Just in case you’ve been following the news and are wondering about us.-

There is a big scare with the swine flu. All the schools are closed here where we live.. People are wearing face masks and all the stores are out of vitamin C.

We want to let you know that we are ok.

We have been traveling to many different churches this week with a musician from Chile.
Today we are in Juarez Chiapas starting a new Church using a concert to draw new people to the new work.

We are canceling the rest of the tour after today because the Mexican government has prohibited public meetings because of the epidemic..

Tomorrow we will go back to our house . Thursday we will be with the Tzeltal Indians with a another New Church plant.

Thanks for your prayers.

I just recently ministered at the beach in Puerto Arista, Chiapas.

Several Churches were invited. There were baptisms, seafood and lots of sunshine.

The beach here has no large hotels or modern structures but we did manage to secure a very nice place to meet.

We also invited the Tzotzil Indians. 18 of them got to see the beach for their very first time.

Hope you enjoy the video and the photos:

The Nemer Family has served Christ as missionaries since 1987.

Our Mission is to “MAKE DISCIPLES FOR CHRIST AND ESTABLISH INDIGENOUS CHURCHES”

We are currently located in the mountains in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. We travel to the Chenalho communities where we work with Tzotzil and Tzetal Indian tribes.

The 5 aspects of our ministry can best be described using the P.E.A.C.E PLAN:

1. Planting Churches      (to attack spiritual lostness)
2. Equipping Servant leaders      (to attack ego-centric leadership)
3. Assisting the Poor      (to attack poverty)
4. Care for the sick      (to attack disease)
5. Educating the next Generation      (to attack illiteracy and minister to children)

We are also the International directors for Unanimous Ministries which provides a spiritual and support covering for a growing number of Churches and Ministries.

The Poorest of the Poor.
Recently we ministered in an Indian village of 400 people called Tzanembolom.
This is one of the poorest villages I have ever visited. Despite the cool weather many of the Indians were without proper shoes or clothing to protect them from the weather.
It was especially heartbreaking to see the children without shoes.  This Christmas we will be giving a toy and personal necessities to these very poor Indian children. You can be a part by sending in your special donations. Don’t miss this opportunity to give a real Christmas experience to some really needy children.
Now, more than ever, These Children need Hope and Love!

From Tzanembolom- Nov 16, 2008

Martyred in Tzanembolom

This is the same village in which Diego Rodriguez Pastors a church of over 200 people which is half the population.
On Oct 15, 1997 the Zapatistas entered Tzanembolom and began to cut up Indian residents with their machetes.  Pastor Diego was strung up to a post and prepared to be killed. However, while his friends were being massacred he managed to escape with his life. As Pastor Diego told me the story he couldn’t help but to weep. Many of his family members and close friends were martyred this day
Sadly, this is only one of the many Christian Indian tribes that suffered the loss of lives and have been persecution because of their faith in Christ.

We have been going through some difficult times with the ministry and even in our own personal lives. Trials and Difficult times are a part of life. Robbie Goodwin just described these in her most recent post called The Wilderness Place.

Greg With Pastor Mariano

It’s not an accident that She wrote about this. Many people are going through trials.  Times like this are not easy, but most of the time they are necessary if we want to be like Christ. It’s like an unspoken law. “If you want to be a successful person, who have to pay the price”. It’s as sure as the law of gravity. What comes up must come down. It’s always the darkest just before you break through to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Pastor Mariano's Funeral

We just attended the funeral For the Apostle of the 25 Indian Churches that we provide a spiritual covering for. It’s a very sad time for us and for these Indian Pastors and leaders and an even sadder time for his immediate family.  They are passing through a dark time in their lives. They need hope, support and encouragement. Please pray for them because God wants to take them to a more excellent place.

Success in life doesn’t come easy. Ask any successful minister or business person.  We see a successful person accomplishments but most of the time, only a few people (and God ) knows the price they paid to obtain  that success.

Despite these difficult times, we are expecting a spiritual and material breakthrough not only for our lives her in Mexico but also for yours!

We are expecting God to move in a big way. We are expecting something BIG!

I have been ministering for the past month on subjects related to the promised land and the price to get there. Here’s my past months ministry titles:

• September 21, 2008- Tuxtla Gutierrrez.”How the sickness of escusitis keeps us from Obtaining big things”. I used Exodus 3 and 4 as my text and described how Moses gave excuses to God, “Who am I?” What should I say? What if they don’t believe me? I am slow of speech”  Are excuses keeping you from being successful? Are you a positive person?

