Dear Fellow Believers,
As this year draws to a close, it is remarkable to consider how quickly time has passed. Looking back, we might recall the challenges and difficulties that arose from cultural shifts and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. However, amidst these trials, we see a revival spreading across the land again. Many teens waking up to see the truth. Through it all, we are reminded of God’s steadfastness. He is constant - He was and is and always will be. We know that He has all things in His hands. As we face unknowns ahead, we must trust in the Lord and lean not on our own understanding.
Vacation Bible School Update
Our VBS Mexico team completed the last bible school program in the town of Lazaro Cardenez. The church was packed. The participating kids had loads of fun. In addition, we were able to supply them with school supplies. Witnessing the younger generation step in to assist with these efforts was especially
encouraging and inspiring. Sincere appreciation goes to everyone who supported bringing VBS to the children and assisted with acquiring school supplies.
What’s happening on the homefront
Len and Jane Mauk, our board members and dedicated helpers, have returned for the winter. In addition, we have been blessed by the arrival of the Kienast family from Iowa, Davy and Crystal and their 6
children who have come to offer their support. Davy, a former member of the military, brings a wealth of practical knowledge and experience. Davy has already repaired three washing machines that had
previously been out of service despite multiple repair attempts. He has also fixed a security light, our lawn mower and assisted with various other maintenance tasks.
Currently, Richard, Davy, and their oldest child Colton are in the process of dismantling and refurbishing the old play gym, so the children have a safe place to play. Crystal and the children cleaned out the flower beds around the church and deep cleaned the dining hall. They are such a blessing. An answer to prayers for more help.
Tropical storm devastation
Last month, two consecutive tropical storms struck the east coast of Mexico, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and destructive mudslides. The storms caused widespread power outages and destroyed numerous homes, leaving many communities in crisis. Pastor Rosendo organized a relief team to travel to Vera Crus, where they distributed supplies and food and participated in cleanup efforts. Their work supported both members of the missions and residents of the affected communities.
Christmas Tidings
As Christmas draws near, we have already begun preparing and considering the best course of action for the season. With more missions partnering with Flama De La Verdad, we are witnessing an increase in the number of children. This means we have even more opportunities to be a blessing.
From all of us here at Flame of Truth, we extend our warmest wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous New Year. We ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers as we seek to further the gospel wherever God opens doors. It is our privilege to serve as His faithful servants.
Yours in Christ:
Richard and Linda
Melvin and Anna High
