What a day! What a tremendous worship service we had with our brothers and sisters in Christ here in Irapuato. The service was held in the central theater in the center of Irapuato. But what was so great was the coming together of all of the baptist churches from around the city. The place was literally packed. I believe there were around 10 churches represented.
The service started with the praise team from Iglesia Bautista "La Roca." It was awesome. A brief video was shown about the history of the mission work of Crossroads in San Luis Potosi, and the beginning of the new and future work here in Irapuato. Praise teams from Crossroads lifted beautiful praises to our Lord. "Great job, guys!"
I had the privilege of presenting a chalk drawing with a challenge to the churches about the urgency of reaching the lost in Irapuato for Christ. Brother Larry shared what it was for the pastors to be great, the church members to be great, and for the churches to be great-- by being servants to a lost and hurting world. Then brother Jose capped it all off by cutting the ribbon to start off the new commitment to join the churches here in Irapuato to reach this city for Christ.
By the way, my name is Randy Rister. I am a member of First Baptist Church in Harlington, TX. I was invited to do several chalk drawings this week. My contact through Crossroads is through Raymond and Connie Thompson-- please don't hold that against me. Thanks for the invitation.
