Merida Missions

The Merida, Mexico Mission Team experienced a great amount of love on our trip.  We were blessed to be in Merida during Valentines Day and were asked to speak at the Valentine's banquets for two different churches.  Sunday morning was a special opportunity to preach in the service and to teach about men's ministry during Sunday School.  The evenings were spent leading a church leadership conference, one of the main reasons for the trip.  Bro. Craig Blakeslee spoke each night to the leaders of children's ministry in the churches and then I spoke to the whole group about issues concerning vision, unity, values, discipleship, conflict resolution, and small groups.  We appreciate the Lord's work in bringing us together with ministers from across Merida and allowing us a brief time to disciple them.

We also led in a few evangelistic services where we saw the Lord strengthen small churches and reach several who accepted the Lord as their Savior.  Praise the Lord for each one and for the many who heard the word.

We were blessed with great weather, safe travel, and wonderful food.  Thank you to all who prayed for us and for the Lord to work through us.

On Mission Daily,
Bro. Wade
