October News!

It’s a Boy!

We are excited to announce that baby Collins is a BOY! We are so thankful for his life and God’s protection over him and Sarah during these past months.

Orphan Care Opportunities


In August we had another opportunity to visit Niños de México. On this trip Chris shared a devotional with the girls on the life of Joseph, and Sarah taught the girls how to make chocolate chip cookies!



We’ve also had opportunities to visit the DIF, the government orphanage here in Puebla. The kids here are in such great need, but we are so thankful for the power of the gospel to change their lives.

Greek Exegesis Class

Greek class is going well. The students are working hard and learning a lot!

Mentoring at the Seminary

We have had great opportunities to develop relationships with Seminary students through the mentoring program, sharing meals at the Seminary, having them over to our house, and even playing soccer with them.

Orientation

As part of our orientation, in September we traveled a few hours north to spend several days with another Camino Global missionary family. They live in a small town where they run a coffee shop and community center where they teach English and guitar classes and have Bible studies. Their main focus is church planting and the church meets on their property. They celebrated their 9th anniversary service while we were there.

Serving with Mission Teams

We had the opportunity in August to serve alongside some teams who came to visit other Camino missionaries. We helped with work projects in a nearby village constructing a house and a church building.

Pray for Us!

Pray for continued health for Sarah and baby.
Pray for opportunities to share Christ with neighbors.
Pray for continued opportunities to serve in orphan care.

Thank you!
Your fellow servants,

Chris and Sarah Collins

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...

Collins Family Update: March 2022

Changing Ministry Location Many of you already know that we are planning to move back to the States in the near future. We have shared with many of you the reasons for this change, but if anyone has questions or concerns about this decision, please feel free to reach out to us. We are planning to arrive back in the States in mid-April, and we hope to see many of you then. We are currently pursuing an opportunity to serve in pastoral ministry in the northern Michigan area, and we are waiting for an answer from the church. While we patiently wait for God’s leading in our ministry change, we are continuing to serve in our ministries in Mexico, and we will continue serving via online ministry once we are back in the States. We expect to need missions support at least through the end of May, and perhaps longer depending on how God leads us in the next two months. We will do our best to keep in touch with our supporters as we learn how God is leading our family and ministry. We would ask ...
