Dear Friends,

Following the September earthquakes that devastated towns in Oaxaca and Chiapas, the Assemblies of God Church in Mexico made a plan to help. They called on us to help with Christian education for children at homes and churches. The need is great since public schools are still not holding regular classes.

We’ve been meeting with congregations everyday this week in Juchitán, Oaxaca, and surrounding towns. We are teaching biblical worldview materials and inviting them to attend next week’s AMO® Program training in nearby Salina Cruz. AMO Trainers, Esther Suarez, joined us on Wednesday to cover more churches, and Gloria Viveros will join us next week.

Many here are fasting and praying for this AMO training. We ask for your prayers for safety and success and, if you like, join in fasting. Encourage the people here by letting us know you plan to do so. If you’d like to help with funding, please donate through The Antioch Partners/McReynolds.

PRAISES! The nine month, Chrysalis International, AMO Trainer of Teachers class finished their online portion yesterday. We are very thankful for Dr. Elizabeth Youmans and others who devoted themselves to disciple these new trainers for Mexico and several other countries in Latin America. Now, each Mexican participant will be evaluated by Francelia and I as they carry out their own five-day AMO Trainings. Please, pray for them and pray that God will use each of them in His plan to transform the nation.
