PRECIOUS SOULS FOR CHRIST!

One of our main ministries is reaching the mountain communities for Christ—areas where the Gospel has yet to arrive and where there are no churches to preach the Word of God. Throughout the year, we organize trips to various towns to hold evangelistic campaigns and share God’s Word. Last year, God enabled us to make several trips, during which we distributed Biblical materials such as Bibles, New Testaments, and tracts to families. Our goal is to ensure that each household in these communities receives some portion of God’s Word. In addition, we bring gifts such as food, toys for the children, or school supplies for the children to use. We carry chairs, microphones, speakers, guitars, and a pulpit; and we preach the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ wherever we can find space. These campaigns are always a blessing, not only because of the wonderful time we share but also because so many souls come to Christ. God works through these efforts, rewarding us by allowing us to witness this blessing.

This January, we made the first trip of the year to a new mountain community. Glory to God, we found hearts receptive and tender to His Word, and many accepted our invitation to come and listen. We gathered a group of 57 adults and 94 children and young people. They heard the message of Christ, and nearly all of them accepted Him as their Saviour. We give all of the glory to Him for these precious souls.

We never undertake this work alone; we always have people accompanying and supporting us. During this trip, a group of 10 joined us, helping to visit homes and invite people to the event—a significant help. At each event, we strive to collect family contacts to maintain communication, encourage their spiritual growth, and provide follow-up. While it is true that these areas lack Bible-believing churches where they can congregate, we do what we can, whether through return visits or by staying in touch via phone to share God’s Word. We do what is within our power, knowing that everything we do for the Lord is not in vain. The seed is planted.

Thank you for your prayers for us and for the investments you make to ensure that the work of God continues to move forward.

We ask for your prayers for:

• Our health and a special family request.
• God’s provision in every need.
• Wisdom and guidance.
• Encouragement and spiritual strength.
• Lost souls without Christ—that we may reach as many as possible.
• God to continue to bless every ministry and family actively supporting missions financially.
• God to provide a van for our ministry.

Thank you, and may God bless each one of you.

His servants,

Arturo & Ismerai Garza
