In recent months , we have witnessed the reality of the verse that has guided our mission : “ During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him , ‘ Come over to Macedonia and help us ’” ( Acts 16:9 NIV ).
The reality of the political and social situations , aggravated by the pandemic , has presented significant challenges . However , OMS ’ positive response to Mexico has been crucial in overcoming these obstacles . The community has cried
out for help , and the collaboration has strengthened the purpose of starting new churches . We are excited for the future and the continued growth of this initiative that seeks to reach the multitudes while touching individual lives .
Glory to God for the army that he is raising . Glory to God for the shepherds who have not let their guard down despite the circumstances . And glory to God for the churches that continue to fight amid unfavorable social conditions . The Gospel continues to spread slowly but deeply . Above all , I remain grateful to God because I am sure that soon we will see the eight Mexican states of the “ Circle of Transformation ” moving toward the principles of the Word of God .
