During
Paco’s trip to Ixcamilpa, he made an effort to visit the homes of the families
he knows in great need and those that have shown an interest in the Word of
God.
When
visiting Don Chava (blind) and his wife, Selerina, he was surprised and pleased
to hear that they had already listened to the entire New Testament on the audio
Bible they had been given in March.
Chava was so impacted by the message of the Truth that he said he no
longer fears death! Selerina gave
testimony that she had also been approaching the Lord daily in prayer, and that
the Lord had responded!: her distant son, who had not talked with his parents
in 12
years, called last month to ask their forgiveness and express a desire to
be part of their lives again! A parents’
dream! And a miracle that only God can work!
As
Paco witnessed the impact of the Word of God on the lives of the people, he
wished they could have more frequent Bible teaching than just his monthly
trips. And, on this trip, he found a pastor of a
small (12
person) church in the county seat town of Ixcamilpa.
Paco was
received into Pastor Domingo’s home where he shared his desire for the smaller
villages of the county to receive regular Bible teaching. Domingo accepted joining Paco for his evening
Bible study in the Buenavista village the following night. He is of very humble means, and limited Bible
training himself, but has a heart for the Lord.
As they discussed the ministry, the pastor commented that the Lord had
given him a dream years earlier of many people coming out of the Ixcamilpa
villages to know and serve the Lord, but that God had told him a minister from
outside the community would start the revival, and that Domingo would work with
him. Though he did not know if the dream
referred specifically to Paco, he was interested in witnessing the ministry
and
seeing how the Lord would lead them.
We
pray that they can continue to work together on future trips to minister in the
small villages of Ixcamilpa to spread the Gospel of God’s love.
