FBC Missions Highlight - week of July 20 Pray for our six volunteers going to Salvatierra, Mexico July 26 - August 1. Those going are Ron Boyd, Mike and Eva Gay, Kim Kincer, Sam Newman and Margarita Young. The flight will take approximately 8 hours, leaving at 6:00 am from the Lexington airport. The team will be traveling to the Queretavo airport where they will be met by Pastor Jaime of the Iglesia Bautista Church. The church in Salvatierra is our partner in Mexico. We hope to provide an atmosphere of fellowship, spiritual growth and an understanding of Christian brotherhood. Presently the church body of 40 - 50 people meet in a large car repair garage which belongs to Pastor Jaime and his family. The group is mainly women, as the men in the area do not take an active role in family or church activities. We are expecting 100 children as we provide Vacation Bible School in the evenings in the huge garage. Margarita, of our Hispanic Ministry, will serve as one translator and we will meet a new friend, Adrian Niles, who will also translate for us. During the day we will work in the neighborhood passing out flyers and distributing Bibles to those who express an interest. We are able to transport 50 Bibles and pray God will provide those whose hearts are ready for His Word. Iglesia Bautista has purchased land to built a church and has already placed stones for a foundation on the property to show walls and rooms. Our goal will be to have a large festival at the site and invite everyone in the community to celebrate with food, games and singing while we later break ground at the church site. This will make it a community church for all. Working with Larry Baker, our Associational Director of Missions, we hope to travel again after Christmas. Pray for your team! Pray for safety, health and a vision for the community of Salvatierra, Mexico. We are a First Baptist team in this international mission project to reach people for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. In Matthew 28:19 Jesus said GO unto the uttermost part of the earth. Please pray as these men and women obey the command to GO, teach and disciple!
