Support Raising Update

By God’s grace, we are very close to having all of our needed monthly committed support! We are so excited to see God’s provision and are looking forward to being at full support very soon. We are so close!

Presenting our ministry at Graham Church

During the recent holiday season God blessed us with quality time with much of our extended family. We really enjoyed making memories with our families as we prepare to begin serving overseas.

God has also recently given us 3 opportunities to share our ministry with churches in Michigan, as well as dozens of opportunities to share with individuals and families. We are thankful for so many who have already joined our support team and helped us reach this point!

Next Steps

Full support- Camino Global requires us to be 100% fully supported before we can be released to the field. We are very close to our goal!

Visa process- while we continue raising support, we are working on obtaining visas. We will apply at the Mexican consulate in Detroit.

Commissioning services- we will have a commissioning service at Bible Baptist Church in Traverse City, MI on April 8^th and at Suber Road Baptist in Greer, SC on April 15^th.

Plane tickets and Packing- once we have full support and our visas, we can buy our one-way tickets, pack, say our goodbyes, and leave for Mexico!

Mexico, Here We Come!

Tomorrow morning, while you will probably still be sleeping, we will begin our journey to Mexico. Our first flight is scheduled just before 5:30 AM, and we will be traveling all day with two connecting flights before we get to Puebla, Mexico tomorrow evening. We found out today that the airline we are flying with (Delta) had a major glitch in their system a couple days ago with hundreds of flights canceled, and so we are hoping and praying that our flights will not be canceled or delayed tomorrow. Please pray with us for safe and timely travel and connections tomorrow, and for patience and wisdom should we have to deal with canceled or delayed flights. Please pray for our different opportunities while we are in Mexico. We will have opportunities to meet many missionaries and other contacts in the Puebla area. We will have opportunities to see a variety of ministries and places we can serve in the future. We will have opportunities to share the gospel as I (Chris) speak at an orphanage...

Puebla Bible Seminary The semester is over and most of the students are back with their families and serving with their home churches over Christmas break. This semester I had 29 students between the three courses I taught, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to teach them the Scriptures and the biblical languages. Group photo of this year's seminary students At the end of the semester, we had a time of food and fellowship with each class, and it was meaningful to hear all that the students had learned throughout the semester and how they’ve grown in their relationship with God and knowledge of His Word. We ended the semester with a fellowship of all the students and staff around a campfire, with games, singing, testimonies, and carne asada. I especially enjoyed hearing the testimonies of the students and what God has done in their lives.

Collins Family Update Fall 2022

Always the Same One of my favorite attributes of God is his immutability—that he never changes. It is a great comfort to know that though our life circumstances change, and we ourselves change, yet God remains the same as he has been and will be for all eternity. Our new place of ministry and kind of ministry may seem less glamorous or exciting in some ways, but it is the same God that are continuing to serve, and he is the same God who continues to work in and through us for the glory of his name and the good of his people. He is the constant throughout all the changes. He is always the same. New Ministry Opportunity By God’s grace I (Chris) was called by a unanimous vote of the members of Antioch Bible Church of Mesick, MI to be their pastor on July 3, 2022. I am humbled and honored by the privilege of serving God in this new ministry. To be entrusted with the pastoral care of the souls of others is a weighty responsibility, and God has used this to draw me deeper into communion wi...
