Have you ever wondered how God’s love breaks through barriers and brings real transformation to families and communities? Every story of a changed life reminds us that the hope of Christ knows no borders. Over the past couple of months, amazing things are happening in Mexico and on the Big Island, marriages are being restored, new believers are being baptized, and children are discovering God’s love through the kindness of His people. These testimonies aren’t just moments of encouragement; they are living proof that your prayers and generosity are making a difference.

Celebrating God’s Transforming Power

One of the churches we helped build and launch 11 years ago is Belén (Bethlehem), led by Pastor Iván and his wife, Rocío. Over the years, Iván and Rocío have become cherished friends, and we’ve walked together through many ups and downs, encouraging one another along the way.

Recently, Pastor Iván shared with me the story of Sergio and Andrea. When they first came to the church, they were living together but not married, raising two children. Their family was on the verge of falling apart. As they began to attend services, little by little their hearts started to change until they surrendered their lives to Christ.

Just a few weeks ago, Sergio and Andrea were baptized along with ten others. They shared that giving their lives to Christ was the best decision they had ever made. Once weighed down by bitterness, resentment, and jealousy, they are now growing in their love for Christ and for one another. Their marriage is being restored, and Andrea has even begun teaching children at Sunday School. What a beautiful testimony of God’s transforming grace!

A New Life in La Paz

In La Paz, Baja Sur, Pastor Benjamín and Blanca Romero also shared about five baptisms in August. Among them was Liz, a young woman with a master’s degree in finance. For years, she lived a wild lifestyle, but two years ago she began attending church. It took time, but this summer she finally surrendered her life fully to Christ.

When her mom and close friends noticed the change, they kept asking what had happened. Liz’s simple response was, “I don’t know exactly how, but I do know that I’ve given my life to Christ, and now He is my Lord.”

We praise God for stories like Sergio and Andrea’s and Liz’s. These are just two of many examples of how the Lord is transforming lives, families, and communities through His Church.
