June 30, 2020 | Denise & Juan Aragón The Aragon Kids Share about Life and Experience in Chiapas

One of our partner churches in West Virginia, Lubeck Community Baptist Church, asked us if our children, Juan and Ziba, wanted to share in a brief video about their life and experience in Chiapas for a children’s message. Well, they were willing to do it. Throughout the journey as Missionary Kids (MKs), they’ve had ups and downs, and have made significant adjustments to their lives, but we’ve seen God’s hand 🖐🏽 on them. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!👍🏽🙏🏽❤️🇲🇽

This coming Sunday the global church celebrates the Day of Pentecost to commemorate the coming of God’s Spirit upon His people.

March 23, 2020 | Denise & Juan Aragón Trusting God in Challenging Times

Psalm 46:1-3 has been a source of faith and hope during this challenging time:

God is our refuge and strength, 
a very present help in trouble. 
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth should change, 
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; 
though its waters roar and foam, 
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
The more obstacles you have, the more opportunities there are for God to do something. ~ Clarence W. Jones

August 1, 2019 | Denise & Juan Aragón A Journey with “Topes”

In the book of Acts there are many obstacles (topes) that must be overcome for the Gospel to spread.  Fear, language, prejudice, funding, geography, opposition… and the list goes on.  One can easily make the case that these same obstacles still challenge mission today. But as we learn from Acts, there are no barriers to the movement of God’s Spirit! God’s work, God’s will, will be accomplished.

June 19, 2019 | Denise & Juan Aragón Trials in The Journey

We know that with this trial God is inviting us to a deeper trust. And we invite you to join us in this part of the journey by lifting us up in prayer so the Lord brings to our path the right medical team that can properly diagnose and treat me and the peace in our minds and hearts that everything will be ok.

April 30, 2019 | Denise & Juan Aragón Mastering the basics

We’re on this journey for the long haul. So, we have intentionally decided to master two things we believe to be foundational in our calling to Chiapas. “A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in a little thing is a big thing,” Hudson Taylor wisely observed. We want to be faithful in two “little things”: depending on God and cultivating trust and relationships.
