ONE OF THE STREET BOYS ASKED IF HE COULD RECEIVE CHRIST!
A report from Brad Smith, with Men of Valor International. In April, Brad traveled across the US-Mexican border at Del Rio, TX to teach a small gathering of men in Zaragoza, Mexico at a conference center. This conference center is used for a local outreach ministry to the poor in five area cities. A growing area of ministry is to reach the young men in the streets who, because of domestic issues or drug use, roam these cities as young as age ten. While children's and women's outreaches have been plentiful, the ministry to men in the communities has struggled. Local churches in these cities see few men in attendance.
At this meeting, Brad spoke to men, ages 11-80. They responded with enthusiasm to the introductory teachings. They asked many questions, actively participated in the breakout groups after each session, and even the young men joined in. After the church services on Sunday, a pastor texted Brad that one of the street boys who had attended asked if he could receive Christ.
The first full Men of Valor Conference in Mexico will be this October. Please lift this up in your prayers. Brad thanks Pender and all others for being a part of the Men of Valor ministry through your prayers and financial support so that we can reach men around the world.
