Baptisms in Majahual


This is currently one of my favorite pictures of mission work in Mexico. It was taken outside of the home where Brad and Heidi Krause stayed during their year in Majahual. In the photo, Brad is baptizing a young girl named Abilene Corona Jimenez.

As I've mentioned before, Brad and Heidi spent nearly a year as volunteers in Majahual, a town about four hours south of Cancún. During their time there, Brad had the chance to baptize others in the area, including six children of the family pictured below:



Brad and Heidi were able to lay the foundation for a future church in Majahual. The Mexican Lutheran Church is working toward calling a Mexican pastor to officially open a mission there. Here is one of the groups the new home missionary will be working with near Majahual:



As always, it is a thrill to watch God's hand at work. He used Brad and Heidi to reach more with his Gospel. We trust he will continue to guide the Mexican Lutheran Church as it goes through the calling process, and that he will lead a Mexican pastor to accept the call and start a mission congregation there.
