DAVE & SHERI DEBOLT - EMMANUEL MEXICO MISSION

"ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND"

The words of this old hymn reminds us of who we believe in.  "There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to one hope when you were called - one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."  Ephesians 4:4-6  The scriptures remind us of who we believe in and who we are, but most importantly who we live for and serve.

Exactly half of my life has now been dedicated to Christian ministry.  Has the latter half been more easy than the first?  NO!  There have been more challenges physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Sometimes we are put in positions of leadership to defend the faith we believe in and defend the reasons we answered the call to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Along the way, some have abandoned us, some have questioned our ways.  I'm reminded that even the closest of Jesus's followers denied and abandoned Him.  Those verses from Ephesians 4 remind us of our Christian heritage and Christian doctrine.  We are placed here to share the Church of Christ doctrine only and defend our beliefs in Jesus Christ.

We were, "created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."  Ephesians 4:24  In the NIV Thompson Chain Reference Bible there is a heading beside these verses.  "Lessons in Christ School".  Teaching, Christ, the Truth.  As many have said the best school is called "Life".  I call it "Living for Jesus".

As this year is coming to a close we look back on the many challenges that faced us.  Here we are close to entering a new year with our faith stronger than ever, our convictions to serve the Church of Christ stronger than ever and ready for new opportunities to boldly say "ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND."  I believe in Jesus Christ, I proudly can say I am "Christian only and I live for and serve the Church of Christ."  "I'm a Christian" no matter the circumstances, are you?

NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN 2019:

A.  The Iglesia de Cristo (Church of Christ) is growing once again.  They will be given the opportunity to have more space for more outreach such as graded Sunday School space for both the children, teens and adults.   

B.  We will take on more Mission responsabilities and outreach to the inner city as well as Mexico as more funds become available.  Plans are to help young adults in need of a home while they study.  Much like a Christian campus house.  

C.  The Food Pantry is ready to serve orphans, widows, the San Luis Potosi Bible College and who ever else is in need.

D.  Not only a Food Pantry will be available, but a place for clothes and other articles for the Inner City people.

E.  Inner City VBS, outreach and camps both in the north and south are already on the 2019 calendar.

F.  Raise more personal support for Jose who is the minister of the Ontañon Church.  One church has already adopted Jose and is supporting him with a monthly gift.  

These are just a few of the ministries that Emanuel Mexico Mission will be involved in.  Are the funds available for all this and more?  It depends on our Faith in God and your trust in us.  We are one in Jesus Christ!  Thank you for praying, giving and believing in us.

David DeBolt
