Evangelism in a Postmodern contex

I have been invited to teach a clase in Septembre on Evangelizing Postmoderns. Be praying with we can communicate with the students and help their churches grow. This will be in the Nazarene Seminary of Mexico, in Monterrey.

Leaders Training Encounter 2008

I have been invited to give a workshop on Christian Apologetics at the Leader Training Encounter for México and Central America. This is an important training event for the University Student Ministry in many countries.

If you don't think so, look at the Zietgueist the movie, which is a rather straight forword attack on Christianity. The movie is free on the Internet and can be down loaded. The movie applies many of the post-modern ideas and attacks Christianity with postmodern arguments.

Be praying for us as we try and respond to the anti-Christian, antí-religious mentality that is present in the university environment.

We are also looking for scholarships of $100 dollares to assist the leaders from universities to attend the encounter.

The encounter will be held from July 20-31 close to Queretaro, México

Prayer Requests for May 23 thru 24, 08

Friday is an active day with a class in the morning, a dentist appointment, a funeral in the afternoon and preparing for Saturday and Sunday. This week end the University students in Monterrey are going to have a camp. The title is "My identity in Christ as I identify with His mission." Iwill give the Saturday morning conference on the Identity in Christ. In the afternoons, Saturday and Sunday, Jan and I will give a workshop. Jan's is on conducting group Bible studies and I will teach on the Unity of the Bible. We will not sleep there either Friday or Saturday evening. AND we will rush home after the Saturday workshop, because we had invited people to the house at 8pm, before we knew we were invited to participate in the camp. We invited people for the church to see the God's Big Picture presentation. We have no idea of how many people may come. Pray for all.

Trip to Tijuana


In April I had to attend a Board Meeting for the University Student Ministry. I made arrangements to go a week early to give the workshop on God's Big Picture (Panorama Divino). We had a very enthuiastic response to the workshop. Many bought books and want to study.


Above the National Committee of the University Student Ministry. Members of the committee live in different parts of Mexico where students meet weekly to study God's Word.

God's Big Picture


After National Camp we were able to give workshops on God's Big Picture (Plan Panoramico Divino) in Toluca and Orizaba. This workshop helps people see the unity and theme of the Bible. It also helps them see what the Distance Education program will teach. We have found the workshop excellent for stimulating interest in Distance Bible Education.

At the right is the group in Orizaba, Veracruz. After the workshop many asked for information on books and courses.





In Toluca we have been working for almost two years in Distance Education. A Small group of men are studing. They rarely have missed a class. We are very encouraged by their interes.

National Camp 08

Almost immediately after the graduation we went to the National Camp of the University Student Ministry (Compa). Students came from Tijuana to Merida and listened to an exposition of Ephesians. Jan gave a workshop on the Gospels and I gave one on the theme of the Bible. National Camp was held at an old hacienda in Central Mexico.

On the way to camp we suffered a small accident trying to avoid the smash up that occurred right in front of us. We are thankful for God's protecting us.

Carlos Graduates


On the 13th of March Carlos González Neri graduated from the Distance Education program of Moore Theological College. This ends a three year effort, making Carlos the first to graduate in Mexico. He attends a Faith, Hope and Love Center in San Nicolas, next to Monterrey. He is also a medical doctor who works full time and has a ministry in the University Hospital in Monterrey.

The Faith, Hope and Love Center was the first church we attended in México. It was founded by Danny Ost.
