December 2025

Through the faithful efforts of many in this ministry, children are learning to apply biblical, Christian principles for every area of their lives. Parents and church leaders who have committed to using AMO® are inspiring their children through stories, creative arts, Bible reading that builds reasoning, and learning about God’s providential work throughout history and in their own lives.

Your prayers, your involvement in any of the many ways you serve, and/or your financial support make it possible for us to continue serving a growing community of families and churches in Mexico and beyond. Through training, mentoring, and sharing the vision of preparing the next generation, we are helping raise up servant-leaders who think clearly and creatively, write and read well, love learning, and keep their hearts centered on Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Please pray with us:

  1. Give thanks for the Lord’s provision and guidance throughout 2025.
  2. Seek His vision and direction with us as we enter 2026.
  3. Pray for new opportunities—doors are opening in the United States, in new regions of Mexico, and for the preparation of additional trainers this coming year.
  4. Continue to cover this ministry in prayer throughout 2026, and please consider financially supporting the work. You can donate by clicking here, which will take you to The Antioch Partners website where several giving options are available. Thank you for your generosity!

As we celebrate this Advent season, we pray that the Lord blesses each of you with joy, peace, and good health. We are deeply grateful for your partnership.

Dear Friends,

We are deeply grateful for your faithful prayers and encouragement. Please join us in praying for these specific needs and opportunities:

Chris and Francelia McReynolds
  • Pray for new AMO® Program trainers — that God would raise up additional trainers so more families and churches across Mexico and Latin America can flourish in His Word and make disciples. Pray for us as our team prepares for the nine-month trainer’s course which begins March 2026.
  • Pray for current AMO trainers everywhere — Pray for renewed strength and vision for these volunteer trainers who desire to reach their communities in greater ways. Pray for the churches they contact to have vision and determination to inspire and teach the next generations.
  • Pray for pastors meeting in Oaxaca and Chihuahua — in October, fifty pastors from five states gathered in Oaxaca for Sola Scriptura, a three-year commitment to meet twice a year for training. They are learning and applying expository preaching tools in their sermon preparation throughout the year. Pray for a second group that will begin meeting in Chihuahua this November. Pray for Rev. Robert Gatto who trains these pastors and for a leadership team to come together to reach the nation.
  • Pray for the leadership of the Presbyterian seminaries in Mexico — that God would give them wisdom, provision, and clear vision for preparing future church leaders.
  • Pray for us — as we approach 2026, may the Lord give us His direction and steps for fulfilling His will in every area of the ministry in Mexico and beyond.
  • Pray for our sending organization, The Antioch Partners (Houston, TX) — a small but mighty team that faithfully serves us through prayer, administrative support, and processing funds. Your donations designated to “McReynolds Ministry” are important and deeply appreciated.

Estimados hermanos,

Estamos profundamente agradecidos por sus fieles oraciones y ánimo. Por favor, únanse a nosotros en oración por estas necesidades y oportunidades específicas:

Estudiantes de Biblicus
  • Oren por nuevos instructores del Programa AMO® — Que Dios levante instructores adicionales para que más familias e iglesias en México y América Latina puedan ser restauradas y florecer en Su Palabra. La inscripción para el curso de formación de nueve meses, que comenzará en marzo de 2026, ya está abierta.
  • Oren por los instructores actuales de AMO — Por favor, oren por fuerza renovada y visión para estos instructores voluntarios que desean impactar sus comunidades de manera más profunda. Oren también por las iglesias en todo lugar que enfrentan el desafiante reto de elevar el nivel de educación y discipulado para sus hijos.
  • Oren por nosotros — Al acercarnos al 2026, que el Señor nos dé dirección y pasos para cumplir Su voluntad en cada área del ministerio en México y más allá.
  • Oren por nuestra organización enviadora, The Antioch Partners (Houston, TX) — Un equipo pequeño pero poderoso que nos sirve fielmente a través de la oración, apoyo administrativo y procesamiento financiero. Sus donaciones designadas a “Ministerio McReynolds” son vitales y profundamente apreciadas.

En Cristo,

Chris y Francelia
