We want to thank the Lord for providing us with the much needed ambulance for the prison in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. We have been praying for several months and it truly is a miracle how it was obtained. To make a long story short we only had a little over $400.00 set aside for its acquisition. Though this amount… Read More »
On July the 30th we posted a story about Mario and some of the battles that he has been going through these past few months. His two adult daughters are on the run (at least we are praying so) from the Gulf Cartel, and also his son was bludgeoned to death by the same on May the 6th.… Read More »
(All names have been changed for discretion sake. God knows the people and their real names.) Today I was smacked in the face again with the perspective of just what constitutes problems. It is so easy to become aggravated because you feel someone has been rude to you. Maybe you have been spoken to in a demeaning way, perhaps because you… Read More »
Violence is beginning to surge again in our sector of Mexico. The Zetas have also made a resurgence, and according to news reports have ramped up their fighting with the Gulf Cartel stronger than ever. This past Tuesday (as can be seen by these photos) the Mexican military found an underground hiding spot containing rifles, grenade launchers and… Read More »
This past week was anything but uneventful concerning news of Cartel violence here in our corner of God’s field. On Tuesday (June 23rd) I was ministering in the prison at Santa Adelaida. The talk of the prison was the gun battles that took place the previous night in Matamoros, but I personally received other reports on Tuesday that… Read More »
This past Tuesday was very hot. The air was thick, heavy and musty. As we walked up the gloomy dark winding staircase to the third floor where the Zeta’s are being held and punished in isolation by the Gulf Coast Cartel, it was hard to see because there were no lights. The only light provided was coming through the… Read More »
Well, I made it back to the border and it was good to get back in the prison in Santa Adelaida again. However, it wasn’t without a little drama. One thing can always be counted on when it comes to dealing with the prisons here. You can expect the policies to change without warning. Once again today it… Read More »
Todays events just go to show how volatile the situation in Mexico really is. You never know from one day to the next whether it will be calm or filled with violence. I was at the prison in Reynosa yesterday and all seemed calm, but today, the very same areas where I travelled erupted with gunfights between the… Read More »
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” Revelation 5:9 Over the years we have been asked several times how we have… Read More »
Dear friends, this is a note that we received from José Luis the other day on the back of one of his studies. We are so thankful for all the men and women that are participating in them because we have seen the hand of God move on their lives as they diligently scrutinize God’s Word. Presently, in the prison… Read More »
