Pictures of Us Preparing Gift Packages For Christmas 2010 in Chiapas

Today we have a large event planned for Tzemembolom, Chiapas Mexico. We’ll be handing out 500 toys and gift packages to needy kids in this Tzotzlil Indian Community.

We have a public auditoriom set aside for this event and will also have clowns, special music (Cristi will be playing the guitar and singing).

Tomorrow we’ll be doing the same type of Event en San Juan Chamula.

In addition to giving our gifts we’ll be giving people the opportunity to accept God’s gift- Jesus Christ!

Here’s a few photos of the gift preparations.

The Little STAR of Christmas

Little Star Book By Anthony DeStefano

The Star of Christmas is Jesus.

That’s why it’s frustrating when people wish you “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”?

90% of the Christmas books have to do with Santa and Frosty and Rudolph and the Elves—with hardly even a mention of Jesus Christ.

How can we teach our children and grandchildren the true meaning of Christmas in a world that is so dominated by a secular humanist, anti-Christian philosophy?

Little Star Book by Anthony DeStefanoLittle Star Book By Anthony DeStefano

We need to introduce Children as early as possible to the real story of the Birth of Jesus. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to give them a brand new children’s book—one that is already being hailed as a true Christian classic It’s called Little Star .

Little Star Video By Pat Boone

In the following Video Pat Boone reads the story of the Little Star.

This is the story of the Star of Bethlehem. He is the “smallest star in the heavens,” but on the night Jesus is born, he shines the brightest in order to warm the baby king and his family.

This video and book not only introduces children to the true meaning of Christmas, but to the whole message of the Gospel! For in shining his light on the Holy Family throughout the bitter cold night, Little Star burns himself out, and in doing so, demonstrates the meaning of Christ-like, sacrificial love.

My Daughter Cristi and I just watched the video of the Little Star. Although Cristi is 10 years old and I’m a little older we were both touched by this story.

I hope you enjoyed the video. You can purchase the book using the link below:

Children’s Bible’s In Tzenembolon

We recently passed out almost 500 Children’s Bibles in Tzotzil.

The Bibles were donated by the American Bible Society of Mexico.

These children’s Bible include the Gospel of Mark. Coloring pages, stickers and a dvd with  with both Spanish and Tzotzil languages. The dvd is great since illiteracy is a major problem with the Indians.
Tzeneembolon is located about 2 and a half hours from us.:

Feliz Navidad With The Tzotlzil Indians

We’re in the middle of handing out 2100 toys to the Children in the Tzotzil Indian tribes where we minister.

So far we’ve handed out over 1500 toys and goodies to these very appreciative children, The smiles aon their faces tell the whole story.

Clowns, music, puppets, toys, candy and pinatas are just part of the fiestas.  These children have never experienced such a party like this before. It is a Christmas that they will remember.

We wish you could be here to see them enjoy a small gift that would be meaningless to the more fortunate.

Here’s a small unedited video from one of the villages where we minister in the regions of Chenalho, Chiapas, Mexico. Hope you enjoy it:

Under Heavy Affliction in Tzanembolom

Congregration in Tzanembolom

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.

San Juan Cosala Children’s Feeding Program

We started our first church in San Juan Cosala, Jalisco Mexico.

This project began with a weekly Ministry to the children. We were the first and ONLY Gospel Church in this hard to reach town.

The ministry has always thrived and the Pastors are doing an en excellent job. The church has already purchased a piece of property and will be moving to the new location soon. There is no building yet, so everyone will meet under a tarp until it is constructed.

On June 14th I took photos of our children’s ministry which began in 2001.

Activities today included:

  • Bible Study
  • Puppets
  • Songs
  • Learning a Bible Verse
