The Word in their Language

In February, a team of nine people from the Church of the Rock in Winnipeg drove down to Aldama, Mexico. Aldama is a small village located in the mountains five hours south of Brownsville, Texas.
We took day trips to small communities and shared the gospel through song, drama and preaching. We gave Spanish New Testaments and Bibles to those who came forward to accept Christ as their Saviour and those who asked for prayer. One woman commented that it had been “seven years since someone from Canada visited our village.”
We spent an afternoon visiting people in the hospital in Matamoros. People were open to receive prayer for healing, and we were also able to encourage them through the spoken, as well as the written, Word. We were excited about the opportunity to give many of them a copy of the Scriptures in their own language.
