Mission to Mexico
What was planned to be primarily a time of preparation for a major mission/church planting project in April 2007, turned out to be a wonderful and powerful time of harvest and miracles in itself, combined with many real God-appointments with leaders and ordinary people in day to day encounters . Over a week of various meetings, around 400 people surrendered their lives to Christ as Brian Kuppan (our mission Director), and Ulrik Siegenfelt ( cameraman from Denmark who came to video and create a documentary…soon to be seen here on the web…watch this space !) and myself ministered in a whole variety of settings…from the streets to outside a hospital (giving out free food to the poor and sharing the Gospel, praying for the sick etc.) to a car parking lot to public meetings.
Jesus - Fact or Fiction
A New Life is exactly what God promises to give everyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ, His Son. The Bible says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…a brand new person !, old things have passed away, and all things have become new !” (2 Cor. 5:17). We all have a common problem, and we all have an answer, if we will take it!

Salvation through Jesus
Some time, roughly 2000 years ago the bible tells us about the events leading up to the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. In the gospel of John, chapter 3 and verse 16 we are told that “God so loved the world (you) that He gave His one and only son (Jesus) that whoever (you) believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” The truth is that ‘all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God’ in fact man has always ‘sinned’ and rebelled. God is holy and almighty and can’t stand our human sin. The bible teaches that ‘the wages or price of our sin is death’. God requires justice to be paid for sin which all mankind has committed. This is the reason why God gave His son, Jesus Christ into the world to live as a man without sin and take the punishment for your sin and mine on himself by dieing the most brutal death on a cross. God loves you so much that He was prepared to allow His son to die and take your sin upon himself so that justice would be paid and so that you can enjoy eternal life in all its fullness. As Christians we believe that Jesus Christ came to give us an abundant life. Life with joy, health, happiness and freedom. In fact when Jesus died on the cross, the bible tells us that he also took our sicknesses and diseases. Death could not hold Jesus and His body was taken off the cross and put into the tomb. On the third day, Jesus Christ had risen, it is recorded that over 700 people saw Jesus after his death and resurrection. After his resurrection, Jesus ascended to be with father God.
God love you so much that he wants the very best for you. The honest truth of the gospel is that there is a heaven and hell. Salvation is about being redeemed from hell and being given all of Gods riches at Christ’s expenses. This is Gods grace. Getting to heaven is not a case of following a religious set of rules or doing good works but simply asking Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins, acknowledging that Christ is Lord of your life and then living in obedience to Him. The bible says that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God…” and that “…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead then you will be saved.”
All historians will say that there is more evidence for Jesus Christ living and dieing than there is that Napoleon existed. The question of His divinity is confirmed through the Jewish scriptures as prophets of old foretold Christs coming. Jesus demonstrated His sovereignty over sickness and death by healing the sick. The gospels are full of accounts of Jesus healing people. Today as we preach the gospel of Christ, Jesus still heals the sick today as we pray in His name.
So how can you receive eternal life?
1. Believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God
2. Believe that He died as a substitute for your sins
3. Confess with your mouith that He is your Lord
4. Say sorry for the things you have done wrong
Simply speak to God. You don’t need to use posh, religious language, but rather talk to him as a father. He hears you and will speak to you and answer your prayers. You could use a simple prayer like this…
"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
If you have prayed this prayer sincerely in your heart and you have meant it, then the bible says that you are a Christian. It is important that you now tell another Christian what you have done and that you follow a few basic steps to help you in your walk with the Lord.
Firstly, get yourself a bible. If you don’t know where to get one then contact us and we can send you one. The bible is Gods word, he speaks through it. Read it every day and take time to listen to what he has to say.
