When you hand someone the JESUS tract, in most cases here in Mexico, they open it immediately and begin to read it intently. Such was the case today with this dear man who received the ministry of the spoken Word in Spanish and a Spanish Jesus tract.
“This world is passing away. Let us be about the Father’s business as our Lord Jesus Christ and the Apostles showed us the way!” Jon Crane
Present Needs for the Ministry
A few of the present specific needs:
$40 to have JESUS tract in English reformatted (made ready to print, looking exactly like the Spanish version)
$350 to print JESUS tracts for the PA group with Tom and Karen Cochran etc.
$450 to print the JESUS tract in English and Spanish for the FL group with sister Teresita Guadalupe.
$120.00 currently needed to pay the audio engineer who is editing the ministry’s podcasts.
Etc.
“… remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35
We can’t possibly feed the whole world but we can be the whole world of blessings to a few who are in need and whom we are privileged to serve as unto the LORD – to show them tangibly His love for them!
Below is a picture of a type of cove where several homeless people were encamped. As I walked by and saw this, I was quickened to get them some food and so went to a nearby hamburguesa (hamburger) cafe and ordered them some food. The lady who owned the place and I had a good and lengthy conversation. This is not a good picture: It simply captures a small portion of the homeless people who were spread out in this area, keeping warm and dry. Your giving made and makes this possible.
A market in Mexico
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:40
Alvarado received chicken tacos for lunch at the market.
Lotsss of JESUS tracts passed out in this market on several visits there recently and WORD of our God spoken in Spanish to the people.
Most of them stop and open and start reading the tract immediately
Alvarado did so also. By the time I got him some warm fresh food for lunch he was finishing the tract….. I took a pic from behind him while he was reading the back of the tract. When I first gave it to him is began reading is immediately as I told him I was going to get him some food and would be back in a few minutes. God is good. Oh and precious Alvarado received a few dollars cash too – all because of your generosity.
The following email is from a man who received extensive in person ministry this week in Mexico and also was given a JESUS tract in Spanish:
“Hello Todd, First of all, it was a pleasure to meet such a devoted person to God. Secondly, let me tell you that after my accident back in California I was telling you, I got my dream girl and job, my relationship with my familiy and friends has never been so great. I am glad this new stage of my life, permitted to have met people such as you and will love to have like a offee or something to talk and talk about god and your work. Let’s keep in touch, Regards!” Daniel
Our best investment is in Christ’s kingdom work. All else is fleeting, passing away, phantom, not eternal.
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
“Durable Riches”
“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. 18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, DURABLE (eternal, lasting) RICHES and righteousness.” Proverbs 8:17-18
This is Julio pictured below. We had a lengthy, detailed, total engaging conversation about Christ, about knowing Him in a relationship, not religion. Julio is hungry. He was total aware of and onto the “many false prophets” who are making merchandise of the willingly gullible (Matthew 24:11; 2 Peter 2:1-3). He was given a Jesus tract in Spanish and I was able to inform him that there’s a prayer at the end of the tract that he can pray in repentance and faith and receive Christ! Truly a divine session where our LORD ordained that this man receive a panaramic view of Christ’s kingdom.
JESUS tracts in Spanish going forth daily!
Jesus is coming saints!
God is glorified when we feed the poor – poor in spirit and poor in stomach!
Matthew 5:3,6
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17
“Someone is praying for you today. Someone peculiar, whose joy comes from sharing our Lord, and praying for those who are also sharing with us. Helping us all grow in wisdom and preparedness to be ready to meet our Lord, and beckoning others to join us also, to seek the Lord and become one of His family also. So I thought I’d send this little token of my appreciation, knowing the thanks are small here on earth, until that last gentile has come in…and it will be SHOUTIN’ TIME IN HEAVEN. We can say, “I have fought the good fight, and I have finished my course…but until then, my heart will go on singing, until then, with JOY we’ll carry on, until the day, when we behold that city…until the day, God calls us home! May God bless you richly this day, and uphold your ministry, and give you peace and joy. –just one of those peculiar people sharing with a peculiar brother in the Lord.”
God’s Word is getting to the people saints…. THAT’s what “WE”, God’s people are doing – “TOGETHER.” (1 Cor 3:9)
In the last 30 days, over 43,000 downloads on the podcast…. Over 360K total. AGAIN, the ONLY reason this matters is that the WORD of our God is being preached and taught on each and every podcast. Jesus is KING. Aound the clock now, people from all over HIS planet are listening to His Word via the ministry podcast…. and other ministries with Bible teaching podcasts. Let’s roll saints. Jesus is coming.
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
Thank you for praying for fruitfulness to our LORD’s glory, and supply.
