"For Unto Us a Child Is Born." Isaiah 9:6

Christmas in Mexico

Tradition Without Knowledge

Christmas in Veracruz

 

  While Mexico, being 90% Catholic, observes the traditional Christian holidays such as Christmas, there is little understanding among the people of the significance of the Incarnation. There are many layers of religion between the hearts of the people and the God who wants to save them.

  In the churches there is ritual and observance. Among the people there is celebration and festivals. But, in the hearts of the people there is a lack of understanding of the relationship that is necessary in order to receive the salvation of the Lord.

  This Christmas there will be fiestas and fireworks. There will be religion and regalos (gifts). There will be displays and drunkenness, but there will be little true worship with understanding of the marvelous grace of our God

The Poinsettia is indigenous to Mexico

.

  Pray that the people of Mexico will come to know the Christ of Christmas as their personal Savior and Lord. Pray that He will be more than an excuse to party. Pray that he will bring hope to families and individuals who need Him desperately. 

 Causes For Rejoicing

  During our time in Mexico, we have seen God’s hand working in the following areas:

·          Four new churches or preaching points.

·          Growth and baptisms in our local church in Jerez.

·          Theological training of pastors and church leaders through two formats.

·          Increasing opportunities for partnerships with others in church planting.

·          Doors opening in areas we hadn’t anticipated before coming to Mexico.
