Thank You!!

As this month of Thanksgiving draws to a close, we want to express our thankfulness to God and to you for your partnership in ministry.

Thank you for your encouragement!
Many of you have encouraged us with kind and helpful words and deeds during the last several months as we’ve been raising support for our mission work in Mexico. Thank you!

Thank you for your prayers!
Many of you have prayed for us faithfully as we’ve traveled, shared our ministry, and prepared for ministry in Mexico. We know that mission work is spiritual warfare, and we desperately need your prayers on our behalf. Thank you!

Thank you for your giving!
Many of you have partnered with us financially and we are very thankful for your help. We could not serve without you. Thank you!

We deeply appreciate you and the part God has given you in our ministry and in our hearts. Thank you for working together with us for the advance of the gospel in Mexico.

Our desire is to depart for Mexico early next year, as soon as we are at full support. Please pray with us for the remaining $1600 in monthly support that we need to come in quickly, and that we would continue to be patient and trust God in the meantime, as He continues to prepare us for service in Mexico. Thank you!

Your fellow servants,


Chris and Sarah Collins

First Month in Mexico

When we arrived in Mexico in late April, we hit the ground running. Two days after arriving, God led us to our house. The house is only an 8-minute walk to Puebla Bible Seminary, and very close to some other missionary families. Our second weekend here was our missionary team’s annual retreat, and we spent the weekend at Veracruz. We enjoyed getting to know our teammates some during that time, and we had the opportunity to share our story and how God brought us to Mexico. It was a sweet time of fellowship. Over the last month we have visited 4 churches in Puebla. We are still looking for the place where God would have us join and minister, and we’re praying for God to direct us in this decision. Already during our time here, God has begun to provide some friendships for us. We’ve enjoyed getting to know some of the other missionaries here in Puebla, as well as some Mexican believers. Some other things that have happened: We got a car and license plates and beg...

Getting Settled in Puebla

Exciting News! The Lord has added a new member to our family! We are expecting the arrival of baby Collins in early 2019. Please pray with us for health for Sarah and the baby during the pregnancy. Please pray also for God’s provision for the physical and financial needs we will have as we anticipate the birth of our child. We are very thankful for this precious gift from God! Preparing for Greek Exegesis Chris has been spending a lot of time the last few weeks studying Greek and preparing for his Greek Exegesis class this fall at Puebla Bible Seminary. One of the assignments for the students is to translate John chapters 1-4, so he has been working on translating that passage. In addition, there are multiple textbooks to read through (in Spanish!), so there is still a lot of preparation to do . Spanish Tutoring One of the main things we’ve been working on the last few weeks is improving our Spanish. Though we are both fluent, there is still much more for us to le...

Spring 2021 Ministry Update

Children’s homes Boys’ home With the boys’ home, we´ve had opportunities to share devotionals, play soccer with them at the seminary, and make pizzas together. One of the older boys, Emilio, celebrated his birthday earlier this month, and we were invited to join them for a birthday party!   Girls’ home At the girls’ home we’ve continued visiting every Friday night. I share a devotional with the girls about the attributes of God, and Sarah teaches them how to make desserts and other foods. A couple of the girls also had birthday parties recently, and we were invited to celebrate with them! One of the girls, Laura, asked Sarah to do a regular personal Bible study with her, and Sarah has invited her to come over to our home for lunch and a Bible study on Thursdays. She has been very receptive and asks really good questions. Several new girls arrived a couple months ago from another children’s home in Mexico, so there are now 14 girls. We are thankful for the opportuni...
