Greetings in Christ Beloved SHBC & Family Partners!!
The above picture portrays but a small portion of our time last week in the Cuernavaca, Mexico Community. Here, we are preparing to ascend the mountain to ancient Indian Ceremonial Ruins [ note arrow], where pagan Gods were worshipped and human lives were sacrificed. Yet, the HONOR was completely ours to re-claim the land and structures by openly holding a Christian Worship Service and Prayer Vigil once summited!! PTL!! J
God was certainly ever-present throughout our 10 day encounter, which also included: community prayer walking, door to door evangelism, hospital evangelism, children’s outreach in an Orphanage, ministry within a Battered/Mentally Challenged Women’s Center, ministry in Two Separate Men’s Alcohol/Drug Rehab Centers and continual team modeling/partnering with a local Spirit-Filled Charismatic Congregation: Ministry of Power, and our BELOVED friends/SHBC Mission Partners: The Andrew and Sheryl Conrad Family!!
Words alone could never suffice to say how truly grateful we were to represent the American Fellowship of Believers in BOTH:
- sharing Christ’s Gospel Message of Hope, Love and Redemption to the Lost and Hurting, and
- enriching local Followers of Christ through our partnership in Prayer, Preaching and Proclaiming our Allegiance in Christ and His Word!!
Thanks again for your PRAYERS, Financial contribution and abundant LOVE!! J J
May these most precious and dearly beloved peoples - remain buried in your prayers for yet years and years to come!!
Believing…
For the followers of Christ in MEXICO
Pray the believers among the Cuernavaca Community clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
For the entire MEXICAN People Group
Pray that each individual in and throughout Cuernavaca may soon hear the Gospel message in an understandable and acceptable form. Pray for the Holy Spirit to prepare each heart to understand and to receive the gift of life found in Jesus Christ.
For the Team, most humbly until all have heard the story,
Hannah Kirkpatrick & Pastor Gary [daddy J] <”{{><

High School Florida Retreat March 27- April 1
We thank the Lord for another great year in Panama City with our High School Student Ministry. There were 3 salvations experiences and many students who re-dedicated their lives to Christ. Our pastors who attended had the privilege of baptizing 6 students in the Gulf of Mexico. What an experience! Brad and Paula Pilkington led worship and many youth leaders took vacation time to prepare food and join us in our beach ministry.
Most recently three ladies from SHBC joined Vinyard Church Fellowship for a missions trip to Honduras. Read the testimonials of Donna Haas, Cris Miller and Cher Fouty and click here for a look into their amazing journey.
Jordan Mission Trip October 15-31
The SHBC Mission Team is pleased to provide their support toward The Jordan Mission. A team of nine will be traveling to the country of Jordan in October. The three participants from SHBC are Sid Fouty, Freida Ruscak and Marge Brubaker. The Jordan Mission will come along-side local Christ-followers who minister to broken, abused and abandoned Arab men and women without known hope or choices.
