Ministry Update: The Beautiful People of Queretaro, Mexico are Receiving God’s Word ….
Boots on the Ground in Mexico
“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalms 68:11
“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
Here’s a quick clip of me preaching the Word to 2 catholic nuns this morning, informing them in Spanish that Jesus Christ is the only way to God, not Mary, or the pope, but Jesus!
Below is a picture of Omar. He joyfully received the Word of our God when Jesus was preached to him, learning that the precious blood can wash away all his sins. With a huge smile he responded with “Really!”
This picture was taken this week with beloved Omar. As I was conversing with an older gentleman, employee of a large store, this man Omar turned the corner and the words of God, with huge joy and smile began to flow to Omar, in Spanish, concerning how Jesus did not come to start a religion but to give Him the blessing of a relationship and that Christ wants to wash away all his sins in His precious blood. Then a testimony of how Jesus had done just that for me followed – and that Jesus wanted to do the same for Omar. Omar was elated, overjoyed. His reaction was as if to say “THIS is the best news I’ve ever heard!” And it sure is! The older gentlemen then lit up and told me he is a Christian and told me what fellowship he was a part of. The older man heard it all, he was right there, and so I asked him twice to lead Omar to Jesus and minister more to him.
“And there was great joy in that city.” Acts 8:8

As we testify to His saving goodness and Gospel, the body of Christ is sparking heavenly joy for the salvation of our LORD Jesus. – “Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” (Acts 2:47)
This but one occurance. This kind of heavenly ministry has been transpiring daily for over a week now and we look forward to getting the JESUS tract printed here in Mexico in order to give one to everyone we come into contact with and to give hundreds or thousands to other believers to distribute here. (see the Spanish JESUS tract below) There is simply no defining just how open these people are. In nearly each and every case, after I speaking God’s Word to them in Spanish, they smile and nearly want to hug me. If I chose to stand there and speak the Word to them in Spanish for an hour, they just smile and listen the whole time! Regrettably, I am currently unable to speak for more than a moment or two in Spanish but the learning curve is on!!!!
$540 USD to have 5,000 of these tracts (above) printed at local printer. Give Here.
Responses from You on this Relocation
“I enjoyed hearing from you there in Mexico. I loved the update and pictures. It is a blessing you are there and God will use you very much. I will email you to communicate. Thank you for praying for my family and I. Have a blessed day and weekend.” Dana
“Unbelievable! I never would have imagined there was such a place this side of heaven! It must be freeing to be out of this country’s moral decay. As we have become Sodom and Gomorrah. And next month it will be worse as it is pride monthnd, and many churches also celebrate it! Pray for us still here. We have to not let our country’s moral decay affect us and our walk with Christ. Narrow is the way (Matt. 7:13-14). Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us! Inspiring!” Karen
“God is restoring the years the locusts have eaten! Wow no blue haired women or freaks.. Most women here are filled with ear rings, tatts and blue hair. We the American people here are being poisoned, lied to, and killed off. What a blessing is Mexico! Prayers for you brother and that safeguard grows and wins souls for the kingdom!” DB
“Great update! It’s wonderful to hear about life in your new surroundings. Especially about the fresh impact of the Gospel of Christ you are bringing to that area. I feel it and share your excitement for this opportunity to shine the light of Jesus every day among people you love — the people of Queretaro! Praying for every single ministry need to be met and more, so SGYS can grow as the Lord desires and directs, and always for provision for you to be well taken care of. Aaaaaand Colossians 4:12” Debbie

