Upcoming Pastors' Retreat
Armonía (Harmony)
Pastors Jimmy and Perla have been ministering on Tuesday nights with a group of people who are eager to know more about God and the Bible. Most of those who attend have never been church-goers and many had not been believers before coming to the Bible Study.
After two years of opening up the group, they (the group) decided they would like to have a weekend Family Camp all together. Thirty-two adults came along with their kids and it was an amazing time! Pastor Jimmy shared on Saturday morning to get things going, Pastor Ernesto from "Perdón y Amistad" Church in San Juan de Abajo, Nayarit, gave a very clear message on Identity Saturday night, and I shared Sunday morning about being Unified with Christ through Communion and Baptism. It was a great time as seven people took the step of Faith and were baptized in Water. One of which who grew up knowing about God through traditions, made a decision to make Jesus Christ as her Savior at the age of 86!
Completely Healed from an Horrendous Abscess AND Diabetes!
One day while he was in excruciating pain, I went into our guest room where he was staying and prayed for him and declared healing in his body like Jesus tells us to. A couple weeks went by and the only evidence of his healing was our faith. We believed he was healed, and most importantly, Macx believed he was healed. After having some blood tests done, the doctor looked at everything and said he had no sign of diabetes or anything else wrong with him and that the sore on his foot would soon heal because it was nothing to worry about. He cleaned it up a bit and each day went by with less and less pain.
After having gone to Tepic for a week and a half to help some friends with their vehicle, he came back to Cofradía and when he walked through our door, it was like we saw the old Macx again. His spirits were up, he looked healthy, his color came back, and most importantly, the sore on his foot was completely healed! He no longer had that ugly abscess that gave him so much pain. He says that after two years of struggling, he is finally physically free. A couple more weeks have gone by and he is doing very well. He shared with me some photos of before and after, but I'd rather not post them for the sensitive content of the before pics. Some of you will thank me for that. Others might be interested is seeing the change; I'm happy to share them with you in a private message.
Macx's testimony has already been shared multiple times which has helped others believe as well. Praise the Lord! Thank you for keeping our ministry in your prayers and helping us to have the opportunity to be here for the people. This is Investing in the Kingdom!

EL RETO 2024!
The youth from Centro Cristiano Cofradía United in Cofradía de Cuyutlán, Nayarit, started their "Challenge" on September 7 and finished on October 5.Four teams made up of various different towns and cities in our region: Cofradía de Cuyutlán, San Marcos, Santa Fe, Las Pilas, Arrayanes, Rosamorada, El Tigre, Zomatlán, Tamarindo, San Vicente, and Tepic, met together every Saturday to compete in physical and mental activities before coming together in "The Refuge" for Worship and teaching from the Word. The final dynamic of the day was to vote for another team to have to do chores...but...wait!...that team would receive a clue to a hidden treasure; which would give them an opportunity to challenge the winning team in one FINAL CHALLENGE.The winning team (by points) was the Green team. But, the Black team found the treasure that gave them the opportunity to challenge them. In the end, after flinging a ball at Goliath with a sling, the triumphant team was the GREEN team! Congratulations!But...WAIT!!!...the point to EL RETO isn't the pride of winning in the end, but instead the winners are each person who HAS LEARNED SOMETHING about God's Love, the Word of God, Leadership, or Life in General. Those who learned something, no matter if their team didn't win the RETO FINAL, they are the true WINNERS.The purpose of this event is to Reach Out to young people, Restore their relationship with God, and Learn something about HIM.Thank you to all who contributed to this event, especially Magnolia Bible Church in Texas who made it possible for each student to participate and hear God's Word for free!
