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.

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.

New Life and New Beginnings Children’s Homes
Several of the children had birthdays in November, and we
were invited to celebrate with some of them. Sarah’s cakes and other desserts
are always a hit!

Celebrating Luna's and Ivan's birthdays |
We had two Thanksgivings this year, one with some church
friends, and one with the children’s homes. At the children’s home Thanksgiving
celebration, I shared a devotional from Psalm 50 on thankfulness. God says in
verse 23, “The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me.” One
way that we honor God is by being thankful for who He is and all He has done
for us.

Huilango and San Miguel Tecuanipa
In addition to my regular discipleship with Pastor Azael and
his family, I had the opportunity to travel with him to a remote mountain town
called San Miguel Tecuanipa. There we visited a couple who has been going to
his church, and we shared a Bible study and fellowship around food. I also
started a study on the pastoral epistles with Pastor Azael to help encourage
and direct him in his pastoral ministry.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support as we
continue to serve the Lord here in Puebla, Mexico. We couldn’t do it without
you!
With love in Christ,
Chris, Sarah, Mikey, and Sammy
