This month has been busy in laboring in the Gospel. Typically, I have been on a schedule of preaching 5 times per week between the outreaches, rehab-center, discipleship, and Sunday meetings. In addition to this, we have been fellowshipping at a local church in Guadalajara here and meeting with the pastor to pray for conversions and revival. I have also re-enrolled in a Spanish language school and am studying for hours every day of the week in and out of school. My Spanish is getting a lot better, and I am able to understand much of what is being spoken, but still find great difficulty in speaking it myself and am unable to communicate appropriately. At the current pace, I hope to be conversational within 4-5 months, Lord willing.

I agree that many in Mexico need to be evangelized. However, it needs to be in the fullness of Christian Truth - Catholic Christianity. Far too many Mexican's are not really Catholic Christians with a saving faith. Instead they are only "cultural Catholics" without a lived saving faith. The True Catholic faith is not the problem, a LACK of TRUE understanding of what the Catholic faith is, is the problem. The "Christianity" you preach has some truth, but is not the Full Christian truth as evidenced by your Bible (66 books only), incomplete doctrine,

The Catholic Church was established not by Christ, but by Constantine. It promotes "another gospel" teaching that salvation is not by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone based on Scripture alone, but that salvation is by faith plus observance of the "sacraments" and many other religious traditions and ceremonies of men. The Catholic Church teaches that Christ's one sacrifice on the cross did not purchase salvation in full for God's elect, and that His work is not finished, but that He has to keep being sacrificed for sin over and over again on thousands of Catholic altars around the world every day in the form of the Mass and Eucharist. The true Jesus of the Bible purchased salvation once for all with His blood. The Catholic "jesus" is a counterfeit that is nothing more than an idol and false god whose body and blood aren't good enough to purchase eternal salvation for anyone, by the definition of the Catholic church itself. While the Catholic church has pronounced dozens of "Anathemas" on all protestants who believe that salvation is by the means of faith alone in Christ, the Word of God pronounces an "Anathema" on all those who add works to the Gospel of grace (Gal. 1).
