During the first week of April, John Ferry Baptist Church fro Marietta, Georgia brought down the
largest group ever to our camp, the Gateway.
They brought 306 people this
year.
They came for a week of ministry.
Cesar along with the Mexico set up
team set up the trip.
During the trip JFBC built 21 small houses (see the
pictures), did door to door evangelism, had a medical clinic, had two
different VBS sites, had 3 different feeding programs each day, visited a
youth detention center, and much more.
Approximately 301 people accepted
Jesus during this week.
Praise God!
This year JFBC worked with three pastors in three different colonias.
Pastor Donato, Pastor Pedro and Pastor Ivan.
Here is one of the testimonies that was posted on our aim web site during
the trip:
Today was a great day! The houses are coming along beautifully. Several of
them are almost finished. It is such a blessing to the families.
The other ministries are going very well too. Students are stepping out and
doing things that they would not normally do. Some are praying out loud for
the first time, sharing their testimonies, and others are listening to God
in a new way. Many of the students are hearing from the Lord and putting it
into action. During one student’s prayers, he heard “bicycle”. He wasn’t
sure what this meant, but circumstances brought him to a house where four
boys were working on a bike. He shared with them and all four of them came
to Christ! It is amazing how God orchestrates things all together for His
glory!
