GMA CORONATION SERVICE

Since its conception, the Girls Missionary Auxiliary has been a vital part of mission support. Young girls from BMA Baptist churches learn about missions and missionaries, but participate in missions as well. As God has taken missionaries to far lands, He has taken auxiliary ministries with them. GMA’s is one of those ministries.

Last Sunday First Baptist Huejutla celebrated the promotion of 33 young ladies to different levels in the GMA organization. Each one of them has to read missionary biographies, learn Bible verses, and work with the church visiting one of its 14 missions.

At the end of the year each girl is tested on their knowledge. The girls that pass get to participate in the coronation service. We pray that each one of these girls will continue to be mighty warriors for the Lord.

Special Service at Town Square

We are blessed that our county has once again allowed us to hold an evangelistic service in the town square. The square is right in the middle of the Historical center. The highlights of the historical center are the clock, built in 1908, and the Catholic Church, built in 1548. Just a short distance away is the county courthouse and the gazebo where two alleged kidnappers were beaten, lynched, and killed in 1998.

We are blessed because just a few years ago preaching openly downtown would have been prohibited.

Actually two relevant events occurred today. First Baptist Church in Huejutla broadcast our Sunday morning service over the radio. This radio message is the first of it's kind in our region and reaches thousands of people. Many people have been saved and joined the ministry of First Baptist because of the radio program. Second, we held an open air evangelistic service. The weather was bad and we had to interrupt the service for about 20 minutes because of torrential rain. No one left. After the rain I preached about the Sacrificial Blood of Jesus and many moved. We can praise the Lord for the open doors he has places before us. May we continue to have the courage to walk through each door God opens.
