December 2025 Newsletter

Luke 2:10 — “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”

In the middle of a busy holiday season — with plans, pressures, and expectations pulling in every direction — God speaks the same words the angels spoke on that first Christmas night: Do not be afraid. The message of Jesus’ birth wasn’t just an announcement; it was an invitation to breathe, to rest, and to receive the joy God offers. In every moment — quiet or chaotic — His presence is enough.

Celebrating What God Is Building Through Ministry Builders

What an incredible night for Ministry Builders! Our banquet was completely sold out, and the room was filled to max capacity with people who believe in the mission of strengthening pastors, churches, and communities in Mexico.

Thank you to the guests who made the evening so meaningful. Your generosity helps us continue equipping local leaders, building churches, reaching the lost, and expanding opportunities for short-term teams to serve.

We are grateful to link arms with you in the spirit of 1 Corinthians 3:9: “For we are co-workers in God’s service.” Together, we are building ministry that lasts.

If you weren’t able to attend but still want to partner with us, you can give here.

Christmas in Chiapas

Our team is working hard this week to bring Christmas to the children of Chiapas! They spent the past two day clothes shopping with the children of Casa Hogar Alegre, buying gifts for them and throwing a huge Christmas party with pizza, ice cream, performances and more. Today they are traveling to Chenlahó and will spend time visiting different churches, sharing the Christmas story and gift out goodie bags. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project!
