Two years ago I would have never imagined that I would have privilege of playing a role in planting a church in Northern Mexico. I would have never imagined the close relationships that my family and I would build with both believers and non-believers across the border. Therefore, it was bittersweet to say goodbye to our friends in Villages CO and EZ.
However, I believe that our time there ended on a real high note. Over the last several months we have been teaching the members of our church plant how to study the Bible on their own. So for our final gathering with them we simply gave them the text (John 17) and let them loose. It was incredible to see them digging into the Scripture together and then sharing great insights, observations and applications with the whole group. What a privilege to see that happen! I have no doubt that teaching them how to study the Bible on their own is the best gift that we could have given them.
Below are pictures from our last trip:
Believers from the church in Village CO digging into the Bible using the principles they have been learning over the last few months
These two ladies meet everyday to study James together using the Bible study principles we have been teaching
Some of the members of our church plant with our team
Our best friends in Mexico. They have even come to visit us in S TX a couple times
Two brothers that own the store in Village CO. We had good evangelistic relationships with them.
Mr F and his family. His son followed us everywhere we went. We really enjoyed this family and they seem to have a real interest in the gospel
One of the teens we met playing soccer who also seemed to have an interest in the gospel
The teacher in Village EZ. He let us use the school property to teach the kids. We shared meals with him and had some good gospel conversations with him as well. A real man of peace (Luke 10:6).
Nora LOVES Mexico!