I walk around in the downtown Central area often and encounter homeless people often. “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17 How many meals would you like to provide? Monthly or weekly. Been handing the Jesus tracts in Spanish out all week and speaking our LORD’s Word in Spanish. God is moving on the hearts of the people of Mexico. More on Ministry in Mexico here. | Support Ricardo was very eager to hear the Word of God, the ministering of Jesus Christ…. […]
The Street People of Mexico 4th Update [podcast]
Feeding the Homeless, the Hungry [podcast] The Following is but a Sampling of the precious people of Mexico being ministered to by the kind gifts of the members of Christ’s body. “I love it and Im in brother!!

MEXICO Mission 3rd Update from Queretaro
If this child’s face melts your heart…. you are not alone! This precious little boy (pictured) was going around seeking food for his family and he was given some (he’s holding it in pic). Was able to help and minister the Word of our God into his ears and heart in Spanish. He was going about to several tables, people… Twas hoping he’d come to me. As you can see, this child was beyond precious! He smiled large when the the name of Jesus and Word of our God was was flowing into his little ears. Don’t we know that our […]
“And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Colossians 4:17
MINISTRY which pleases God is simply helping people know and grow in Christ for themselves – by the cross life and getting into HIS Word for themselves so they can follow HIM, not you! True ministry fosters in the hearers faith in God, not the preacher or local church organization! Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5.
Your communications and ministry are fed and fueled by your personal daily study and knowledge of God’s Word (Proverbs 22:17-21; 2 Timothy 2:15).
Ephesians 4:1-14
“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” Ephesians 4:1-14
“Reformed Theology“, is just a fancy way of saying ‘We know better than Paul, the old testament prophets, even David! And the very apostles who walked with Jesus must be unlearned men or liars.’ Nay, I will not say such a thing of my LORD and Saviour, Christ Jesus. Let God be true, and >every< man a liar.” Jonathan Crane It’s “ungodly men” who mislead the gullible with the eternal security heresy, and the heretical doctrines and system of calvinism. Jude warned us of just that, as did the prophets (Jude 3-4; Jeremiah 23:17, etc.). Then Jude reminds us of […]
Out of the Mouth of Babes - "What is Love?" Hilarious. Revealing. [podcast]
What these precious children say will have you laughing and perhaps crying. Our LORD Jesus, the greatest Servant says: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 This “greater love” of our Creator, Jesus Christ, was busy blessing each of us in our mother’s womb. Reading 1 Corinthians 13 today will refresh your heart and mind on the divine importance placed upon LOVE. Share. Recently it occurred to me…. That the younger the child, the less corrupted they are by this world and the closer they are to […]
The LORD’s Vision to His Servant Isaiah and how it Relates to each of Us When the LORD revealed Himself more fully to the man Isaiah, the response of Isaiah is something we should behold and be taught by, learn from. “Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which […]
God Himself personally sends a “strong delusion” to all who do not love His truth so that they WILL believe lies. He greases their pole to hell. That’s how personally He takes it when people call Him a liar by not believing His Word.
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8
Notice “of God” and “NOT of God”
“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
How do We Know Who is "of God" and Who is "Not of God"? [podcast]
Scripture vs Subjectivity/Human Reasoning “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8 There are many people pretending to be representing Christ. Many pretend to speak for God but how do we know who is truly “of God” and who is “not of God”? Jesus gave us the answer to this important question because He desires His people to be protected by proper discernment. He has warned us repeatedly to “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but […]
Return and Discern [podcast]
THE LORD IS DOING A WORK TODAY IN THE HEARTS OF HIS PEOPLE – BLESSING US TO BE POOR IN SPIRIT, HUNGERING FOR MORE OF HIM, AND PURE IN HEART (Matthew 5:3, 6, 8 ). It’s all in spite of our own failings and sin and because of His great mercies which are renewed every morning – GREAT is His faithfulness (Lamentation 3:22-23). Discernment is only granted by God when we truly repent which means we lay down our lives in this fleeting world and follow Jesus for real (2 Corinthians 3:16-18). WHEN we earnestly seek the face of the […]
The Essential Doctrine of Repentance
The Biblical Statement on the Essential Doctrine and Necessity of Repentance – in Life and in the Dispensing of the Original Gospel Message. Though nearly never heard in today’s apostate modern church world, according to Christ’s unchanging original Gospel, repentance is an absolute necessity. Karen Cochran observes: “It doesn’t seem the word repent is part of the Christian’s vocabulary! In the modern church, it’s all about God accepting you the way you are without any requirements to repent and die to self.” Note that in modern churches, “Christian” radio, media, books, the word “repent” is rarely if ever heard. Yet […]
THIS MORNING: Brother Mark brought brother Juan to meet our new brother Jose Patron!
Jose was given a stack of JESUS tracts after he said he wanted to evangelize.
Brother Juan passes by where Jose works for work daily and so that connection and fellowship is being put in place.
