On Sunday, November 6, 2022, the third Bible Church plant in Ixtapaluca celebrated its 6th anniversary. The church initiated in 2016 in a nearby neighborhood called Palmas 1, thus the name (Iglesia Bíblica Sendero de Vida Palmas, or Path of Life Bible Church Palmas).

A different post this Saturday morning. It’s easy to fall into the trap of talking about progress and success in life and ministry. Yes, good intentions do not matter nearly so much as concrete results. If I hear the phrase “strategic planning” one more time, I will scream. Yet focusing on the positive end-results can
If you’ve been following this blog at all you are aware that we’ve been receiving student interns from Word of Life Bible Institute Mexico since this past October. First Rebeca, Matheus and Cheila, then Karen and Alejandra as well. Our already busy house got even fuller on the weekends. Ministry opportunities included kicking off a
