First Worship at Mission in León

On Sunday, we held the first service at the new mission in León!

Seminary student Dan led the liturgy and Mike preached to the 27 people in attendance (17 of these were Mexicans, plus 10 from the mission team).


Since English classes started a month ago, students have asked questions about the Lutheran church. The idea behind this service was to show how Lutheran worship is carried out and what Lutherans believe. Mike preached a basic law and Gospel sermon, highlighting the free gift of salvation that is ours through Jesus Christ.

This service went so well that another one is scheduled for Father's Day.

In addition, eight English students are currently enrolled in Bible Information classes.

Reflecting on the good turnout on Sunday, all I can say is, "Wow! God be praised." At the beginning of this year, I never pictured myself moving to León and being able to play a supportive role in starting a new mission. But looking back on how things have fallen into place, there's no other place I'd rather be right now.

So join us in giving thanks for such wonderful blessings so soon after arriving in León!
