Missionary Trip to Mexico

The missionary group, Family of God, founded by Anatoly Cobra, has been engaged in charitable and evangelical activities in Mexico for 10 years now, particularly in locations adjacent to the United States border. This includes the two northern states of Mexico: Baja California and Sonora. On almost every trip we are accompanied by two of the local evangelists, and the last trip was no exception. Their services and contributions are a huge blessing. We drove all through the night and, after finally passing the customs inspection in the morning, we met up with one of the pastors in Mexicali Frederico. We spent the day in that city and visited one of its poorest suburban areas. The village itself has one street with families living on either side of it in houses built from thin wooden sheets, boards, and other improvised material that by no means can be classified as a home. A canal had been dug on the left side of the road in which there had not been water for many months; instead, it is filled with sewer remains and rubbish. The territory is roamed by stray dogs looking for food. Groups of people gradually gathered as we began installing our equipment. Pastor Federico preached the Word of God, our group sang psalms, and after the service, all of the guests received family-sized food packages, and the children were gifted sweets and toys. The following evangelistic meetings were held inside the male and female urban rehabilitation centers.
