual support from my leaders. In February, we attended a pastors' retreat, which was a great blessing. It was a time of encouragement, biblical teaching, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.

Thank you for taking the time to read this ministry report. May God richly bless you, multiply His blessings in your life, and continue to touch the hearts of all those who faithfully support His work.
