Mission of the Month
Mission Spotlight for January 2025
Karla, Pastor Larry and Linda Carnes' adopted daughter and her family, Samual and Cristina
Martinez, built a church several years ago in Ramos Arizipe, a village near Saltillo, Mexico. This ministry is growing rapidly with active children and youth. Karla shared with Trinity that they need more tables and chairs to provide seating in the Sunday School classes. It is a wonderful blessing to have that need when educating and bringing the Gospel to underprivileged people in any community.
We, at Trinity Grace Fellowship, are calling you this New Year to stretch your minds and extend your love and compassion to this community as the children and youth open their hearts and
accept Jesus as their personal Savior. Led by the Martinez family, we can have a part of reaching the body of believers with a demonstration of our love for such a valuable ministry. I ask that we each give from our abundance to help the least of these as we are called following the lead of our Savior, that came during the Christmas season, and to lead by example of what being humble and self-less means.
Show your support to this Spotlight of the Month with donations of cash, checks or other
resources and mark your gifts with the designation "Ramos Arizipe Mission Church Classrooms"
during the month of January 2025.
Hear God's words from Deuteronomy 15:10-11, "Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore, I command you to be open-handed toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land."
