Christian School News
Monte Hebron Christian Academy
All of the students are working hard to finish goals by the end of the school year.  We have two Kindergarteners graduating to 1st Grade and one Senior, Andrew, who plans to attend Hyles Anderson in the fall. 
Notice our new church sign -- we are somewhat proud of it!

Soulwinning

Ganar Almas

We are changing up our soulwinning program a little bit this year.  We will have one church-wide soulwinning meeting and all go out together.  We have been doing this on Thursdays and so far this has generated the excitement that is often seen with the addition of new soulwinners!  We have had over 80 soulwinners going to different parts of the city each week!

Bible Clubs

During Spring Break which is nationwide and always adjacent to Easter, Mt Hebron conducts neighborhood Bible Clubs all throughout Monterrey.  This year we gave out certificates and invited parents to come see their children receive them.  We had scores of visitors the Sunday after Easter, April 8.  Here are the students receiving certificates, only a few of which are our regular church kids.

Mrs. Brenda's Home - Going Service

(Out of respect for the family, no pictures posted)

On Easter Sunday morning at around 9:00 am, Mrs. Brenda Ashcraft was welcomed into Heaven.  As sad as we are to say goodbye, we know there will be a wonderful reunion one day!

There were hundreds of people in attendance from Mexico and the United States, as well as some of our Institute graduates from other countries, and of course, Mrs. Brenda's daughter and family from El Salvador.  The service was a fitting tribute to a faithful servant of the Lord.  The church members prepared food for the entire family for several days.  Their outpouring of love was more than amazing.

It was sweet to witness the different reactions of the children:

Jonathan: "Mama, can I send a message to Granny from your phone to tell her I miss her?"

Mama: "Granny can't get your message in Heaven."

Jonathan: "Doesn't God have WiFi up there?"

Tommy: "I let all of Granny's friends kiss me and I didn't make any faces!"

Lucas, Knocking on the casket calling for Granny: "Shh! Granny's sleeping."

Housing Plans are "In the Works!"

Some men of the church have already started working on renovating one of the houses left on our side of the property after last year's legal battle.  One whole side of the house needs re-building, which means I can pretty much design the lay-out.  I will need nearly all new furnishings and household items, so this will be a work in progress for some time. 

*PTL! My refrigerator purchased by Heritage Baptist Church was removed from the other house before it was inaccessible to us!
