Bible School of the Nations - Outreach and Graduation

The bible school is very close to my heart, and being able to lead it in 2025 has been an awesome opportunity. The last time i shared about it, we were half way through outreach and on our way to Chiapas. In Chiapas we taught a two week seminar in the town of San Caralampio. The people there were mostly of indigenous descent and many had migrated from Guatemala. We taught our seminar and spent time with our fellow YWAM missionary Nery. He works full time in the state of Chiapas as it is his home state.

Our students were mostly teenagers and new members of the church. The people in chiapas are very quiet people. It was a bit difficult with the activities because of their timid nature, but we persisted. After completing all 10 classes, everyone had learned a lot.

While in Chiapas we stayed with a missionary family from Argentina and Colombia.

We returned from outreach to a very empty base. Many people have transitioned out of the base and many had taken their vacation during the summer. So instead of a graduation ceremony, we had a lunch with the base staff that were in the city, and we encouraged the students and celebrated their accomplishments in a much more intimate setting.

Grace Short term Missions - Tapalpa

As you may remember from earlier in the summer, our bible school team taught a seminar for two weeks in a town called Tapalpa. Grace community church which is a great supporter of our ministry here in Mexico, came with their yearly short term team and also visited Tapalpa. We had an awesome time with the Grace team and helped in translation and with their ministries. Their activities included kids ministry and adult study groups. Most of the people that were present from the community were students in the seminars from earlier in the summer. This was great because Carmen and I were able to continue our relationship with the friends we had made and contribute to their further growth as they had formed a new church.
