“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. ”

A NEW SEASON
To everything there is a season, and we sense a new season upon us. Longevity in commitment has proven to produce very good fruit. Faithful construction and medical teams have served alongside of us for years now helping thousands of people. In addition we are seeing "the Lord is good to those who wait for Him.” Lamentations 3:25.
Cayun from Lacandon
After many years of outreach to the Lacandon people of Nahá, MXO had the privilege of constructing a block church building in this remote village (Pictured Above). The people in the white tunics are among the purest bloodline known to the original Mayan people. Two of our IBI graduates minister here. One is a Lacandon named Cayun, who shares the love of Jesus in his own dialect called Maya. The dedication of this building was a historical event both in the natural and the spiritual since the Mexican government protects this people group.
“Your songs have changed our lives!” This quote was said by a pastor in Mexico to songwriter/worship leader, Jared Anderson, and rings true for us all. People of Mexico have followed Jared’s music for years, and many of his songs have been translated into Spanish. We recently enjoyed hosting the Anderson Family in Oaxaca, and clearly witnessed that God’s perfect timing was worth the wait. God’s intense presence in all the gatherings revealed that the Lord was doing a deep work in all of our lives.
We feel this is only the beginning of great days ahead in Mexico. Thank you for being a part of God’s purposes!
FBC-Texarkana Teams
We are so grateful for FBC-Texarkana who has sent teams for many years and built many churches! Their trips generally are in remote areas that require tent camping and more primitive conditions.

In Memory of Al Brown
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend, Al Brown, on April 15, 2022. Yet we know he is reunited with his wife, Mickey, in the presence of our Lord.
Church Construction Requests
A generous food offering often is given with a construction request. This was an honorable gesture and the turkey became mole de pavo the next day.