My initial observations in Mexico
There is no sign of Jesus here. Wide open mission field. Been preaching Jesus daily. 100% acceptation.
There is 100% openness to His Word. Many of the people can’t thank you enough for speaking God’s Word to them.
Walking down the street early in the morning a few days ago, I came upon an older gypsy woman who was homeless. This precious lady was waking up from sleeping on the street all night, as if it were just a normal day. She was not sad at all, and seemed content. I was overcome with tears.
In the name of Jesus, may God bless us to help people like this. As in bringing them a hot meal, fresh water, and the love and Gospel of Jesus.
There aren’t that many homeless people around here. It seems less than America’s cities actually.
In the coming days, LORD willing, I can perhaps capture a few things in pictures and video.
Falling in love with this city.
Was already in love with the people before arriving, from past experience and also, since the moment I crossed the border.
The people in Central and South America are the native American, indigenous Indian people. The Spanish merely colonized and brought their language. Ancient, cohesive people and in this case that’s good because of the family and kindness characteristics.
Very few of these people are Christians. So far I’ve met 2 or 3.
Yet they CARE about everyone else and respond amazingly to the Word of God.
They stop everything to help, when asked and even offer to assist before being asked when there’s a translation opportunity.
When they help you, there’s no rush. It doesn’t matter how long it takes.
Exemplary. Delightful.
In Mexico, no one pumps their own gas. There are several attendants at all gas stations. These men and women who work at the gas stations are actually losing money by stopping to help you. They don’t care about that. They care about you, even though they’d never met you before.
They worked together to help me, over and over on the way here. Due to google maps not being available because my phone was down.
These people know how to live. It’s ALL about family. So many young couples with children (Psalms 127).
Any country, area of the world, is all about the people, first and foremost.
It seems that …. perhaps, as some of you have pointed out in your input concerning this relocation (below and on the podcast), it becomes apparent that the self-intoxication and spiritual fornication with excessive riches, ease, and prosperity in America has insulated most from being able to be reached….Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22). The arrogant hearts says “I have all I need, I don’t need God” (Proverbs 30:8-9).
It is said that Queretaro, Mexico is ripe for investing since the city is safe, desired, year-round mild climate, and historic 16th century colonial architecture from the Spanish. Think about the opportunity you and I have before us right now…. laying the foundation for many to be saved into the eternal family of our LORD and King, Jesus Christ.
Once the JESUS tract in Spanish is in print, the people will be receiving a clear Gospel message with the opportunity for them to pray in repentance and faith at the end.
The local printer just quoted printing 5,000 of the JESUS tract in Spanish. $540 USD – you are invited to contribute here.
Have been asked about being able to speak some Spanish… Have been learning and speaking a bit of it for many years. Able to preach a bit in Spanish and have been for over a week now to nearly everyone. They were overjoyed that I was learning their treasured language and hopefully, also glad to receive the Word of our God.
Several times a day people assertively smile and greet me, saying hello and shaking my hand.

Jesus will Judge Us by Our Works
By Glenn and Dezi Langohr
JESUS — JUDGED BY WORKS
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father… Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied…? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21–23
Our works clearly reveal what is in our hearts! Fruit.
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” Matthew 16:27
“…all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” John 5:28–29
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: *the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” John 12:48
PAUL — CONTINUE IN GOOD WORKS
“Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.” Romans 2:6–7
“For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Romans 2:13
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
“…they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.” Titus 3:8
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10
“…for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing…” Galatians 6:7–9
JAMES — FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:17
“Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” James 2:24
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26
PETER — BE HOLY, DO GOOD WORKS
“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.” 1 Peter 1:17
“Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” 1 Peter 2:12
“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10
SUMMARY
Jesus said He will judge every man by their works (Matthew 16:27, John 5:29).
Paul taught that eternal life is for those who continue in well doing (Romans 2:7, Titus 3:8).
James declared faith without works is dead (James 2:17, 24).
Peter warned God will judge every man’s work (1 Peter 1:17) and exhorted us to abound in good works.
God’s people are called to endure to the end with living faith proven by works of obedience, love, and holiness.

