Chuck and Ramona serve in the field of leadership training in partnership with the Baptist Seminary of Mexico and the Council of Indigenous Evangelical Churches of Mexico (CICEM).

Chuck writes: Last Sunday I attended the Baptist Church in Iguala, Guerrero where one of our Seminary graduates serves as pastor.  It is filled with people of all ages but especially youth:  lively worship, good teaching, lots of love, lots of enthusiasm.  The kind of place you want to be, even when Mexico's soccer team is playing in the world cup!  The kind of place where people can come to know God.  The kind of ministry we want for all of our graduates.

At the seminary we want our students to be good theologians and we want them to be good pastors, preachers and teachers; committed to justice and to the poor and to the planet's well being.  We are less concerned with Jesus' second coming than we are with what we should be doing till he comes.  There is a lot to do.  But in all that we do, we know that if people don't see our relationship with Christ and if people don't hear that message, then we are cheaters, doing nice things but leaving out the single most important piece. 

Thank you for supporting us in our work at the Baptist Seminary and with the churches of CICEM.  Your prayers for us and for the churches of Mexico make all the difference.  

• Pray for Chuck and Ramona as they share the love of Jesus in word and in deed.
• Pray for the students and graduates of the seminary who are extending God’s Kingdom through their ministry in the churches and in the world.
