Summer 2021 Ministry Update

TRIP TO THE STATES

We are so thankful that God provided the opportunity to travel to the States this summer. It was a joy to see so many of our family and friends and to report to our supporting churches. We hope we will have the chance to meet with even more of you the next time we are there. It is so encouraging to have so many churches and individuals partnering with us in the work God has given us to do here in Puebla. We know that many of you pray for us often, and we are very thankful for you.



MOVING FORWARD

We arrived back in Mexico just in time for me to participate in the wedding of one of my seminary students, Adolfo Gonzalez. It is encouraging to see God raising up ministry-minded families to serve Him here!



Over the next few weeks, we look forward to jumping back into our various ministries with our church, Puebla Bible Seminary, the children’s homes, and discipleship in Huilango. I continue to have many opportunities to preach, teach, share devotionals, and disciple believers through these ministries.

PUEBLA BIBLE SEMINARY

Classes are starting in just a few days! The students are anxious to have in-person classes again, and we are praying for a good and safe semester together. This fall I’m teaching Greek 3 (Introduction to Exegesis) and Pentateuch and Historical Books. I’m also looking forward to continuing working individually with some students to disciple them and encourage them in life and ministry. Please pray for good opportunities to pour into the lives of these students who are preparing for ministry across Mexico.



THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for your prayers and support that make our ministry here possible!

Your fellow servants,

Chris, Sarah, Mikey, and Sammy 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...

December 2021 Newsletter

 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...
