Missionary Trip to Reynosa, Mexico

I just got back from a mission trip to Reynosa, Mexico yesterday! The pictures below are some of the places we went and the people that we ministered to, and also the houses that people live in down there. It was the most exciting time of my life! Everyday we would go to different places where we would invite people to come gather in a certain area where we would do some dramas. Everytime after the dramas, one of the leaders of our team would ask anyone who wanted to be saved to raise their hand, and would pray the sinner's prayer with them. Then, the leader would explain that Jesus can heal them and he would send us into the crowd that had gathered to lay hands on the sick. We were there for five days and we had about 25 people who had come along. In the five days that we were there, we ministered to over 1300 people and fed 800 starving people who lived in tiny houses made of stuff like off the street...trash and stuff! 64 people received Jesus Christ as their savior, and there were 14 confirmed healings! The first night that we arrived, two of my friends and I laid hands on this lady who had had lower back pain for two years. We commanded her back to be healed and to straighten into perfect alignment in the name of Jesus and instantly she was healed! She was saying, "No mas dolor! No mas. No mas." Which means "No more pain! No more. No more"! It was a very exciting thing to see happen in front of our eyes. Also, I think it was the next day, another lady was healed of an eye problem to where she couldn't open one of her eyes all the way! The lady placed one of our team member's hands on her eye and when she took it off her eye had opened and she was saying, "Gracias! Gracias!" Also, a little girl, probably five years old, was healed of a stuttering problem. We also went to this elderly lady's house who was very sick in bed, we prayed for her and after we had finished, she said that the night before, she had had a dream that we had come to her house to pray for her! And there is no way she could have had any idea that we were coming, because even we didn't have it planned! Yesterday, we arrived home, and today, my brother laid hands on a lady who had been a singer, but she lost almost all her hearing, and today, Daniel prayed over her and her ears popped all the way open! This trip has really built my faith, and I can't wait to go on another one. Seeing people saved just about the most exciting thing to see. We must go out and tell the world about Jesus Christ, because our time is running out, and things are happening in the world today, signs that it is the end times, and Jesus will be returning sooner than we think. The harvest truly is plenteous!

This is just one of the roads in one of the villages we visited, and this is where we walked along and invited people to come to watch our dramas. We usaully got them to come by giving them candy or by telling them that there was going to be candy there.


Here is a picture of the first crowd of people that we ministered to in Mexico other than at the church where we stayed. They are watching us do our dramas in this picture.

Here is a picture of some of our team members doing one of the dramas, which is called Rag Man. This is at the very end of the drama, and the guy in the red is playing Jesus.





Here's a picture of some Mexican children trying so hard to get candy out of the back of our van.

Another picture of them trying to get candy.

Here is another picture of the drama called Rag Man. Right here, the guy in the red shirt is playing Jesus, and he has just taken everyone's sicknesses and is dying on the cross.

Here is that crowd of people who were trying to get the candy out of the van, but here they are watching us do our dramas.


This is the church that we stayed at night and that we would stop by a lot during the day to eat and stuff. It began to feel like this place was our home, because this is where we would wake up every morning and dance with chickens and play red light, green light in the dark in the secret room. lol, yeah, it's a kinda random...
