Good Friday in Negritas

Our new church in Negritas, Mexico decided to have a Good Friday Outreach of their own. During their 10 Days of Prayer God led them to invite everyone town to eat elotes with them. Elotes (corn on the cob) is a special treat and much less expensive then a full meal. After eating they had a piƱata for the children and then showed The Passion of the Christ on a big screen.

Four families came and everyone said they had a good time. God is blessing their efforts as a few people have come and privately asked Lupe and Leti if they would come and read the Bible with them in their homes. These are tremendous results as people in the small rural towns of Mexico are generally speaking very hard to reach. They are steeped in tradition and peer pressure is high to conform. Pray for this small group of believers who are courageously trying to shine Jesus' light and love to their home town.
