Our summer ministry has gone through some significant changes over the past 10 years or so, from being primarily a time we received summer interns (a record number of interns in 2006 and 2007), to primarily receiving church groups (an average of 4-5 groups per summer, from 2016, except during COVID). Last summer, largely due …
Talk about a rebound! After two years with zero visitors because of the pandemic, this summer possibly set a record for visitors. We received a total of five church teams, all of them from Pennsylvania, and four Liebenzell USA interns. Throw in a couple kids (do they count as visitors?) and our grand total is …
We have been pleased to host two church groups over the past two weeks. Gary, Kathy, Denny, Matt, Melissa, Ken, Diana and Jackie from Word of Life Chapel ministered in the Jesus Maria church, and were engaged in two primary activities: baking/cooking classes and electrical work. The team was actually an official I-TEC team as …
Our summer started off with a bang, receiving three Liebenzell U.S.A. interns (Joshua, Amanda and Rafael), as well as a team of 18 people from Mount Calvary Church. A couple notables about the Mt. Calvary team…there were a lot of father/mother and son/daughter combos, the guys outnumbered the girls 12 to 6, and nearly everyone …
This year was the second year for our DVBS program in the relatively new (2 1/2 year old) Palmas 1 church. After having relatively low numbers last year, we were all excited to see how many kids would attend this year’s club. The first three days, between 53-56 kids were present, and we finished out …

We’re looking forward to a great time with Hope Community Church, coming soon to help with our first DVBS in the new church in Palmas 1. Here is a brief summary of what’s been going on here so far this summer, with two videos at the end of this post. A group of 19 (plus …
I didn’t have opportunity to post this past week…probably because I was too exhausted to do so! But now that the group from Mount Calvary is probably just about home, I’ll post a quick review of the week. Among the activities…a soccer tournament, two outreach events with about 90 reading glasses and 25 hearing aids …
The Fry family had a great time this past weekend visiting friends in Rio Blanco, Veracruz, very close to Orizaba. Karen Mendez spent around 7 months with us last year, visiting us every weekend and helping with the ministry here as a Word of Life Bible Institute Mexico intern. Karen’s parents are in leadership at …
What a week we had this past week! Sort of a blur, actually, but the results remain. The Jesús María church now has a concrete stage area with baptistry. New LED lights were installed in the ceiling. Lots and lots of wheel barrels full of gravel and sand hauled by some seriously committed men and …
Here are some short video clips of our time with Denny Mohr and the Connect Group from Bainbridge, PA. Among our activities…the first weekend the group was in Ixtapaluca helping with a hearing aid and eye glass outreach. Mayra gave the good news after a skit and a song. On Sunday afternoon we left for …
