I spent almost five days last week with Rev. Isaac Garcia, his wife Yolanda, and Lay-pastor Job Jimenez. I was really impressed with their enthusiasm for the ministry. We attended a workshop together at Our Redeemer in Irving, TX.
They hope to provide similar workshops in Mexico next May or June. Dwelling 1:14 will be hosting these three workshops possibly in Mexico City, Matamoros, and San Luis Rio Colorado.
There was also a request for a book that would contain selected liturgies as well as essential resources for ministry in illness and bereavement, as well as materials for use in various special circumstances. I have a book called "Pastoral Care Companion" that would be perfect if it was in Spanish. CPH said they were working on it and it would be available sometime next year. Augsburg Fortress has one that is called "Ritos Ocasionales." The price for it is $25.00. The men in Mexico would like about 14 copies of this for all the pastors, lay-pastors, and men who help to conduct services in the missions. So if anyone out there wants to participate in this endeavor, please, send a contribution and earmark it for these books.
Keep these workers in the Kingdom in your prayers. They are working on the same type of problems as we are only very often they do not have the resources that are needed.
Here is his report with photos in pdf format.
Blessings to you and your ministries,
