And an angel of the Lord said to them, “Do not be afraid; for I bring you good news of great joy.”
Luke 2:10
“GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST”
There was with the angel a multitude of heavenly host… saying “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” Luke 2:13,14.
During this Christmas season, we want to express our gratitude to all of you who have made the ministry of Mexico Outreach possible. Through your prayers, trips to Mexico and financial contributions, the “Good News” could be shared with the people of Mexico. Because of your gifts: church buildings have been built, widows received block houses, a new dormitory is being constructed, orphans have been ministered to, the two Bible school campuses conducted leaders training sessions quarterly, homes for our two staff members have been built, medical campaigns were held in remote villages, conferences for youth and women ministered to many, children’s services were held including a VBS in Chenalho, Bibles, blankets, beans, rice and many other gifts were distributed, US teams served along side of our local MX teams and the list goes on. As always, our primary focus in all of this has been to share the gospel message of Christ our Savior and to show the love of God.
This photo and the one above of angels are from the women’s conference in November. Hilda brings great beauty in worship through leading a praise dance team. They remind us of the Christmas message which brings joy and peace to each of us willing to receive it. We are not alone and neither are you. Together we can fulfill God’s purposes and walk through life’s seasons of challenge without fear. We praise and declare “Glory to God in the highest!”
Merry Christmas to you and your family and may 2023 be the best year for us all, filled with fresh joy and peace!

Oaxaca Medical Campaign
Last September a medical campaign was conducted in Jalapa de Diaz and various communities of Usila, Oaxaca. Team members were from the states of LA and CA, Tuxtepec and local areas of Oaxaca. Destinations were several hours drive (or by boat) from Tuxtepec.
Many thanks to Dr. Jim Nichols and wife, Carmen, who have compassionately served those in need in Mexico for many years.

Access Church-FL Team
Tremendous blessings!
The team from Access Church led by Pastor Ryan Jordan financed and built block homes for two Chenalho widows.
One was for Margarita. Her son, Fernando (front and center) was the first family member to accept Jesus at 12 years old through Chenalho children’s outreach. He bought the land for his widowed mother.
The other was for Maria and her daughter, Juana.
