Graduate prepares to return to Oaxaca as Home Missionary!
Two years ago, October 3 of 2006, the first students of Instituto Biblico Baja began their first class. In June 2008 six students will graduate. One of these students is Senen Ruiz Tello. He and his family are preparing to return to their home town of Chalcatongo, Oaxaca, as home missionaries this coming fall.
Senen, Bernadita his wife, son Manuel, and youngest daughters Sara and Salmai will leave the relative comfort of their home in Papalote, Baja California to return to their "rancho" to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with their relatives. They have many obstacles facing them. Already family members have rejected them because of their stand for Christ.
They know that living their changed lives before their pueblo will be the greatest testimony of all. They will not be able to go and talk directly with family unless invited. The hardships of subsistence living will be part of their lives again. They realize that more will be demanded of them than of others in their community because of their stand for Christ. They know that persecution even martyrdom may await them.
But Senen and Bernadita say this, "God has called us to return and we must be obedient to this call. We can do nothing else."
 Completed Classrooms
The Free Methodist Conference of Baja California has been in existence for 50 years and this is the first Biblical Institute in its history. This is only the beginning of what God is planning for this conference. God is using small Papalote to confound the men and women of the larger towns who said..."Where is Papalote? It can't be done!"
God can do whatever He choses to do. He is preparing men and women who harvest crops for a living here in the San Quintin valley to be the Harvesters of His Fields for eternity.
Please pray for Senen, Junior, Catalino, Lazaro, Luis, and Maricella who have taken a huge leap of faith, trusting God to provide for them as they prepare for whatever ministry in which they are called to serve.