“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9) – and what God has us doing is supporting His beloved “labourers” who are “few”! (Matthew 9:35-38)
A FEW DAYS AGO: Sister Maria called for more JESUS tracts. She ran out as she is distributing hundreds per day. So our dear sister, thanks to you who are praying and supply…. was given a new jacket to keep her warm (pictured), food and drink to bring home for her living quarters, a fresh supply of JESUS tracts, some cash (Mexican pesos), and some Scripture that she as usual read out loud and devoured as I brought them up on my cell phone from the Spanish Bible (Reina Valera). God is good saints. May He be glorified in all you are doing to see the beloved people of Mexico reached with His bless-ed Gospel! You are refreshing His beloved saints.
LORD willing, I will be meeting again with our dear brother Juan this week to refresh him in fellowship etc.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27
Mexico: The Land where the Gospel of Jesus is Freely Received
“Freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8
As we truly follow Jesus He makes us fishers of men.
“And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” Mark 1:17
This was the sweetest couple ever as you can tell by the picture. They were overjoyed to receive the preaching of our LORD’s Gospel and were told how to be saved – repentance and faith in Christ, and showed the prayer on the back, etc. They were directed to the prayer on the back and exhorted to pray in repentance and faith and receive eternal life. When asked they said they’d welcome your prayers for them.
On the streets today in Mexico ministering our LORD Jesus’ Gospel to many. As usual the name of Jesus was preached in Christ’s love and it was readily, eagerly received by most who thanked us for giving them the Gospel. SMH. It’s no even fair!
A man name Jose was ministered to, received the Word, and prayed in repentance and faith to be saved! Would you like to lift our new brother in Christ in prayer? Jose Patron is his name and we are connected and he’s already been given more Scripture and added to the Spanish WA group.
Jose just sent me a voice recording saying Thank you to Mark and I for ministering Jesus’ Gospel to him and that he wants to do the same thing we are doing, minister to others our LORD’s Gospel.
“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20
“The food looks healthy. Just this morning I was thinking that it is unfathomable, in my mind, to comprehend what the Lord is doing in Mexico. I watched the video of Mark passing out Jesus tracts and everyone was so receptive. That stuck in my mind, because I recently watched a video of a man preaching the gospel on a train. Zero response! Everyone kept looking at their phones and never once looked up. This is the true state of America. We have need of nothing and especially not Jesus. Rev 3:17. As opposed to the precious people of Mexico who know they are poor in spirit and are in need of the Lord to save them. They know something is missing in their lives. When Mark was passing out those Jesus tracts people were very happy and joyful to receive them, here they are rejecting the Savior.” Karen Cochran
We went to a colonia, to a street where no one was outside at the moment, Brother Mark said “God sent us this way for a reason, for someone.” 30 seconds later we came upon Jose! Boom.
Then came the Gospel explosion!
Upon ministering Christ’s Gospel to him, Jose Patron excitedly shared with brother Mark and I about how God had saved him from dying. He simply needed the opportunity to repent and be saved – and that’s exactly what JESUS did. Thank you for lifting our beloved brother Jose in prayer.

It’s no even fair to have the privilege to minister to the beloved Mexicans! SMH.

Thank you for lifting the salvation of the people of Mexico in your prayers. | Mexico Mission
“I love this brother! May God continue to provide and increase his fruit in the lives of the disciples in Mexico, in the Philippines, in Pakistan, in Kenya, in all his earth for his glory! Amen.
I was reading Psalm 8 and John 10. Beautiful beyond understanding is God’s love poured out in Christ Jesus toward us who hear his voice!
Much love to the body of Christ in Mexico and throughout the whole world. Jesus is coming!
“EVERY person you meet, or stand next to in line, is an opportunity to share the Good News. Do not miss the opportunity to bring another into the Kingdom.
I thank God everyday that this happened to me 5 years ago.” Targeted Christian Girl, RN
Let us be blessed to preach Christ’s Gospel this day.
Upon having the Gospel of Jesus preached to her, beloved Laura informed me that she is a born again saint!!! After fellowshipping she took a stash of JESUS tracts. Would you like to pray for sister Laura?
After receiving the ministry of God’s Word, Antonio was asked if he wanted you to lift him in prayer. He eagerly accepted and is glad you will pause to lift his life to the LORD in prayer. | Mexico Mission
ON THE TOPIC OF MEXICO
The Mexican people never handed their country over to the government so that the government can take it away the government cannot take it away because
Historically and presently the Mexican people find a way to circumvent the government. They never let the government have control and therefore the government can’t take their freedom away – because the people recognize their freedom coming from God.
The tax money of the people is a large way that the government controls the people they are empowered by the riches of the people through taxes in order to control and exploit them endlessly. Your tax money fuels your slavery….
Mexican people have a very healthy dis-trust for government. This is unlike many Americans. Many Americans it seems, haven’t learned that the promises candidates make before an election, will nearly never carry them out when elected. It seems the “We’re going to release the epstein files” was a mere ruse to cover those secret files. “It’s all a big club, and you’re not in it.” George Carlin
Thank you for praying for this man, Juan. He received ministry today and is in need of being saved.
