Over the past few weeks, members of Jubilee have led introductory Bible studies with friends and family that have expressed interest in knowing more about Christ. As a result of these studies and much prayer, on February 19th and March 4th, Jubilee baptized several new believers! Julio, Gloria, Toño, Caleb, Celíc, Miguel, Carmen, Antonio each received Jesus as Savior! Please keep each of them in your prayers as they begin new life. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (2 Cor. 5:17) … [Read more...]

The Jubilee Church has a discipling program which includes an Encounter Retreat, held after newly baptized or new members complete the Christianity 101 course.  On February 3 & 4 the Jubilee church held this retreat with 23 people, one of the largest groups to participate.  On Friday afternoon we left for Tulancingo, a smaller city about 40 minutes from Pachuca, meeting at the Hotel Colonial.  The hotel did not have a conference area, but we were blessed, through a contact in the Jubilee church, to have permission to meet in a small … [Read more...]

Our youth retreat was incredible! We took 62 in total -- 24 from New Life and 38 from Jubilee. We had thought that we would be taking about 50, so we were excited that our expectations were surpassed! The retreat was based on Francis Chans' first four themes of his series "BASIC." We showed the videos to get started, and then everyone divided into small groups were they were talked and wrestled with the theme of that day. It was an incredible experience for everyone, not only the youth, but also for the leaders. The smiles and fellowship … [Read more...]

In September we focused our church activities on families. Jubilee is blessed with many families with young children, and during the year we try to have at least a month of teaching to enrich this area of the church. In a leaders’ meeting at the end of August we asked our leaders about some of the cultural norms that influence the Mexican family. Here are a few of their answers: Women (wives) are responsible for the children Women in most families are responsible for Spiritual leadership Men are responsible for provision for … [Read more...]

Sixty-three people from the Jubilee church met together for a picnic on this year’s Mexican Independence Day (September 16). We met at the national park, El Chico, about 20 minutes into the mountains above Pachuca and the day of fellowship and food was wonderful. Soccer was a major activity of the day but there were also many side activities. Several of the ladies pulled out table games, and the kids enjoyed exploring and climbing some of the smaller trees close to the picnic area. Similar to July 4th in the United States, the … [Read more...]

October 2011 Update In September of 2010, the Pachuca Project team hosted a vision summit of partnering congregations. “Join The IMPACT” was the theme of the summit, and we challenged both the Jubilee congregation and our partnering churches to move dynamically forward to secure the land for the future facility of Jubilee. The land owner, a Christian, was willing to give the church three years to pay and was also willing to forgo interest for one year. It seemed impossible to think that in one year we would pay $170,000, but we are … [Read more...]

A JOB WELL DONE! This year’s VBS was a great blessing and opened doors to new families that sent children to this year’s program. The Mt. Pleasant Christian Church of Greenwood, Indiana sent almost their entire children’s ministry staff including Chris Franklin, children’s minister. The Mt. Pleasant group came with the whole VBS program prepared, including props and costumes, while the Jubilee people volunteered as teachers and translators. The combination made for a wonderful week of songs, stories, crafts and games. We were … [Read more...]
