Mission of a Lifetime

New Years Greetings From Los Fresnos Texas!

“Wisconsin closed” was posted on Adrianna’s Facebook after the BIG snowstorm December 20. Well, Mexico is “open.” In Mendez, our team was praying for contacts as we walked to the town square. We were found by someone looking for us. The man was the town doctor and pharmacist. He told us how the youth in town were lacking in virtue, direction, and solid Bible teaching. Besides offering us a place to stay when we returned to Mendez, he also served us great coffee with “cow’s milk.” Please pray that God would give us wisdom as we return to Mendez and the surrounding towns.

Mexico is one of two initial focus areas of To Every Tribe Ministries. Because of the great need of Jesus Christ that still exists in southern Mexico, To Every Tribe will be sending its first Field Director to Oaxaca next month. A number of TET graduates are already in language school there with plans to establish church-planting teams. Here at the Center for Pioneer Church Planting (TET’s mission training center), we had the privilege of listening to and learning from Vern and Carla Sterk , missionaries to the unreached people of southern Mexico for 40 years. Guest speakers like the Sterks, with their seasoned experience and wisdom, are an integral part of our training.

A typical week at the CPCP consists of daily classes. In January, Dr. David Sills will be teaching on contextualization. The following week, author Jerry Bridges will be presenting the “Dynamics of Spiritual Formation.” For an hour every Monday, interns meet in mentoring groups. On Tuesday mornings before lunch, all families gather for campus-wide worship. Wednesday includes CPCP prayer groups, and Thursday we gather for Ecclesia church groups. Friday afternoon is a time for the women to meet for Bible study. The second week of every month consists of mission trips into Mexico. Interns are currently working in four different villages, sharing the gospel and developing relationships with the local people.
Our children are thankful for the many new friends they have made here and at our church home, Divine Providence. Opportunities for individual and family growth are before us every day. Living in community is a great sanctifier!

We are so thankful for all of you who partner with us and keep in touch with words of encouragement. Your prayers and gifts cause us to praise God for His faithfulness to us. Thank you! May the Lord continue to bless you during this Christmas season as we remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, already promised in Genesis 3:15 as the seed. This promise was sealed on the cross. Now the Lord is seated on the throne for us, the best is yet to come; HOME!

Feliz Navidad and Happy New Year!

Steve, Laurie, Adrianna, Ethan, Eliora, and Benaiah Klar
