Celebrating Mission

This morning we had a real treat as we welcomed Doris and Ricardo Mayol into our midst. Doris and Ricardo are missionaries in southern Mexico. They have a dual role down there. They often travel to the remote villages in the hills and work with the Mayan people. Many of the indigenous people distrust the government and often hide from outsiders. Yet, the Mayols have established a rapport with them and are ministering to them in concrete ways.

The Mayols also teach at the Seminary and help train pastors to go back into the hills to start churches and special ministries among the people. In Sunday School Doris and Ricardo shared some stories with our Young Adult class. In worship they share even more of what their ministry is doing in the lives of the people they meet. It was powerful stuff and we could feel the presence of God in our service.
