I (Bob) recently had the opportunity to travel down to Mexico to accompany a work team from my home church in Warsaw, Indiana (Pleasant View Bible Church). Always a joy and privilege for me to get back to Mexico to see what God continues to do there. The pictures above give a general feel for what we did during our time down there.

We traveled to Pachuca, Mexico (about 1 1/2 hrs. NE of Mexico City) to help the Good Shepherd Bible Church where we served as a family for almost 10 years. Land was purchased a LONG time ago (almost 10 years ago!) to build a church but lack of permits kept the project on-hold. Recently permits were finally granted so a part of our work was to help build a perimeter wall around the property. We got the majority of the work done....and learned how to lay concrete brick at the same time! Very hard work but seeing the progress was very rewarding. We also held English classes in the church for 3 nights....with great attendance every night. Fifteen students expressed an interest in evangelistic Bible studies (in English) in the future! Pray that many will come to Christ as a result!

Toward the end of the trip I traveled to the camp near Queretaro (where we lived for several years) to observe how the training was going for the summer missionaries. We're thrilled that this ministry continues in our absence. The training team (about 10 people) were doing a superb job teaching the youth how to teach kids' clubs.....now these youth are all throughout Mexico teaching evangelistic clubs! Appreciate your prayers for them as they travel and share the Good News with kids!