To Walk in Love is of the Highest Priority to the LORD [podcast]
If we die without His love we will not be with Him above.
Jesus loved us and all His enemies, even under to death – for our, for the redemption of the world.
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth (displayed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8
Our promised we, His people, will be persecuted as He was (John 7:7; 15:20, etc.).
“The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. ” John 7:7
“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” John 15:20
God commands that we walk in His love toward all men, including those who hate and persecute us.
“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and
hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice
to God for a sweetsmelling savour.” Ephesians 5:2
To “walk in love” is of the highest priority to the LORD. Study
this important topic, asking God to fill you with His love and
all the corresponding fruit thereof (Galatians 5:22-23). How
can those who claim to know He who “is love” not walk in
His love? (See 1 John 4:8, 16.)
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, and have not charity, I am become as
sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I
have the gift of prophecy, and understand all
mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all
faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have
not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all
my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my
body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth
me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but
rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8
Charity never faileth.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
“Walking in God’s love requires the cross life. This takes dying to your flesh (Gal 2:20). Because our wicked flesh wants revenge. And will rise up in anger. Believing their attacks are personally against us. But when you are walking in the Spirit of God, Jesus will fill you with love for them. By loving them instead of looking for revenge we are showing them the character of Christ. We don’t need to retaliate. Because we see it is the Jesus in you they are attacking. And we are to rejoice in that! Matthew 5:12. I am beginning to see this manifest in my life. I don’t take their attacks personally anymore. Hallelujah. That can be debilitating in your walk with Jesus. And just keep you in anger! But through the cross you have victory and see them through the eyes of Jesus! And most importantly bless and pray for them!” Karen Cochran
Prayer: Father, You are love. Please fill my heart and life with Your love—to pour on others. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Subverted Hereticks [podcast]
Biblical definition of a “heretick”
Biblically speaking, the word heretic comes from the Greek hairetikon, meaning “divisive” (Titus 3:10). A heretic is one who purposes to create disunity, fragmenting the body of Christ – this would include pushing non-essentials and things that are not according to the doctrines of Holy Scripture.
Any man who causes unnecessary division or strife, in the body of Christ by originating and perpetuating unprofitable arguments based on non-essentials and/or false doctrine, is an “heretick” and should be dealt with accordingly.
In verse 8 of Titus 3, the apostle is instructing Titus concerning the things that are “profitable.”
“These things are good and profitable unto men.”
See verses 1-8 of Titus 3 to see what the LORD says are “profitable unto men.”
Now he is going to address those who insist are causing division among the members of Christ’s body based on this that “are unprofitable and vain.” (v9)
The word “heretick” appears 1 time in God’s Word. Here’s the text in which it appears:
“But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.” Titus 3:9-11
As we can witness in the above passage, by definition, in Scripture, a “heretick” is one who causes strife and divisions by the use of “foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law” which Paul says here are “unprofitable.”
Those who cause divisions by believing and teaching things that are not according to God’s Word, are to be marked and avoided.
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18
“divisions”
dichostasia
dee-khos-tas-ee’-ah
disunion, that is, (figuratively) dissension: – division, sedition.
“That there should be no schism (division, rent) in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.” 1 Corinthians 12:25
“schism”
schisma
skhis’-mah
a split or gap (“schism”), literally or figuratively: – division, rent, schism.
Living in God’s Peace
Have you found also that at times, living at peace with someone, means living at a distance from them?
“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Romans 12:18
It’s also important to create distance between yourself and any person who is drawing you away from the leading of the LORD, the calling, the thrust of ministry. This is the work of the evil – using “foolish questions,” nit picking, doubt casting, “and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.” (Titus 3:9-11)
Because of the chosen evil nature of some, whom I believe we can call “swine” and “dogs,” there will be no peace and so the choice must be made to cut them off. For myself, I’ve had to cut off – block – block certain people in order to remain in peace, to stay away from strife “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” (James 3:16) Jesus commands:
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Matthew 7:6
Dogs, swine are not to be allowed to be within range of stabbing us, rending us which means to tear or stab.
Based on the instructions of Holy Scripture, personally, I am quick triggered with people who refuse to hear truth after it’s communicated to them. Read Titus 3:10-11 and Matthew 7:6 and consider being obedient to these divine commands which are written to you.
“But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.” Titus 3:9-11
Here’s why you must study God’s Word – the whole of it – for yourself:
Perhaps the most insidious, dangerous thing false teachers do is that they over emphasize the minors while evading or under emphasizing or never mentioning the majors – the doctrinal majors of God’s Word.
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.” Matthew 23:23-25

Since I have yet to listen to your podcast, curious: Are you going to live there permanently? Glad for you! Yet somehow (in a strange way) feels as though you deserted us! 🙂
No hard feelings of course.
Wishing you only the best!
And may God grant that you will be free from harm! Psalm 91

Thank you. God is able! He leads each of His sheep, right? John 10