• September 28, 2008- San Cristobal de las Casas. “Obstacles to Receiving Blessings” Text: Nubers 14 & 14. How Moses sent the 12 spys into the promised land and 10 out of 12 of them only saw the Giants. But Joshua and Caleb said that the land of promise is ours for the taking. Are you prepared to pay the price to enter into the land of promise?

• October 3rd, 2008- 1 day after Apostle Mariano became very sick and stopped responding. Praying for God’s perfect will (The Lord’s Prayer, Matthew 6) Don’t worry, Trust God. For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

• October 5th, 2008- Villa Flores.  Matthew 6:23 Seek His Kingdom and His Righteousness first and all these things will be added unto you. Don’t concentrate on your problems, stop worrying. Concentrate on what you can give, not what you can get. When you do, your problems wont seem so big. There’s always someone with worst problems than you have.

A cultural note on burial customs:

On October 7th, 2008. Pastor Mariano goes home to meet the Lord.

It is now October 9th, 2008 . The Indians have taken over 2 days to mourn his lost. By now there is a foul, almost unbearable odor since they do not do anything to the body. The casket is already closed to cover the smell. Can you imagine the memory that is etched into our minds. One day later our clothes still bore the smell since the aerosol spray cans that were used to try and cover the odor only served to attach the mixed odor to everything in within 15 foot of the casket. Here’s the message that was delivered from Genesis 2:7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. He went from Ashes to Ashes, from Dust to Dust.

The Lord Will Rescue You

This past week I ministered on Jeremiah 1:19.  They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Anything  that is worth having is worth fighting for. The easy road is not always the best road . Fight the good fight.

I feel like this is a word from the Lord for everyone.  Sometimes it can be of comfort to know that we are not passing through the desert alone.  Our prayer is that you will not give up. The Lord will rescue you. The promised land is near and is yours for the taken. If you’re in a fight for your life, you’re right in the middle of the very best moments of your life. Be encouraged, your closer today than you have ever been before.

May God fulfill all  of your dreams and visions!

Last week Jeff and Dustin Edwards Visited us. Our group also consisted of Edwin and Antonio, who are a couple of young men that I am discipling. We went Tzalchen where we the Indians are building a church. We picked up heavy concrete that were the remnants of the old church building. The Tzotzil Indians have made rapid progress on this building.

Apostle Mariano’s wife is the Pastor of this growing church.

This is a great effort on her part as she has to travel 2 hours from Chenahlo to get to her mission. Also, since she is a woman, the traditional Indians have criticized her greatly for her labors as a Pastor,

Apostle Mariano, Has been criticized even more for allowing her to go by herself. Tradition says that a Woman must follow at a mans side. Apostle Mariano says that he would rather face criticism from man rather than have to tell God that he prohibited his wife from doing God’s will.

Here’s the video, you’ll also notice that Eric, Dave and Leah appear in The video. They were guest of Ricky Parker, who is also helping us in Unanimous Ministries

As missionaries, are we meeting the greatest needs of those we are ministering to?
This is a constant concern and the effectiveness of any missionary that you are considering support should be at the forefront of your thoughts. As a missionary , I have seen effective missionaries and I have seen uneffective missionaries. There are those who go full speed ahead and there are thos who are just lazy. I am not saying that we are any better than any other person. Our goal is simply to become more effective in the activities, methods and services that we perform on the field.

Here’s how we are addressing the needs of the Mexican people:
CHURCH PLANTING
This is our #1 Priority. The goal of raising up new indigenous churches and filling them with disciples for Christ is God’s passion. In Jalisco we left behind 3 church plants and now with the birth of Unanimous Ministries here in Chiapas we continue with this goal in a more effective manner.
EQUIPPING SERVANT LEADERS• We are training up new leaders on a daily basis

ASSISTING THE POOR
Jesus said that whatever you have done for the least of these (the poor…, the sick…, the children) you have done for me. We are ministering to these needs by going to the poorest regions of Latin America.

CARING FOR THE SICK
Constant medical teams visits from other countries and parts of Mexico enable us to minister to disease, sickness, dental, and more medical issues.

EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION- CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Jesus tells us that children are his heartbeat and that we should not despise them. On a weekly basis we are meeting poor children’s needs through meals and Biblical education.

Have a great day!

Greg
