We call it soccer. … They call it football. Yet, the teamwork in achieving a common goal is the same. So it is with those who seek to be a part of the team dedicated to reaching Puebla and the surrounding areas with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Have you ever thought about being a part of this team … of going on a volunteer mission trip? Perhaps you don’t know what you could do … or perhaps you are uncomfortable in stepping out into a different culture and a different language. Working as a team can overcome many of your concerns. (need more intro) You will be working with local believers who know the customs and traditions of the people. Spanish accent speaker … Once here you will find that there is much to do as you work with us, … the pastors and members of the various small evangelical churches in the area. Often times you will be able to encourage us as you join in our worship service and share through testimonies, singing, and preaching. Each volunteer group is partnered with a sister church, mission, or Bible study group for ministry. You will get to know us and, hopefully, come to love us as brothers and sisters in Christ. The city of Puebla and the neighboring city of Chalula is predominantly Catholic but few have read the Bible. “Operation Go” is a gospel saturation ministry to distribute gospel packets of the book of John throughout the city. This gives the people here in this city an opportunity to know more about the person of Jesus Christ. Another focus of volunteer ministry is working with local children through Vacation Bible Schools. For several hours in the afternoons, you will be able to touch the lives of children with the love of Jesus. English as a Second Language classes are always popular. Teaching or assisting in an ESL class is an excellent method of reaching people with the message of Jesus. Training is always key in the formation of new works. Several times a year volunteers come to provide leadership training for our Mexican brothers and sisters. Conferences on discipleship, family, marriage, church planting, teaching, and counseling are all helpful for the ministry in Puebla. We need you to help us reach the millions in spiritual darkness. American speaker … As a soccer team must be willing to play on the turf of the opposing team, so it is with volunteers. You must be willing to move from where you are to where the need is. Are you ready to play a key role in reaching the city of Puebla with the Good News of Jesus Christ? Will you share the truth of God’s Word with those who desperately need to hear? Are you willing to move out on mission in Puebla? Jesus said, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” Acts 1:8
