This newsletter brings some of the activities and projects that have been significantly life changing experiences and growth promoting for the people we work with. Over 200 people have been baptized, between San Pedro church and the other sister churches in 2019.Your generous contribution has made it possible to reach new communities and expand our projects. Enjoy reading the good news of the people in our missions. This has been a very fruitful year, full of work, new opportunities, and blessings.

DAD peacefully entered his eternal rest with Jesus Christ on Monday, September 16, 2019, at his home in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. David was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Canada Day (Canada´s Independance Day) and past from this life on Mexico´s Independance Day. Dad lived almost half his life (43 years) in Mexico plus 8 more in South Africa. He was the founder of this ministry, a well know Bible teacher and missionary. We want to thank each of you whom over the years supported him and believed in his calling to teach. Seedtime and Harvest Ministries continues its outreach to Mexico and through Mexican missionaries, other countries of the world.

SAVED BY SOCCER

This year our soccer outreach project has grown greatly. The soccer schools are now opened in the cities of San Pedro (Coahuila), Torreón (Coahuila), Monclova (Coahuila), Nazas (Durango), and in Tegucigalpa in Honduras. Many Children and youth (boys and girls)  from ages 6 to 19 are being reached through soccer, fighting issues like depression, anxiety, violence, drug addiction, joining cartel gangs, amongst others.Our goal is to take this program to other Pastors and missionaries around the world as an evangelism tool. We are praying about expanding in Africa, and have a trip planned there in 2020.

STREET OUTREACH MINISTRY

This year out youth have been taking a special program for children and adults, performing skits, songs, and sharing their testimonies in the villages around our municipality. One of the fruits from this is the opening of a new church building in the village of ¨Carolina¨, which makes this the first Christian church ever in Carolina. Services are now being held once a week.

Summer 2019

Greetings in Jesus´ Name

            

Birth is always exciting. This year has been a year of births in many ways. First of all our first grandchild was born to our daughter Elisa and her husband Paco. On April 2, 2019 Elizabeth Jane Valdivia was born in here in San Pedro. She is a true miracle. After being told by several doctors that they could not have children, God decided to have the final word!  

            The church in San Pedro has grown by almost 50% since the end of 2018. We have baptisms almost weekly and are seeing a great harvest of new converts coming in as a result of the work being down in the small groups and the daily devotionals. These new spiritual babies are being discipled and trained in the Word of God and are now also winning more souls.

The church in Monclova is has grown by more than 400 people since last fall and almost all of the growth has been new converts. We have been working closely with the leadership so that the harvest is not only maintained, but also keeps on growing. The pastors, Gerardo and Emilu Uribe are such tremendous leaders and have a strong soul winning ministry there. Even though there has been strong spiritual attack on the church, it keeps and growing on a weekly basis

The church in Nazas, Durango is still quite new and in a lawless area. The last service I ministered at had over 60 new converts in attendance.   Two other works have been started in neighbouring towns in the past few months. The pastors, Samy and Paloma Castor welcomed their 3 child into their family last month with the birth of Maximo Castor

            We are thankful for your prayers and financial support which makes all of this possible. Please follow us on Facebook for weekly updates at Seedtime and Harvest San Pedro Mexico.

Blessings
