Bibles Into Remote Areas

On our recent trip to Mexico we were privileged to take boxes of Spanish Bibles, gospel tracts and Sunday School literature to two little churches in Ciudad Acuña, one in Santa Eulalia and one in Jimenez. We drove west of Ciudad Acuña on winding country roads to Santa Eulalia through the scrubby landscape; seeing nothing but cactus, pale green chaparral and the occasional vehicle. About the time we thought Santa Eulalia didn’t exist, we saw a small cluster of houses in the distance and finally entered the sleepy little place. There were one or two small grocery stores, a little garage and one tiny restaurant which was closed. But we found a Baptist church that gladly received a box of Bibles and materials. It was called Cristo Viene or Christ is Coming.
