An Unbelievable Weekend! (Ed & Annita Hoagland - Mexico)


On December 18 we had a wedding for a couple and the groom was a new believer. Here in Mexico we use weddings to present the Gospel to the unbelieving family members who attend. Our auditorium was half-filled with some stone faces as they were not happy that their family member had become a believer in Jesus Christ and on top of that, he was getting married in a Baptist church. However, as the Word of God was proclaimed to them, some of their faces began to change. When the invitation was given, nine people responded by receiving Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Needless to say, this couple had many reasons to be thankful on that day!
The following Sunday, we presented our special Christmas program twice, with a packed house both times. It was very exciting to see all the work our people did to make it all happen. We had 326 attend the first presentation and 317 attend the second. During the two invitations, we saw 34 people make a profession of faith in our Lord.
For that weekend, we had a total of 785 people attend our services with 43 receiving Jesus Christ! What an unbelievable weekend, and it’s all because of your prayers!
